Tucked deep within a native ʻōhiʻa forest, this fully permitted off-grid “glass house” offers 20 private acres of peace, sustainability, and comfort. If you’re looking for acreage, privacy, and a quiet sanctuary away from the noise of the world, this is the one. Custom built with intention and high-quality materials, this one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in natural light and lush green views from every room. Both bedrooms are spacious primary suites. One with a 6-foot jetted tub and shower, the other with a sunken oversized jacuzzi; creating a retreat-like feel. Framing and siding are Canadian Red Cedar, reinforced concrete foundation was poured over 26” 3200-lb. pre-stress steel, and a 14-gauge steel roof was installed with plywood sheeting, felt paper, and battens. Hurricane-resistant windows cost $5,500 each, and the doors are oriel-vaulted aluminum with armor-clad vinyl. Tile floors throughout and hardwood kitchen cabinetry add practical durability and timeless appeal. The property runs fully off-grid with a 2000-watt solar system, 2 generators, storage batteries, and a 10,000-gallon water catchment system. Additional structures include a 20’x24’ greenhouse and an 11’x11’ solar/generator house. High-speed internet is available through Starlink, perfect for remote work, streaming, or video calls. Landscaped for beauty and privacy, the home is hidden from the road with a long private driveway. Located approx. 30–35 minutes from both Hilo and Volcano National Park, this is your opportunity to live immersed in nature with all the modern comforts. SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!
