Truly, one of a kind, permitted, and very well built "off-grid" Craftsman's beach Cottage with 2 additional bedroom cottages on a secluded corner lot. This property sits at the end of a private, graded dirt road in a quiet neighborhood just off of the highly sought after and scenic, "red road"! This coastal location is just 10 miles (15 minutes) to the nearest town of Pahoa with services, restaurants and shopping, and 45 minutes to charming Hilo town for more shopping, the airport, big box stores and more!2 miles to Pohoiki Hot Springs and black sands beach, 3 miles to Kehena black sand beach, and 7 miles to the famous Kalapana Night Market!

This hand-built home, (literally no power tools) was built from ground up by a master woodworker with many extra built-in details! There is a kitchen with beautiful countertops, a bathroom with a walk-through shower, and a turquoise slate flooring that beautifies the living area. This unique residence has an upstairs loft and 2 additional but separate cottages that can be used as a wellness/yoga space, office, guest quarters or bedrooms. It's just 1,000 feet from the ocean where you can walk to the sandy tide pools for splashing, cooling off and being at the ocean's edge for excellent fishing! You can even hear the breaching whales from your lanai!

Forage and garden here where the soil is rich! The original owner planted a variety of 19 avocado trees so that there is fruit year round! There are also Meyer lemons, Tahitian limes, and two different grafted mangoes, two Ruby grapefruits, Tangelos, Surinam cherries. and an abundance of bananas, papayas, and coconuts! A unique property in one of the most beautiful places on the island!
