Selling or Buying in Papaikou?
Description
In the sleepy North Hilo town of Papaikou, along Onomea Bay Scenic Drive is a treasure hard to come by. There is an almost certain draw to owning a piece of the Big Island’s sugarcane planation history and homes like this don’t come along very often. Nestled at the top of a stream bed, near the end of a shared driveway, sit two plantation homes on almost a half acre lot, affording an ideal opportunity to a conscienceless buyer interested in preserving the eras history while providing enough space for living or investment.

The main home has been lovingly cared for by the original owners for many years. A well-lived in home with just over 1500 sqft of living space, it offers sturdy redwood walls, original hardwood floors, large picture windows, jalousies for cool airflow and a covered lanai with peek-a-boo views of the distant blue Pacific Ocean. With features that include 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, a small nook off the main bedroom and an extra large living room, the options are many! The addition of a large dining space, functional kitchen and indoor laundry area complete the home. Sliders provide access to a large covered outdoor space for gathering, working or entertaining. Built in typical plantation style fashion, for the handyman/woman, there are two separate covered workshop spaces attached to the home and ample storage under the home for tools or gadgets.

The smaller home is a gem - 864 sqft of original everything - looking for the right buyer to restore to it's original glory! The home is a fixer and has been vacant for many years but boasts 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bath, original hardwood floors, large picture windows, peek-a-boo ocean views, ample storage under the home and a convenient washroom out back for easy clean-up.

A large 3-4 car carport is shared by both homes. The lot is gated and partially fenced and offers lush green space behind homes for your enjoyment.

Take the scenic drive home! E komo mai!
