Looking for the ideal property to call home? Does the pandemic have you rethinking what a home should be? This house, on a lushly landscaped one-acre parcel in Hawaiian Paradise Park may be the end to your search; it is located on a quiet, paved road in the middle of the subdivision. Peaceful. Private. Remote. But not too remote, Hawaiian Paradise Park is only ten minutes away from the local conveniences of both Pahoa and Keaau towns - post offices, shopping, restaurants, and emergency services. Still want to have that connection to the rest of the world? Hawaiian Paradise Park is less than 30 minutes from the town of Hilo and the Hilo International Airport.This custom home sets the standard for livability; the property offers the opportunity to be self-sufficient: there is enough rainfall for the catchment water system; and enough sunshine for food cultivation. In fact, this property supported nursery operations at one time; the additional irrigation catchment tank still remains with some of the miscellaneous supplies and tropical plants including loquat, white sopoti, green sopoti, black sopoti, avocado, lucuma, achacha, croton, several varieties of palms, and much more. If thatâs not enough, you will certainly appreciate the semi-circular driveway, lava rock walls, and swimming pool.The floor plan and size of the home offer a flexibility that is hard to match. The ownerâs bedroom in the back at one corner of the house and has its own lanai to assure privacy. The second bedroom is located on the opposite back corner of the house, also for privacy. Between the two bedrooms, there is a spacious open living area with high ceilings, a gourmet kitchen, an office, and a covered lanai that opens to the pool deck. The Family Room wing lives like a second suite: it has a ¾ bath, large closet, a (bonus) kitchen, and a separate entry - giving the suite direct access to the exterior and a measure of additional independence.
