Privately situated cottage on a forested 20-acre parcel, this property is the ultimate in seclusion and sustainability! The unpermitted dwelling is well-built and features a full-sized kitchen and dining area on the ground level, and a studio living area with full bathroom on the upper level. The entire property is powered by a 48-volt PV system with nine 250-watt rooftop panels and a backup Honda generator. Enjoy the treetop view overlooking the front lawn while quietly sipping your morning coffee on the 6'x20' covered upper lanai, then invite some friends over for a get-together on the 12'x20' rear lower level lanai. The elevation and weather make this an ideal location for growing a huge variety of edibles, and maturing fruit trees abound: papaya, guava, lilikoi, lychee, mountain apple, citrus such as lemon, lime, orange, tangerine, breadfruit, jackfruit, jaboticaba, mulberry, and multiple varieties of avocado and banana.
