About this listing

This magical cabin-style retreat on the road to Keokea Park in North Kohala is a unique opportunity in a special old Hawaii neighborhood where homes rarely come on the market. Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and perched above a gulch with seasonal stream where historic taro patches are planned for restoration, a large deck links the main home with detached guest quarters. Both spaces feature large covered lanai where you can eat, lounge, and basically live outdoors. The two-bedroom cedar home was finished with luxurious woods throughout the interior, creating a sense of integrity with its environment. Eight different woods pattern the floors. Tongue and groove solidity, cathedral ceilings, and plenty of light give the home a feeling of spaciousness despite its small footprint. Cabinets of African mahogany, koa, maple and red gum eucalyptus grace the artistically designed kitchen. Stainless appliances include a six-burner ZLINE range. The two bedrooms in the main home share a bath. An office nook off the primary bedroom also opens to the lanai. Beneath the home is a lockable plumbed space for your projects or additional storage, next to the laundry area. The detached guest room has its own lanai with BBQ and dining area to enjoy quiet morning coffee. Carefully landscaped with native plants, palms, fruit trees and vibrant flowers that give a sense of being alone in the world...yet the property is a short drive from the charming towns of Kapaau and Hawi. Keokea Park is walking distance. Local families enjoy gathering there for picnics and watching for whales in season. Rich soil, just enough rain, and wind-protected gulches made this area the breadbasket of Kohala. Become part of neighborhood efforts to restore historic loʻi kalo (taro patches) and produce more of our food locally. If you dream of a sustainable lifestyle with a small footprint, this could be your spot. Just show up and let your stress melt away.
