Turkington Estate

Turkington Estate Beautiful home with a rich Alaskan history is waiting to help your family create lasting memories. Check out our Whole House

Bob first came to Alaska in 1946.

The panoramic view of Kachemak Bay from Turkington Estate's private 28 acres is one of the most breathtaking views you can experience while visiting Homer. Grewingk Glacier, Poots Peak, Gull Island, the Homer Spit and more; they're all visible! Turkington Estate is part of the last remaining acres of Bob and Carolyn Turkington's original 360 Acre Farm. Turkington Estate's B&B was Bob and Carolyn's

home which their eldest son, wife, children and grandchildren have converted into a rental for guests to experience this unique property. The home has been separated into an upstairs and downstairs unit. This listing is for the upstairs unit of the home which gives you over 1500 sq ft of living space. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, washer and dryer, large living room, full kitchen, dinning area, front balcony, and a spacious back deck! He drove from Hartford Connecticut in Model A's and eventually found his way down to Homer. He fell in love and knew this is where he wanted to live. He soon returned to Connecticut, married Carolyn and brought her back to Homer in 1948. The Estate is now in the care of Bob and Carolyn's eldest son Alan, wife Joyce, their 4 children and 5 grandchildren. The way the sun plays off of the snow covered mountain peaks, glaciers and clouds across the bay, you'll have a front row seat to some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets Alaska has to offer. Grewink Glacier, Poots Peak, Gull Island, the Homer Spit and more, they're all visible from the Estate. Through the summer months it's not uncommon to see a mamma moose and her young stroll through the property, an eagle soar overhead in search of a meal or have a flock of Sandhill Crane land in the field and forage for food with their young. Guests might enjoy going for a stroll around the property exploring the various flora that grows wild, picking a snack of wild raspberries from the raspberry patch in the late summer and fall, sit out on the deck and watch the sun set in the late summer evenings or read Carolyn's diary entries and view photos from the Turkington family's adventures to Alaska in Model A's from Connecticut 70 years ago. The Turkington's are 2nd 3rd and 4th Generation Alaskans/Homerites and we love the last frontier. We're thrilled you stopped by our page to learn more about the Estate. We hope you'll choose to spend part of your Alaskan adventure with us!

🍃🌬️🍂🦅 Fall is in the air at Turkington Estate! We caught a couple of magpies hanging out with a bald eagle perched on a branch surrounded by beautiful fall leaves. The eagle even sang a song for us while we filmed. 🦅🍂🌬️🍃

❤️🌄 We had some very good congregations of 150 to 200 Sandhill Crane at Turkington Estate this year before they flew south for the winter. This particular day we got to sit and enjoy their company for quite a while. They feel pretty safe as they come every year and each generation also brings their colts to the homestead also. It sure is nice to hear their calls and watch them dance as their anticipation for the flight south for the winter builds. 🌄❤️

❤️ We love this time of the year at Turkington Estate. Large groups of Sandhill Crane start to congregate at the end of the summer as their colts practice flying for the long journey south for the winter. So fun to hear them from dusk to dawn coming and going, taking off in groups and flying all around east end and the homestead. ❤️

❤️🌄 We haven't done very many time lapses of the hill behind the property but it's really beautiful too, especially this time of the year with the low lying clouds gliding across the hill. 🌄❤️
