About This Home

Located on a manicured three acre parcel in Volcano Village, this stunning estate blends classic Craftsman Style with Japanese-inspired design.

The driveway meanders through expansive lawns, mature landscaping, and native forest. A heavy mist on a chilly Volcano morning and echoing native bird songs among gigantic Hapu’u Tree Ferns make you feel like you’ve gone back in time.

 Tucked at the back of the property, the home effortlessly blends with its surroundings. You are welcomed by a custom-built lanai and a sliding shoji screen door, leading to an alcove for removing your shoes. One of the owners is a retired architect and woodworker, well known for his meticulous attention to detail, and his touch is evident throughout the home. Entering the front lanai, you are welcomed by soaring ceilings, warm wood finishes, and a massive fireplace. The elegant and open kitchen has elements of mid-century modern design, and is well equipped for gatherings large and small.

Adjoining the kitchen, you will find a large dining room and second living room with another fireplace, upgraded to a modern gas stove. A cozy guest bedroom with built-in library connects to a full bath. The primary bedroom has floor to ceiling windows facing the forest, and an ensuite bath complete with a sitting area and vintage furo-style tub and shower. Connected to the main house, a studio unit with ensuite bath and a kitchenette is currently being used as a separate rental, but could easily be converted back into a third bedroom. Behind the main home, there is a permitted 800 square foot one bedroom, one bath cottage complete with a full kitchen and large covered lanai. Possible subdivision potential due to RS-20 zoning classification.

Just a few blocks away from the newly opened Lanikai Brewery, and a five minute drive from miles of hiking trails and opportunities for outdoor recreation at Volcano National Park, this one-of-a-kind estate is not to be missed.
