Exotic in Pure Natives
No one is going to fault anyone for loving exotic plants or growing them in your yard. After all, almost everything grows to extreme size and beauty on the Big Island…which makes what this property has to offer, according to the seller, rather exceptional…all native species. With great care, all exotics (aka, invasive species) were removed from the grounds on both lots to make room for the native plants to thrive. And, boy howdy, have they! If you love the grandeur of the hapuʻu (tree-fern) and the firey lehua blossoms of Hawaii’s towering, “ugly” ʻōhiʻa, then your own yard will be a wilderness wonderland to you.
Oh! Theʻōhiʻa tree is not ugly. In fact, it’s a beautiful, tall, silvery-leafed wonder of nature. The origin story of the “twisted, ugly tree” and its lehua flower are an important part of Hawaiian mythology.

The Perch
A tiny bedroom that could also function as an accessory room to an Owner’s Hall, the puka is a well-lit room on the top floor that was most recently useds as a media room and felt to us like an ideal size & location for a nursery.

The Flex Suite
Accessible only from the lower lanai and garage, this suite (a room with a 3-pc. bath) was initially intended to house a home health care provider; it never did. Instead it’s functioned as a home office/guest suite. Given its location within, yet physical separation from, the whole home, it would also make a nice suite for an au pair, groundskeeper, live-at-home student, craft room, home gym, or s/he shed. What will you do with it?

Circadian Living
Walls of picture windows say, “Rise and set with the sun, friend. It’s how you’re hardwired.”




Automation
Keypad controlled garage door opener means no more making copies of keys…or losing them.




'tis the Sea-Sun
Winter in Hawaii isn’t normally a Norman Rockwell painting…but here, it can be.




Koa
Not the campground, the hardwood. It’s expensive so it’s rarely seen in home construction. Thanks to McCandless Ranch, it’s everywhere here.




Playcreage
Play + acreage = playcreage. OK, so, technically, both lots combined is just over ½ an acre. So, not acreage, but still lots o’ play space.




Plug-n-Play
Think housework is drudgery? Not when you don’t have to lug a vacuum cleaner up and down stairs.




Central Vacuuming
Never again forget to buy vacuum bags. Just order them online from Central Vac Intl.®




Bidets
Brondell® Swash™ & Toto® bidet-enabled washlets means no worries about TP horders.




Top-Shelf Appliances
Bosch® – LG® – Haier® – these brands need no introduction but from small to large appliances, you’ll find them here.




In & out & in
Off the driveway, into the home, down the hall, & back out onto the back lanai, these paving tiles are both beautiful and slip-minimizing.




Gazebo by day
Build on a cement slab in Lot #2 (see below), this gazebo looks fit to hold a gas grill, hot tub…really…you name it.




or night.
Hawaiian summer evenings are reserved to pau hana with friends and family. Do it late into the night, rain or shine.




Future-proofed
At the time of construction, the stairwell was reinforced to support a chair lift should one ever be needed by a resident.




Extra Space
This shed easily houses 2 riding lawn mowers and more tools and toys than you can shake a stick at, currently.




Recirculation
Recirculated hot water provides almost instant hot water at any distance from the water heater.




Feel Safe
Everyone and everything are guarded by Alert Alarm® & 5-6 internet cameras. Everything is monitored from a smart phone.




70-yr Metal Roof
This well-maintained, metal roof is preferred for PV installation, should you decide to unplug from the grid one day.




Cedar
Rot- & pest-resistant cedar is a most durable softwood, offering excellent noise abatement, insulation, and longevity.




Shou sugi ban
Shou sugi ban makes for stunning dark grain in the wood and a gorgeous contrast to the daylight bursting thru windows.




We Have Fire!
Currently fit with a gas log lighter, this fireplace could be easily converted to a gas fireplace.




20,000 gallons
That is enough water to sustain a typical 4-person home for over 55 days! And nature refills it as often as nightly.




Sterilight® UV
Fully-potable catchment water thanks to double filtration and UV sterilization by Sterilite®.




It's electric!
Everything except the kitchen stove and hot water heater are electric. Now you’re cooking with gas!




Soft, warm, & lovely
Ceiling accents matter and you will find the gentle, warming hues of wood ceilings accenting just the right amount of this home.




Propane
It burns cleanly, heats air and water faster & cheaper over short bursts than electricity, PLUS, it meets EPA clean air standards.

BOGO?
Really stretch your legs. Take long walks without leaving your land. Build a second home.
Would you like to own double the 12,000+ square feet of land on which this home sits? Say perhaps a lot of the same size that abuts your property? Here’s a bogo that isn’t often, and won’t forever be available to you. As the buyer of this home, you’ll have the first right of refusal to purchase the lot next door for an additional $60K. That’s right, buy one for $649K and get one for $60K…BOGO.
The seller has decided that the second lot will not be sold until the home buyer has a chance to buy it first. Of course, after that, all bets are off but until then it’s yours for little more than a song. It is the twin to the lot on which this home sits at 12,856sf of native plants & trees. It has a small slab poured upon which is built a gazebo large enough to host bbqs, hold a hot tub, or do with whatever you like.
It’s certainly something to consider if you’re looking to get a little space from The Joneses.
