This $5M Alaska estate has its own indoor street and a pirate ship
Let’s look at this wild 17,000-square-foot setup sitting on Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska. It is called Second Star, and it is absolutely bonkers.
The outside vibe
Here is how it looks in the dead of winter, looking like some massive lodge.

When the snow melts, you get a better sense of just how sprawling this place actually is.

They went all out with the woodwork, starting right at the driveway sign.

The main hangout spaces
Walking through the front door, you immediately notice the timber and custom ceilings.

The main living space feels like a high-end lodge, complete with log pillars and sofas.

There is a massive fish tank built right into the stone wall of the living room.

They also tucked a foosball table right in the middle of the room, because why not.

Everything is wide open, so you can see right up to the second-level loft from the main floor.

The scale of the furniture in here is hilarious—the main sofa could probably seat an entire hockey team.

Let’s talk about the kitchen
Before we get to the actual cooking space, check out the dining table situation right next to the windows.

The kitchen is basically a playground for a private chef, featuring a granite island with bar seating.

They used this crazy patterned tile that looks like natural stone slabs under the island.

Even the stainless steel fridge gets its own custom wooden archway.

The private spa wing
This is where things get truly ridiculous. There is an entire indoor pool wing facing the water.

The pool has built-in swim jets so you can get a workout in while staring at Alaskan glaciers.

The back of the pool room features custom wooden doors that look like old barn doors.

Behind one of those doors is a full-sized sauna to warm up after a cold day outside.

There is also a stone-lined hot tub area that feels like a hidden cave.

If you just want to sit and listen to water, they built this stone waterfall wall between two lounge chairs.

Even the laundry room in the pool wing is dialed in, with built-in cubbies stuffed with pool towels.

And of course, there is a custom walk-in shower covered in tiny mosaic stones.

Yes, there is a literal candy shop
Tucked away in the basement is a fake indoor street that looks like old-school London.

Behind one of those storefronts is a fully operational candy shop stocked with glass jars.

Right next to the candy shop is a private theater with curved wooden tiers and leather recliners.

They even put a wood-fired pizza oven in the wall to keep the snacks flowing during movie night.

Peter Pan’s top floor
To get to the top floor, you walk through these glass doors with a painted mural of London at night.

And then you walk directly onto a 2,000-square-foot replica of Neverland, complete with a pirate ship.

The ship actually has built-in beds inside the captain’s quarters, featuring round porthole windows looking at the bay.

If you don’t feel like taking the stairs down from the play deck, you can just use the slide.

On the other side of the room is an artificial treehouse built right into the structure.

The floor inside the play area is covered in soft artificial turf to make it feel like an outdoor forest.

Inside the treehouse, there is a cozy bunk bed labeled for Wendy.

Even the guest bedrooms on this floor keep the theme alive, like this one with a custom rocking horse.

There is also this massive bunk room that looks like a high-end cabin cruiser.

The actual bedrooms
When you want to escape the theme park vibes, the main bedrooms are surprisingly elegant.

The master bath features a circular tub on a granite platform.

This guest room has walls covered in textured cork bark and a window framing the green lawn.

Another bedroom features deep blue walls and an incredibly ornate wooden bed frame.

There is also a private office space with a heavy executive desk and a decorative tin ceiling.

Every bathroom has its own personality, like this one with a freestanding tub against a dark slate wall.

This bathroom features a vintage wooden vanity and a clawfoot tub tucked under the eaves.

This bedroom has rustic wood paneling on the lower half of the walls to keep things cozy.

Outside on the water
The outdoor covered patio has a huge stone fireplace so you can sit outside even when it is chilly.

There is a massive curved deck that wraps around the entire back of the house.

From the deck, you get this completely unobstructed view of Kachemak Bay and the mountains.

If the wind picks up, you can retreat to this stone-wrapped sunroom to watch the sunset.

The backyard basically melts right into the coastline, giving you miles of open water to stare at.

It is hard to beat having glaciers and snowy peaks as your everyday backyard view.
