This Hawi, North Kohala home on 20 acres has privacy, unobstructed ocean and Maui views, on- and off-grid options, and a modern open design for indoor-outdoor living. A long unpaved driveway lined with rainbow eucalyptus trees leads to the detached garage and home. On the ocean side are multiple fenced grassy paddocks, where goats and horses currently graze enjoying their view.The first owner of the parcel built a one-bedroom Maui-view "bunk house" for his planned gentleman ranch. The current owners increased the living area with a large master bedroom suite and an enclosed lanai running along the ocean side of the property. They added a propane generator that can power the house for two weeks in the event of a sustained power outage, and drilled a well with a UV water filtration system to supplement or replace County water for both household and irrigation use. With two water sources, you could farm as well as ranch, and there is plenty of room to add an arena or horse barn if desired.Designed with an open floor plan both inside and out, the home has a relaxed country feel with easy-care finishes and a modern sensibility. Both bedrooms and living areas are oriented to provide a connection, visually and physically, to the outdoors. You will likely use the enclosed lanai for dining and lounging most of the time. At the touch of a remote control, hurricane shades drop to protect from sun, wind or rain. The indoor living room currently serves as a media room and office.To the west, the lot dips into a steep gulch for privacy on that side. There are restrictive covenants with the adjacent smaller lot on the north to protect your views and privacy. Located on a private road, you enjoy pedestrian public access to and along the shoreline from Uli Road. You are an hour from the Kona airport.The town of Hawi is only a mile away with services, restaurants, boutiques and a Saturday farmers market.
