The Victor Holm Homestead is a historic late 19th-century homestead property in Kasilof, Alaska. The 1.4-acre (0.57 ha) property is located on Cohoe Road, on the west bank of the Kasilof River. The property was settled in about 1890 by Victor Holm, who built a rough log cabin on the property then, and later a more refined log structure in 1915. He also built a wellhouse, outhouse, and food storage cache that have survived.[2] His original cabin was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Victor Holm Cabin in 1977;[3] this cabin was moved away from an eroding bluff in 2011 by the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust. The property is now owned by the Kachemak Regional Historic Association.[4]

The entire property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[1][5]
