Tucked behind a private gate near Keiki Ponds, this one-of-a-kind custom cedar home offers a peaceful island setting surrounded by mature tropical gardens. Seller financing may be available, and the seller is very motivated—bring all offers. The two-story home offers approximately 1,300 square feet with two sleeping areas, including a loft-style second bedroom. Inside, you’ll find soaring open-beam ceilings, stained-glass windows, warm cedar details and a charming clawfoot tub. The large deck is a beautiful place to relax, listen to the ocean and enjoy the sounds of birds throughout the property. The established garden includes producing lychee, soursop, coconut, lilikoi, bananas and cacao, along with bamboo and other lush tropical plants. A spacious covered area beneath the home provides additional room for storage, a workshop or outdoor gatherings. The property is set up for independent island living with an OutBack solar system, approximately 9–10 panels, four newer batteries and a Honda 3000 backup generator. Other features include a 10,000-gallon catchment tank, brand-new water pump, newer pressure tank, on-demand propane water heater and a new refrigerator. Most furnishings may also be included at the buyer’s request. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property filled with character, privacy and tropical abundance, all close to the ocean and Keiki Ponds. Seller financing may be available with approximately 50% down, 7% interest and a 10-year term, subject to mutually acceptable terms. The seller would like to remain in the home for up to four months after closing and will pay rent to the new owner during that time. Rent and occupancy terms will be agreed upon as part of the purchase contract.
