One-of-a-kind custom homes like this rarely come on the market at an affordable price point. Situated on a double lot adjacent to the Keau’ohana Forest Reserve, this unique and thoughtfully designed home is positioned to maximize views while maintaining privacy. Upon entering the home, you are welcomed by an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with sliding doors opening out to a wrap-around lanai. Expansive views stretch into the distance. The chef’s kitchen is built for entertaining with two, custom built-in bars with storage, and abundant counter space. Down the hall, there is a full bath and a bedroom. Upstairs, the entire top floor is a massive primary bedroom with ensuite bath and its own lanai with filtered ocean views. Facing the forest reserve, the primary suite offers an incredible amount of privacy while still feeling open and airy. The top story lanai with custom built in benches is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or wind down after a long day. On the ground floor, you will find an enclosed laundry room and bonus room that could be used for guests, office space, storage or any number of creative uses. The neighboring two-car garage has abundant space for storage or even a workshop. Don’t miss the weekly farmers market and incredible local music just down the road in Kalapana, the birthplace of many of Hawaii’s masters of slack-key guitar. Keep driving a little further down the “Red Road” to experience one of the most beautiful coastal drives on the Big Island. This picturesque road winds through dense old growth jungle and massive mango trees to Issac Hale Beach Park (Pohoiki) where you will find hot ponds and a newly formed black sand beach.This truly unique and important part of East Hawaii is not to be missed.
