Tucked into the lush jungle of Kehena Beach Estates, this fabulously funky Puna retreat is a stone’s throw from world-famous Kehena Beach and the easy, barefoot vibe that makes this corner of Hawai‘i so special. Set in Lava Zone 2, this effortlessly comfortable and charming 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home delivers a true treehouse feel, perched among the greenery with that tucked-away-in-the-jungle energy. Inside, it lives larger than you’d expect thanks to a HUGE loft space ready to become your yoga studio, creative hideout, extra sleeping area, or whatever your lifestyle calls for. Built post-and-pier, there’s also a big highlight: tons of usable covered space under the home for even more hangout zones. Think workshop, covered parking, storage, outdoor lounge area, or a future project space you can grow into. Practical upgrades are already handled: new gutter, new catchment tank and system, a new propane on-demand water heater, plus the rare convenience of mail delivery right to your home. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape, an affordable Big Island basecamp, or a little sanctuary near the ocean, the price is right at $225,000 and the location is hard to beat. Minutes to Kehena’s black sand beach, Pahoa’s markets and eateries, and endless East Hawai‘i adventures. Come claim your slice of funky Puna living.
