This home is well located in the very desirable Hawaiian Paradise Park just 4 lots off pavement in the Big Island's Puna district (Lava Zone 3). A perfect off-grid homesteader home, its located in the lower third of the subdivision, closer to the ocean and climate a little drier. Residents stroll, bike, and fish the shoreline alongside blue seas, turtles, dolphins and in season whales visit.

The present owners have updated with attractive, modern features, adding many new comforts with quality workmanship. With two bedrooms, and a living/dining/kitchen between, it's efficient and perfect for living simply and integrating indoors and out. There is a spacious deck on the back of the house, great for entertaining and outdoor enjoyment. A single car carport can also be used for extension of outdoor living.

The lot has been upgraded, making a comfortable area for gardens, raised beds, but plenty of forest for banana patches and large fruit trees. Plants are too numerous to list, but include pineapples, old growth waiwi (cherry, apple, lemon), strawberry guava, mangoes, Samoan coconuts, blackberries, raspberries, spinach, mint, kalo, ulu, lilikoi, and Hawaiian sweet potatoes. Also, there's a great assortment of ornamentals. Three goats would love to continue living at the back of the property, and dog kennels will remain.

It's enveloped by tall, old growth mango, avocado and other forest trees, but the lot has been strategically cleared and covered in quality 1 1/2" drain rock.

Making off-grid living possible, there is a propane stove & oven and on-demand water heater. Copper plumbing and outdoor shower, along with kitchen and bathroom, are supplied by a 4000 gallon Chemtainer catchment water tank. Solar photovoltaic panels, storage batteries and an Outback inverter supply power to the home. A backup generator is in included! Separate solar for water pump.

The quality of this home is evident when you see it. MLS 659391
