Tucked away in the upscale charm of Puna Beach Palisades, this tranquil residence on Hawaii’s Big Island captures the perfect balance of laid-back living and natural beauty. The single-family home sits on nearly half an acre of lush tropical landscaping, offering a peaceful escape just moments from the ocean. The main house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, designed to let the island’s light and breezes flow through every space. The kitchen was recently remodeled with clean, modern lines, including a waterfall countertop and updated appliances. Upstairs, a wraparound lanai invites you to take in sunrise views over morning coffee. On the ground floor, the primary suite is paired with a custom-tiled bathroom and large walk-in closet, while just outside, an outdoor shower and soaking tub embrace the island lifestyle. A new hot tub nearby provides the perfect spot to unwind under the stars. A shaded walkway, lined with greenery that bursts into orange blooms during certain months, connects to the ohana unit. This versatile space functions as a guest cottage or studio, complete with a half bath and outdoor shower, offering privacy and flexibility. The property is alive with tropical plants, from bromeliads and ginger to heliconia and towering hapuʻu ferns. Fruit trees like avocado, citrus, banana, and lilikoi dot the landscape, creating an edible paradise. Bordering state-owned land and a dramatic lava field, the home enjoys privacy and a unique connection to the island’s untamed beauty. This is more than a home—it’s a place where nature and comfort meet, where life moves at its own rhythm, and where every detail invites you to stay a little longer.
