Conveniently located in the heart of Mountain View right on Volcano Rd (Hwy 11), this charming home on COUNTY WATER offers endless potential on nearly half an acre of usable land. Rich in character, the home features original hardwood floors ready to be brought back to life, classic large sliding glass windows, and a spacious layout with a large enclosed unfinished lower level with a full bathroom perfect for additional living space, a workshop, hobby area, or future renovation. The property includes both an attached two-car garage and an additional detached garage, providing ample room for storage, vehicles, tools, or recreational equipment. Area to the rear & side of home which was a former anthurium flower farm, has generous outdoor spaces offering opportunities for gardening, entertaining, or creating possible additional expansion. Adding even more value being zoned RS-20, Hawaiʻi County’s recently passed Bill 123 has expanded opportunities for the addition of up to three(3) Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), creating exciting potential for additional living spaces or multigenerational living, subject to county requirements and permitting (please confirm with County). Conveniently located right near Mt. View Elementary School, this property also places you within easy walking distance of local food options, gas, and convenience shopping. Enjoy country living with everyday conveniences nearby, while Hilo and its beaches, shopping, restaurants, airport, and medical facilities are only a short drive away. Electrical & plumbing upgrades were made in 2003 and new roof & gutters in 2011. So whether you are looking for a renovation project, investment opportunity, or a place to create your dream home or have multiple dwellings, this property is full of potential and ready for your vision.
Glenwood, located between Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the Puna District, is a rural and forested Mountain View neighborhood with a rainforest canopy and lava-shaped terrain. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Volcano Highway (HI-11) near the Mountain View Bakery, where roadside farm stands, plate-lunch counters, and small local shops set an unhurried rhythm. The Mountain View Bakery, the Volcano Art Center (nearby in Volcano Village), and the Cooper Center anchor local culture with food, art, and community gatherings. Homes tend toward plantation-era cottages and newer single-family builds tucked behind greenery. Daily life follows the weather—misty mornings, bright breaks, and deep-green afternoons. Trails, gardens, and wide shoulders frame a landscape defined by ʻōhiʻa and ferns.
