The architect carefully designed the original custom-built 1/1 home to follow the contours of the land. This home has a kitchen, office space, living room, bedroom & bathroom. The toilet is located in a separate "water closet" with a door that opens onto the west deck. There are two custom-built nooks, each one designed to fit a full size bed. Two doorways are Torii, which are traditional Japanese gates. Several of the light fixtures are vintage Punalu'u Restaurant treasures. The lanais face the four cardinal directions & the moon/star gazing from the south lanai is fantastic!
The second structure is a 24 ft yurt, which was built a few years ago, with large sturdy concrete foundation piers. The yurt has a living roof over the level wheelchair accessible walkway. The interior has ohia transfer bars & ohia counters. Bathroom has a cedar wall for privacy. Both homes come partially furnished. There is a chicken coop under construction.
The property comes with its own paid water meter - currently the property utilizes a shared water line. Circular driveway for easy ingress/egress. Lava Zone 6, Flood Zone X. All structures were built without permits.
The first Polynesians landed at nearby Kealekekau Bay, meaning "the god's pathway", nearly 1500 years ago. Nearby is the old plantation town of Na'alehu, where you'll find good restaurants, gas station, a post office & award-winning Ka'u coffee shops. This area is halfway between Kailua-Kona & Hilo.
