Tucked away from residential areas and nestled near local farms, this 6.56-acre off-grid oasis in Mountain View, Big Island, offers unmatched privacy and endless possibilities for your dream retreat, homestead, or private escape. Featuring a professionally installed yurt (just over 2 years old) with high ceilings and a skylight, this property is a blank canvas ready for your vision. The expansive, covered lanai is perfect for an outdoor living space, or gathering area, all while surrounded by the serenity of nature and breathtaking starry skies. This secluded sanctuary provides rare gigabit internet and Wi-Fi 6E via an underground fiber-optic connection, making it ideal for remote workers or digital nomads seeking paradise. It’s equipped for sustainable living with 3 lithium batteries for solar power, a new 10,000-gallon water catchment system, an 85-gallon tank, and a UV filtration pump for self-sufficient living. The land is fertile with existing hibiscus, lemon, cherry trees, pineapples, and Hawaiian raspberries, and the elevation is perfect for growing strawberries, blueberries, and more. Pre-installed plumbing and electrical tubing are ready for a potential bathroom and laundry room, with the green friendly option of a compost bathroom system. Enjoy the privacy of 6+ acres, just a short drive off Steinback Highway, with Keaau 15 minutes away and Hilo Airport approximately 30 minutes away. Surrounded by farms, the fertile land and elevation make this perfect for year-round farming and sustainable living. The current owners have lovingly prepared this property but must part with it—your gain! With the yurt’s beautiful stained and fire-sealed wood flooring, a sturdy foundation, and modern infrastructure in place, you can bring your vision to life. The seclusion, privacy, and proximity to farms make this a rare opportunity to create your ideal off-grid lifestyle on the Big Island. The yurt is in great condition, offering an open and inviting atmosphere.
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.
