About This Home

As of September 2025

In iconic Reeds Island, along the majestic Wailuku River, this exceptional 3 bed, 3.5 bath home offers direct river frontage, lush rainforest surroundings, and rare views of two year-round waterfalls. Originally designed by renowned Hawai'i architect Virginia B. Macdonald, the home blends classic island architecture with thoughtful modern upgrades.

Recent renovations and an extensive remodel added the third bedroom, multi-purpose room, and introduced a range of contemporary improvements including new appliances, five split AC units, and an EcoSmart electric water heater. Soaring ceilings, skylights, original oak and new French oak floors fill the home with natural light and warmth.

The new open-concept kitchen features modular cabinetry and sleek stainless finishes paired with panoramic views of the surrounding jungle and waterfalls. Step onto the covered lanai for al fresco dining with the soothing soundtrack of the river just below. Nearly every room enjoys direct views of cascading water and surrounding rainforest.

The expansive primary suite is a luxurious sanctuary, complete with a versatile private lounge or den and a spa-inspired en suite bath. The unique semi-outdoor soaking tub invites you to relax under the stars while listening to the waterfalls.

Ideally located within walking distance to downtown Hilo, area schools, and Hilo Benioff Medical Center, this home offers convenience without compromising peace or privacy. Reeds Island is a little known, exclusive, and very much sought after non-gated enclave in Hilo. Accessed by a bridge, this is truly and geographically a small island unto itself. Properties here are rarely offered for sale.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to live surrounded by nature, luxury, and convenience in one of East Hawai‘i’s most hidden and desirable neighborhoods.
