About This Home

Just 20 minutes north of Hilo, this nearly 7.5-acre off-grid sanctuary in Hakalau offers a rare opportunity to embrace the beauty, history, & sustainability of Hawaiʻi. With sweeping ocean views, year-round stream frontage, abundant food-producing plants, & a beautifully restored historic home, this remarkable property is truly one of a kind. The land is a testament to thoughtful stewardship, with an impressive array of fruit trees (over 200 planted). Toward the rear of the property, you’ll find five large tilapia ponds, teeming with fish and contributing to the property’s self-sufficiency. Adding to the peaceful ambiance, the Ka‘ahakini Stream flows year-round along the northern boundary, bringing with it the soothing sounds of nature. Also, a seasonal stream can be found when the rains are high, dancing through the lava tube in the middle of the property. At the heart of the estate stands a plantation-style home which has been lovingly restored & maintained. The home features soaring 11-foot ceilings that invite natural light & cooling trade winds throughout the living spaces. Original architectural details, including vintage doors, have been preserved to honor the home's rich heritage while providing modern comfort. Beneath the main living area, a spacious covered area offers versatile functionality, including storage, workshop space, laundry facilities, parking, & an outdoor shower—perfect after a day spent gardening, caring for animals, or enjoying the property's natural surroundings. Additionally included is a chicken coop, pig pen, & multiple paddocks suitable for livestock. Whether you're looking for a serene retreat, a sustainable lifestyle, or a piece of Hawaiian history, this exceptional property delivers it all.
