Escape to a peaceful off-grid retreat on three private acres in the sought-after Hawaiian Acres neighborhood. This charming two-bedroom, one-bath cabin offers a rare opportunity to live sustainably while surrounded by East Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty.
Wake up to birdsong, lush greenery, and cool tradewinds, and fall asleep beneath incredibly dark, star-filled skies. The cabin’s simple, functional design is ideal for full-time living, a personal retreat, or a homestead base, inviting a slower, more intentional lifestyle connected to the land.
Hawaiian Acres is known for its spacious lots, rural tranquility, and strong off-grid community. Residents value privacy, independence, and sustainable living. The fertile volcanic soil and generous acreage make this area ideal for gardening, orchards, permaculture, or simply enjoying wide-open space.
Despite its secluded feel, the property is conveniently located approximately 20–30 minutes from Hilo, where you’ll find shopping, dining, medical facilities, farmers markets, and an international airport. World-class attractions are nearby, including Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, waterfalls, black sand beaches, lava fields, and endless hiking opportunities.
Enjoy a mild tropical climate year-round, with warm days, cool evenings, and refreshing rainfall that keeps the landscape vibrant and green. This is more than a home—it’s a chance to unplug, live simply, and create your own slice of paradise in one of East Hawaiʻi’s most beloved off-grid communities.
