This hidden treasure at 1,350’ elevation offers everything you want & need. 4 miles from Hilo Town, but a million miles from everything. Plenty of room to raise livestock & capitalize on the deep, rich Hamakua soil (several varieties of fruit trees, cacao & coffee already established). Lava Zone 8, with sunrise ocean views from the lanai running the whole makai said of the house. No big electric bills, due to the 30 solar panels (est. 2019) with state-of-the-art Blue Ion batteries. Still grid tied & NET metered, so you can sell excess back to the grid! Water supplied by mother nature in the form of a large catchment tank, with pumps & filters in a nice large walk in wooden shed. Across from the carport is a beautiful, Steelmaster™ barn, built in 2019 on a concrete foundation with covered lanai, perfect for livestock, & a 20’ container w/ bathroom (wired & plumbed, but not hooked up). With 2/3rds of the property fully fenced, complete with solar-powered automatic access gate from the road, you could leave the back 1/3rd unfenced, plant an orchard, graze livestock, or simply create a zen garden in the center of the waiwi (strawberry guava) grove at the bottom of the hill. Once you enter the home through the french doors, you’ll be awed by the ocean views & cool trade wind breezes. Always at least 5 degrees cooler than down the hill, you’ll want to spend your time enjoying the generously-sized lanai, accessible via sliding glass doors from the great room, master & 1 guest room. The split floor plan has the master suite with cedar-lined walk-in closet & en-suite with 2 vanities, jetted tub & travertine tiled shower on one side of the house, as well as the laundry room & attic access. On the opposite side are 2 guest suites, vaulted ceilings w/ large closets, v & a full bath. In the center of the house is the great room, with ample space for dining & entertaining, kitchen w/ smudge proof stainless appliances. Post & pier construction of the house w/ plenty of dry storage
