This original-owner seven acre property nestles at the end of a road a short walk to Hawi, grocery stores, post office, library, elementary and high schools. It’s quiet and serene, and zoned agricultural with fenced pastures. At the perfect elevation, the home requires neither air conditioning nor heat. It makes the best use of the ventilation provided by trade winds. This is enhanced by spacious raised cedar ceilings in each room. An addition was built in 2009. It now consists of three bedrooms, two offices (which can be converted into bedrooms), an exercise room, upgraded kitchen and 2/12 baths. Most of the rooms have bamboo flooring. The upstairs master bedroom includes a walk-in closet, full bath, and a deck from which you can look over the orchard and watch the windmill dance in the trades and pump electricity into the grid. From the upstairs office you can see the ocean through a vista of trees. On the main level you’ll enjoy your morning coffee on the porch off the dining room and watch the sunset from the lanai. The three-vehicle garage includes a work bench, shelving, and space to store landscaping, agricultural, and gardening supplies and equipment. Between the gate and the house a tree house nestles in a Formosa koa, a perfect spot to cozy up with a book or take a siesta while listening to the wind sing through coconut palms. Electricity is provided by wind and solar powers. A solar water heater ensures there will always be a warm shower or bath waiting when you return home from a day at the beach. Close to the house, a 240 square foot outbuilding, supplied with water and electricity, contains a 50 square foot walk-in cooler. Start the day off with birdsong and a soak in the upscale hot tub, and as dusk falls, relax in the infrared sauna. In between there will be lots to enjoy on the property, including the Waipiele gulch. Your private space is a great jumping off point to immerse yourself in the Kohala community and explore the rest of the island.
