Imagine waking each morning surrounded by lush tropical gardens, harvesting fresh fruit from your own backyard, and ending the day beneath a canopy of brilliant Hawaiian stars. This rare offering in Nanawale Estates includes two fenced and gated parcels (TMKs 3-1-4-50-73 and 3-1-4-50-74), creating a private sanctuary filled with beauty, abundance, and room to breathe. Lovingly built and meticulously cared for, the furnished 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers 1,048 sq ft of warm, inviting living space designed to embrace Hawaii's indoor-outdoor lifestyle. French doors open from the living room to an expansive 400 sq ft covered lanai, where morning coffee, afternoon breezes, and evenings overlooking the gardens become part of everyday life. A 300 sq ft dry storage room provides possibilities for a workshop, art studio, hobby room, or home office, while the covered two-car carport and sheltered walkway offer convenience in every season. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the soaring 14' tongue-and-groove open beam ceilings that fill the home with light and an airy sense of space. Large windows frame colorful garden views from nearly every room, while warm oak hardwood flooring and birch wainscoting add timeless character. The open kitchen is both inviting and functional, featuring quartzite countertops, custom terra cotta tile flooring, and a movable island perfect for gathering with family and friends. Outside, more than 30 producing fruit trees (see attached Fruit Tree List) are complemented by an incredible collection of tropical ornamentals, creating a landscape that is as beautiful as it is productive. Recent painting includes 2022 interior, exterior paint in 2025, deck in 2026, and roof in 2025. Seller's furnishings are included. With county water, grid power, and high-speed internet, and just five minutes from Pahoa Village, shopping, restaurants, schools, banking, and everyday amenities, yet nestled in your own tropical paradise!
