Secluded within a living fortress of tropical foliage, this luxurious home epitomizes the wild yet authentic beauty of the surrounding rainforest. A unique fusion of modern updates with charming original details make this home a rare gem.

Natural light flows through this open airy split-level home with vaulted ceilings, skylights and exposed beams. A gourmet kitchen with new stainless steel appliances along with multiple indoor/outdoor dining and lounging areas make this the perfect setting to relax and entertain.

The master bedroom with en-suite 3⁄4 bath is on the main floor along with a 1⁄2 bath and laundry room. Upstairs the original rustic wood floor highlights 2 cozy bedrooms with shared full bath. Opposite sliding glass doors off the tiled lower level living room lead out to the front screened lanai and to the backyard.

Recent updates exude a modern island theme, including new counter tops and vinyl bamboo flooring, oil-rubbed bronze hardware, louvered closet doors, bamboo roman shade and tropical ceiling fans. The bathrooms boast copper glass vessel sinks, custom tile work and integrated hand and rain shower heads.

This private retreat is nestled on 1/3 of an acre surrounded on 3 sides by empty lots and nearly hidden from view by a tall wooden gate and a perimeter of mature landscaping including hibiscus, avocado, mango, citrus, lillikoi, and coconut trees. The interior of the property is open and spacious with a lush natural lawn. There is also an incomplete yet permitted efficiency unit in the rear corner of the property that could be finished to provide a bonus space. The neighborhood has private water, high speed internet and is minutes from the stunning Puna Coast and the eclectic village of Pahoa.

Finally, the house may be purchased turn-key with vintage Hawaiian, Asian, and mid-century furnishings and decor, new beds and linens, a stocked kitchen, and smart home technology to monitor and control access remotely.
