About This Home
As of November 2018This is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful home on MacDonald Spit. Don't delay, this well built home has all the comfort of modern day living (power, water, septic) in one of the most beautiful and remote/yet accessible waterfront locales! This property is a must see - please read additional supplement for more information!This property is located in a very desirable location in the middle of MacDonald Spit with beach access on both Kachemak Bay and Kasitsna Bay. Much of the spit belongs to the Seldovia Native Association and The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, so there is very little available for private sale. This particular lot has fantastic morning sun because it faces the "inside"/Kasitsna Bay side of the spit, and also enjoys unobstructed and glorious sunsets as the other side faces Kachemak Bay. The beach is easily accessible on both sides of the property, as it is primarily a level property throughout. There are some mature trees and foliage, but the majority of the land is improved with home and shop as well as the gabions to protect the property from the seas on both sides.
This lovely property enjoys unobstructed views of the Seldovia mountains, Kasitsna Bay and the islands to the north, and Kachemak Bay to the south with 180 degree views of Augustine, Iliamna and Redoubt on a clear day! It is accessible via a private 4 wheeler easement off of Jakolof Bay Road and can be accessed year round – if you have plowing capabilities or stay on the beach! There are ramps up from the beach on both sides, one is owned completely by the subject property, and the other is a shared ramp with the neighbor. The parcel is .43 acres, with approximately 110' of waterfront on both Kasitsna Bay and Kachemak Bay (over 220 feet in total).
The 1,743 sq ft home was built around 1991 and has been well maintained. The 5 foot tall crawl space is enclosed by commercial metal retaining walls and the beams are creosote and solid, and the crawl space is dry and structure appears in great condition.
The heat in the home is with a Toyo stove, which is a very efficient and reliable fuel oil system, along with a new soapstone wood stove for supplemental and ambiance heat. The property is served by HEA, however, as a back-up program, there is a 6K watt generator in an outside shed set up to supply power to the home in the event of an HEA outage.
The non-conventional, though very effective septic system is created with three 50 gallon hazmat-style perforated barrels, buried over 7 feet deep, set on gravel. There is no way for the septic to be further than 100 feet from the water due to the fact that this spit is surrounded on either side by the two bays. This system has adequately served the owners for almost 30 years with many guests, and without fail. Owner treats the septic with a natural product to maintain the breakdown of solids and it has effectively managed the usage. There are also two other separate yet similarly buried tanks to serve the gray waters from the shed utility sink and the kitchen sink.
The water to the cabin is fed by a line from the hillside at the base of the spit which serves the entire spit properties. Owner has a 400 gallon stainless steel holding tank securely situated in the crawl space, and water pump so there is always plenty of water and pressure. Seller does use a filter.
The home is being sold fully furnished and outfitted, so that it will be a turn-key opportunity for the buyer. There are two large bedrooms, one on the main level with views of Kasitsna Bay and one upstairs with views of Kachemak Bay! There is also a cozy bunk room that houses 4 twin beds to house the influx of summer guests! There are two ¾ bathrooms – one upstairs and one downstairs. The downstairs bathroom also has a large laundry area with both washer and dryer. The downstairs area includes a kitchen and dining area that face Kasitna Bay and the morning sun, and the expansive "Great room" faces Kachemak Bay and enjoys the cozy fireplace and plenty of seating for family and friends to gather. The kitchen also has a heated storage pantry, so that when the home is shut down during the winter months, this room is kept warm enough all winter to store items that could freeze.
Outside there are the two ramps that come up to the property from the beaches, through the gabions to gain access from both Kasitsna Bay and Kachemak Bay sides. These are large enough to bring a side-by-side vehicle up and down from the property. There is a large shop and garage adjacent to the home, with power, massive storage and even water service in the shop for utility use. The shop will be sold with fishing poles, tools, and even a 4 wheeler will stay on the property. There are also a variety of outdoor rubbermaid storage units that store oils, gas cans and tools – the important items to maintain the property. Even though there are indoor toilets, there is also a new outhouse on site with a mesh bottom, and rock so that it maintains itself with just a little help!
This property is a rare find, and an amazing opportunity for someone who loves this area! As mentioned before, these properties don't come up very often, so if you are interested... don't hesitate! Please give a call! I would love to show it to you.
