This five-acre agricultural property located approximately one mile makai (towards the ocean) of the rural North Kohala town of Hawi has a permitted cedar cabin, orchards and farm buildings, and room for expansion. The cabin is 750 sq ft, one bedroom, one bath with indoor shower, plus a sweet outdoor shower. Established plantings around the home include palm trees, tropical flowers, and fruit trees – mango, lichee, jaboticaba, avocado, star fruit, custard apple and more. Sit on the lanai with your morning coffee and freshly picked fruit while listening to the song of birds in the trees, or take a stroll up the country roads to enjoy breakfast at the local coffee spot in Hawi. Shop at the Saturday farmers market or nearby Food Hub and cook fresh meals from local ingredients in the country styled kitchen with custom cabinets of mango and keawe woods.

There is room on the property for a larger home if that were desired. Check with County Planning and Building for rules and procedures on constructing additional farm dwellings on agricultural land. The land was leased by a non-profit providing education and food for the local community using chemical-free natural farming methods. The farm is winding down, and is ready for a new owner?s agricultural vision. Keeping the land in production lowers property taxes. A permitted 1,020 sq ft agricultural building can be used for equipment, processing or animal shelter. The acreage would also support horses.

Although the setting is rural, there is underground electricity, County water, cable for high speed Internet, and good cell phone reception. The shops and restaurants of Hawi are a mile away; a grocery store and library between Hawi and Kapaau, another two miles along the road. The beaches and amenities of the Kohala Coast resorts are a half-hour drive, Kona airport and Costco an hour away. Kohala is a vibrant multi-cultural community, committed to maintaining its historic character and agricultural heritage.
