The property includes mature monkeypod, lychee, and avocado trees among a variety of tropical plantings including coffee, soursop, ulu, and bananas. A natural path leads into the gulch where a seasonal stream and cleared flat area offer potential for gardening or orchard use, with the property extending across the gulch. A custom built outdoor cement soaking tub located on the back lanai creates a serene, private space surrounded by nature. Historic coastal trails and Kapanaia Bay are just minutes away, accessible on foot or by Polaris UTV, which may be included in the sale. Enjoy the sounds of the birds, wind, and ocean with minimal human noise. This property offers privacy, natural beauty, and a connection to the land while still close to local shops, dining, and amenities.
