54-258 Lokahi Rd Kapaau, HI 96755

Country living, Big Island style! This almost-oceanfront 29-acre parcel in North Kohala offers privacy, unobstructed ocean views, and a recently completed one-bedroom island-style residence.

Move right in while you build an estate home or enjoy a simple, sustainable lifestyle near the rural towns of Hawi and Kapaau. A cleared home site in the upper pasture features sweeping views of the ocean, perched above a deep gulch that offers view plane protection.

Zoned for agriculture: the lot has two fenced livestock pastures below the house and more than 400 trees, including a bearing fruit orchard.

An artist and a craftsman fashioned every detail of the cottage, from the vaulted ceilings finished in lauhala to the bamboo trim. A red metal roof, crank open windows and rugged Ohia posts reflect Kohala's rustic charm.

Enjoy the ocean view and solitude from a central covered lanai. On one side, a serving window connects the breezeway to the spacious and well-lit kitchen styled with antique stove and cabinets.

On the other side, pocket doors open to a comfy sitting room, with bedroom and bath beyond. Lie in bed and watch the moon rise over the ocean, silhouetting the distant palms.

The house is equipped with a photovoltaic system and connected to county and ag water.

This property was granted a special use permit for a camping retreat center that has just received a 5-year extension. A qualified buyer who wanted to follow through on that vision could take over the permit.

Small home and working farm? Large estate home with guest house or farm worker dwelling? Non-profit camp? With big views and big acreage, there is room for big dreams!
