Opportunity in Pāhoa on approximately half an acre! This fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath, permitted home offers 1,208 square feet of living space on a fairly level, fully fenced half acre lot surrounded by a lush tropical landscape. Adding even more versatility is a detached 232-square-foot building currently used as an office, providing additional space with possibilities for a studio, hobby room, workshop, storage, or other uses. The property features an established tropical landscape with mature avocado trees, banana, citrus and coconut, along with sweet potato, giving you a head start on enjoying homegrown food right from the property. Built in 1951, the main home offers plenty of character along with an opportunity for a new owner to make it their own. The half-acre setting provides room for gardening, pets, outdoor living, and enjoying the privacy and space that this property offers. Practical features include all furnishings, tools, county water, solar/photovoltaic power(leased/pre-paid) with overhead electric, covered parking, paved-road access, and no CC & Rs. For buyers looking for a compellingly priced Big Island property with land, additional usable space, and established food-producing plants, this property offers plenty of potential. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, Hawaiʻi getaway, or a property to personalize over time, this one is worth a closer look. Property is located in Lava Zone 1.
Kapoho, located between Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone and the Cape Kumukahi coastline, is a rural and coastal Nanawale Estates neighborhood with lava-shaped terrain and oceanfront horizons. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kapoho-Kalapana Road corridor, where roadside fruit stands, mailboxes, and wide lava fields set a quiet, elemental tone. Homes tend toward low-slung island cottages and practical single-story builds designed for trade winds and outdoor living. The landscape reads as black rock, ʻōhiʻa, and pockets of tropical growth, with long views that shift from steam to sea. Days revolve around shoreline walks, tidepools, and the rhythms of a remote corner of Puna.

Idyllic property! This is about as close to the simplicity of old Hawaii as you will ever find! This home has been lovingly restored and enhanced with a few additional touches including a sunny sitting room area which leads to an oversized deck. This rear lanai offers a great view of the botanical garden that the owners have crafted into a private retreat. There’s a cute guest cottage with lanai and electricity tucked sweetly among the plantings but within reach of the main dwelling. For those seeking a unique Hawaii retreat or botanical get-away, this may be the one. There’s even a great workshop under the home. Not many homes ever hit the market in the area. Don’t miss your chance on this one!
