Description

Where can you find Old Hawai'i? On the East side, 5.27 palm studded acres set against the backdrop of a black lava coastline dotted with tide pools. This secluded Keonepoko Iki Farm Lots property is close to shopping and schools, yet feels a million miles away the moment you enter the long tree covered drive. Includes a two story, single wall, cedar open beam ranch style house. Rare opportunity to purchase in a conservation area where whales cavort in the ocean, visible from your second floor deck....Where can you find Old Hawai'i? On the East side, 5.27 palm studded acres set against the backdrop of a black lava coastline dotted with tide pools. This secluded Keonepoko Iki Farm Lots property is close to shopping and schools, yet feels a million miles away the moment you enter the long tree covered drive. Includes a two story, single wall, cedar open beam ranch style house. Rare opportunity to purchase in a conservation area where whales cavort in the ocean, visible from your second floor deck. Wander from the front yard picnic table down a winding path close to where a vintage rock wall nestles between the house and the ocean. Sit with only the sound of the waves crashing against the shore -- a view of Hilo to your left and a view of the coastline to the right, and in front, deep ocean as far as you can see. View of the ocean from the deck, picture windows throughout. Large catchment, full utility shed, cindered entry and landscaped path to the ocean. Solar panels when built, but electric is now available for purchase. Ranch style two story freshly painted home is permitted as one story 2 BR/1B of 444 square feet, but has been completed with an additional 394 square foot enclosed floor level living/dining/sitting room, kitchen and bathroom. An open space floor plan sleeps four upstairs, and has a large walk in closet area as well as an office area looking out on the secluded forest side of the property. New sliding windows and doors throughout, new siding, deck and stair railings. The area is out of sight along the waterfront off of Hawaiian Beaches, one tenth of a mile down a dirt road, with another spectacular one tenth of a mile of driveway before you enter the circular drive and picnic area. You see the dramatic deep blue of the ocean from the upstairs palm fringed deck, see it from your own pathway leading from the coconut palm and Norfolk Pine framed picnic area, and hear the gentle roar of the Pacific Ocean everywhere around you. Photos!
