Imagine having the privacy of 2.73 acres of old growth Hawaiian Forest, and the convenience of being 5 minutes from Prince Kuhio Plaza?

This amazing property fits the bill, with a 1963 Redwood, single wall, Kama'aina home nestled on 2.73 acres of lush untouched forest with a paved driveway that leads out to Makalika St., in desirable Panaewa. Giant Ohia, avocado, mango trees, grace the skyline, while torch ginger, ti leaf, hapuu ferns, and flowers too numerous to list adorn the property. Once you've driven down the 200 foot driveway and approach the home, you can leave the stresses of the world behind, and step back into historic Hawaii Nei, with sublime privacy in this old growth Kipuka.

The home itself is well built, with a newer roof (replaced in 2015), has original hardwood floors along with a sliding shoji door to separate the bright living room from the two bedrooms and the full interior bathroom. There is also a second full bathroom in the carport, along with a laundry area. The kitchen is open to the living room, it is a very functional design, however the home does need some updating and repair in the bathroom. Offering all the amenities of town living, with electricity, county water, cable, mail delivery and paved roads, with a country feel.

A botanical garden awaits, come and view this magical piece of property in Hilo.
