15-1647 9th Ave (Kalaunu) Keaau, HI 96749

Imagine a simpler life. A kick-back lifestyle. A life where you can enjoy your hobbies.. your garden of fresh fruits and beautiful plants and trees; your natural flowing pahoehoe landscape.

This easy-to-maintain home is just large enough for that freedom from the havoc of everyday life. It has just the right amount of privacy and living area for the first-time homeowner or the time-to-downsize homeowner.

Lots of covered parking at the residence and at the workshop. Workshop!?? You bet! The place you can have just about any hobby. Cars, woodworking, DYI-ers, an Artists Studio, Sculpting, Metalwork. Perhaps it can be transformed into your own private dance studio.. a small barn-like get-together.. a teen hangout (now you know where they are), or a man (or woman) cave! How about those unexpected overflow guests?

Chicken coops at the back of the property provide a condo-like area for "fowl" play... You know the saying, "Happy Chickens, Happy Life!"... no, that's not right.. moving on...

Check out this list of edibles and "beautifuls": Breadfruit (ulu), Samoan coconut, Thai coconut, Strawberry papaya, Banana, Pineapple, Mountain Apple, Haas avocado AND Puakenikeni, Magnolia, Plumerias, Orchids, Monstera, a variety of Ti leaf, Autograph tree, a variety of palms, a variety of Bromeliads.

Shopping and need for breaking out once in a while? You can go in two directions here. Keaau - where we have the post office, various fast-food establishments, restaurants, markets, Longs, coffee shops, hardware stores, and in the Pahoa direction the brand new Puna Kai Shopping Center. Malama Market, with a coffee bar and drink bar, poke bar and food bar... kind of like a mini Whole Foods. All types of new restaurants, gas stations, and more! It's the town that time forgot with a gentrified twist before you enter and about a 35-minute 'off-peak' travel time to Hilo.
