16-1070 40th Ave Keaau, HI 96749

This property is a rare find on paved 40th Avenue in upper Orchid Land Estates near Hwy 11. As you drive onto the property this is not your typical skinny lot, a little over 500 feet the lot expands to 375 ft wide and another 522 feet deep (approx.) for a total of 6 acres! This custom home, built in 2017, is nestled between rainbow eucalyptus, avocado, citrus and stands of bamboo. The main entrance is through rustic antique doors which transport you into a bold and eclectic living space. Floor to ceiling glass sliders fill the room with light and Hawaiian breezes. A chef’s kitchen complete with Wolf commercial grade range, Sub-Zero refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher are paired with quartz and natural wood counter finishes. The "pecky" cedar used in the trim and lighting fixture, natural Ohia post and concrete floors balance the natural and industrial elements of this home. A screened lanai is just off the kitchen and serves as a multifunctional space. Up the wood block stairs is a guest bedroom, bath and master suite. This master bedroom can accommodate a king bed and still have space for an additional seating area or home office. Relax in the clawfoot tub or enjoy the double shower overlooking the landscaped yard. Off the master, a private lanai leads to the backyard. Tucked between the trees there is a covered gazebo for dining and entertaining, a sleeping cabin for guests and a whimsical outdoor bathroom. The double carport has extra storage space, a laundry with Bosch washer & dryer, and mechanical room. An additional outbuilding can be used for vehicles or as a workshop. This home is completely off-grid with a robust photovoltaic system. This fully owned system has 16 panels, Outback inverter, 8 D batteries and a 12 kilowatt “welding” generator. The home also has 8,000 gallon ferrocement water catchment tank and property is fenced on three sides. A great space for anyone that wants privacy and the convenience of a quick commute into Hilo!
