Private. 
Sustainable. 
Authentic Hawai'i
Located between two streams - surrounded by forest and conservation land, ocean views, waterfalls, and abundant fruit trees - this secluded historic property on the Big Island's Hamakua Coast is only a 10 minute drive to Hilo's International Airport (ITO). Offering the wonders of natural Hawai'i and a recorded history that goes back to at least 1917, when Hawai'i was still a Territory.
The photovoltaic system powers over 5,000+ square feet of a combined 6 bed/3 bath (plus 2 half baths and an outdoor shower), 2 structure property, with a large in-ground pool, hot tub, and 3,000-gallon koi pond. There is room to expand, and plenty of space to entertain family and friends, even host events.
Experience brilliant morning sunrises, connect with the ʻāina (land), feel the peace and serenity as if you're a million miles from nowhere while having all the modern conveniences of a short drive to Hilo town.
