NOW OFFERING AT $499,000 – Rare Cedar Home w/ 20+ Yr Landscaping, Pool & Privacy – 4th Ave, Out of Tsunami Zone. This is not your typical HPP home. Built from red cedar and set on a fully landscaped acre with over 20 years of tropical growth, this permitted 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers true privacy, quality materials, and a thoughtful layout just four streets from the ocean cliffs — and outside the tsunami zone. Inside, you'll find vaulted ceilings, split A/C, and spacious built-in closets in every room, a reverse osmosis water system, a solar water heater, and large windows that bring in natural light and greenery from all sides. The open-plan layout leads to a partially wraparound lanai, perfect for morning coffee or hosting under the color-changing lights and BBQ setup. An above-ground pool completes the outdoor living space — ideal for cooling off or convertible into catchment. The land is planted with avocado, cacao, ice cream mango, lilikoi, vanilla, mountain apple, orchids, lipstick palms, rainbow eucalyptus, and two young monkey pod trees — a rare, living landscape you won’t find in new builds or raw lots nearby. A carport with fold-down workbench and utility/storage room round out the lifestyle. Only 30 minutes from Hilo’s food, shopping, and snorkeling, this home blends long-term livability with tropical beauty — and stands apart in both form and function.
