The Pagoda House is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath beautiful, traditional Hawai'ian screen home with a lovely private pool and large tropical garden overlooking Kealakekua Bay Marine Sanctuary -- some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawai'i and a protected spinner dolphin habitat. The home's open-air design makes it feel like living in an oceanside treehouse — filled with the sound of waves and birdsong. This almost-ocean front traditional Hawaiian-style home is just across a one-lane road from Kealakekua Bay Marine Sanctuary. It has been renovated 'just enough' to make it comfortable, stylish and convenient -- with quality appliances and kitchen equipment -- but without losing any of its laid-back kama'aina (local) beach house charm. Pagoda House's layout makes it the perfect vacation home for extended family - it has two ocean-facing master bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathroom, and two additional garden-view bedrooms that share a bathroom. The upstairs master bedroom, bath and private sitting area cover the entire top floor of the home and it has stunning ocean and cliff views. The upstairs master shower overlooks the backyard and a giant monkeypod tree. The home is entirely surrounded by a large, mature and beautifully-manicured tropical garden. Depending on the season, fresh starfruit, mango, passionfruit or bananas hang from the vines and trees. There is plenty of parking in the carport and plenty of storage for kayaks, surfboards and more in a storeroom adjacent to the carport. Pagoda House is located across the street and down three lots from the Napo'opo'o wharf where kayak companies typically launch. Kealakekua Bay State Historic Park is only a few minutes walk away, as is charming Manini Beach Park. Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Park, local favorite snorkel spot "Two Step," the Painted Church, Big Island Bees, and Kona coffee farms / tours are all within 8-10 minutes drive. The home is 12 miles from Kailua-Kona and 85 miles from Volcanoes National Park. Serious inquiries only. Buyer must cooperate with seller's 1031 exchange and do their own due diligence regarding lava zone, invasive species, zoning rules, etc. Seller makes no representation and warranties. Please do not disturb tenants. Showings by appointment only. UPDATE: Will pay 2% commission to buyer's agent. Several potential buyers in the mix (some with agent, some not).
