About This Home

Experience timeless charm and modern upgrades in this beautifully revitalized plantation home at the end of a private cul-de-sac in Wainaku Plantation Camp.

The main residence showcases bamboo flooring, a thoughtfully redesigned modern kitchen with sleek concrete countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a warm island breakfast bar. An open-concept design connects the kitchen, dining, and family living areas—framed by panoramic views of Hilo town, Hilo Bay, Wainaku, sunrises, and even reverse sunsets. Updated lighting, spacious flow, and classic plantation character come together to create a home that feels both rooted and refreshed.

The kitchen cabinets are silky oak and mango butcher block . The Tea cabinet is made from Monkeypod. Truly a sweet custom living space!

School district in Wainaku includes Ha'aheo Elementary school.

Downstairs entry in the backyard, the 440 sq ft basement has been transformed into a versatile additional living space with its own private bedroom area, kitchen, bathroom, and living room—perfect for extended family, guests, or creative use.

The property also features an enclosed 2-car garage, thoughtfully converted from the original carport, along with an additional enclosed workshop/workspace to meet your storage and hobby needs.

Outdoors, the large flag-shaped lot offers room to roam. A chicken coop, covered traditional Hawaiian smoker/BBQ area, extra storage, and lush mature landscaping make the backyard a retreat for both relaxation and productivity.

Just minutes from Hilo Bay and town conveniences yet tucked just beyond the iconic Singing Bridge, this Wainaku gem combines history, privacy, and modern comfort in a way that’s hard to find.
