Discover a rare 1.58-acre North Kohala retreat featuring a unique 2-bedroom, 1-bath plantation home surrounded by mature landscaping, ocean proximity, and exceptional privacy. Located just minutes past Hawi and Kapaau, this property offers a peaceful lifestyle close to one of the island's most dramatic natural coastlines, owned by the County of Hawai'i as open space and accessible to the public.

The living area, kitchen, bathroom, and primary bedroom have been recently remodeled while maintaining the home's plantation character. The living room features new antimicrobial carpet, steady cooling trade winds, and peekaboo ocean views. The property surrounding the home and overlooking the gulch is fully fenced, providing security and defined outdoor living space. The home is connected to county water, and the owners currently use Starlink internet; Hawaiian Telcom fiber optic is also available.

A large front lanai offers ideal outdoor areas for relaxation, gathering, and enjoying mountain and garden views. A detached garage and workshop with a viewing platform above provides ocean, mountain, and sunset views and presents an excellent opportunity for restoration.

The property includes mature monkeypod, lychee, and avocado trees among a variety of tropical plantings including coffee, soursop, ulu, and bananas. A natural path leads into the gulch where a seasonal stream and cleared flat area offer potential for gardening or orchard use, with the property extending across the gulch.

A custom built outdoor cement soaking tub located on the back lanai creates a serene, private space surrounded by nature.

Historic coastal trails and Kapanaia Bay are just minutes away, accessible on foot or by Polaris UTV, which may be included in the sale. Enjoy the sounds of the birds, wind, and ocean with minimal human noise. This property offers privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the land while still close to local shops, dining, and amenities.
