A massive home on the housing market in Homer, Alaska, has a popular real estate social media page doing backflips and swooning little heart eyes.

The seven-bedroom, 12-bathroom home is listed for $8.5 million and has everything anyone could ever want in a home — and then some.

“Situated on 2.5 acres of Alaska’s most picturesque oceanfront property with beach access to Kachemak Bay, this custom home has walls of windows with sweeping views of the bay and surrounding mountains,” the listing on Realtor.com says. “Relax on the deck or in the conservatory while watching the seals, otters, eagles and whales play. Meticulous attention to detail and luxury abound, this home is truly a crown jewel for Alaska.”

While the listing doesn’t have much to offer in terms of a description, based on the photos, the residence has so much to offer including:

  • Open floor plan

  • Hardwood floors

  • Views

  • Observation area

  • Massive kitchen space

  • Deck

  • Theater

  • Huge play area for kids

  • Indoor pool

  • Indoor spa

The house was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that highlights unique homes for sale. And most fans fell head over heels.

”I. Love. This. And I love Alaska!”, one response said.

“I have never seen a house on here that I love more than this one. I wouldn’t change a thing,” one person said.

“I’ve never wanted to live in Alaska but... I’d live here in Alaska,” someone commented.

“Now this is what I’m talking about when I say ‘I’m moving to Alaska!’” another gushed.

“It doesn’t get much prettier than living in Homer, Alaska. It’s truly Heaven on earth!” one person noted.

“I would move in tomorrow. I love it,” someone said.

Just found my dream home,” another tweeted.

Homer is a picturesque town on the water and surrounded by mountains. It has nearly 6,000 residents and is about 220 miles south of Anchorage. It’s popular with Alaskans and tourists, with some luxury cruise lines making ports of call.
