HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! Price reduced aggressively for a quick, as-is sale! Ocean-view 6-bedroom Hilo property with permitted attached ohana, multi-suite layout, and flexible income potential. Positioned above Hilo Bay, 16 Haaheo Rd offers expansive Hilo bay views from multiple rooms and lanais. The 6-bedroom, 4.5 bath configuration includes a primary suite with ocean-facing lanai and ensuite bath, plus a lower level featuring an additional suite and multiple bedrooms designed to accommodate extended living or rental arrangements. The attached ohana unit is permitted and includes a separate entrance, enhancing flexibility for multi-generational occupancy or income use. Previously operated as a licensed care home, the property’s bedroom count, multiple bathrooms, and accessibility-oriented layout provide a strong foundation for reactivation of care home use or conversion to hosted rental or bed-and-breakfast operation, subject to buyer verification of applicable requirements. Outdoor living areas include a covered lanai with kitchenette and established producing trees including avocado, rambutan, citrus, coconut, and calamansi. A structural engineer’s report addressing a compromised foundation and outlining recommended repair is available to prospective buyers who provide proof of ability to purchase. The repair scope has been evaluated. The key finding is that no major structural reconstruction is recommended. The prescribed remediation is focused on site regrading and improved water diversion, rather than significant foundation replacement/repair. Due to foundation condition, certain financing options may be limited. Property is sold as-is. Conveniently located within close proximity to downtown Hilo, the Hilo Farmers Market, medical facilities, shopping, Honoliʻi Beach Park, and more.

Halepuna Ahupua`a, located between Wainaku Street and the Hilo Bay shoreline, is a coastal and residential Wainaku neighborhood with ocean-facing breezes and a lush, rain-fed landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wainaku Street corridor near the Hilo Bayfront, where small local eateries, service storefronts, and everyday errands set a steady, working rhythm. Housing reads as practical island homes—single-wall cottages and mid-century builds—set among palms, hedges, and lava-rock walls. Mauka views rise quickly toward Mauna Kea’s slopes, while makai routes lead to shoreline parks and canoe paddling. Nearby cultural anchors such as the Palace Theater, East Hawaii Cultural Center, and Hilo Farmers Market add an arts-and-food pulse without changing the area’s grounded feel.
