Designed by renowned Volcano architect Boone Morrison and handcrafted by builder Matt Luera, this custom home has been lovingly referred to as “a little jewel box”—and it truly lives up to its name. With natural woods, striking ʻōhiʻa posts, and fine details throughout, this residence exemplifies quality craftsmanship. Sunlight filters through the forest and into every room, with skylights that invite both day and night sky views. Custom-designed skylight covers provide soft light by day and warmth at night. A charming lofted retreat, reached by a “ship’s ladder,” offers a cozy sleeping nook in the treetops, meditation space, office, or quiet reading hideaway. The main living area features a custom-built redwood secretary desk, a wood-burning fireplace, cherry kitchen cabinetry, and hardwood flooring in bamboo and acacia that adds warmth and beauty. The kitchen is highlighted by a new Kucht stove, while the home also includes a new electric LG washer and dryer for modern convenience. Outdoors, a pump/pressure tank shed protects the dual catchment water system, complete with reverse osmosis drinking filter and quantum filtration system, plus a fire-response standpipe—an invaluable feature highly regarded by insurance carriers. The property itself is as magical as the home: a 2.43-acre RS-20,000 zoned lot with sunny clearings for gardening and untouched native rainforest at the rear. Wander the grounds to discover secret garden-like spaces, relax on the storybook front porch, or host unforgettable meals in the covered garden pavilion—a roofed outdoor dining deck with posts nestled among the flowers and greenery. From its stained-glass skylight to the thoughtful blend of natural textures, artisan features, and modern upgrades, this home is an enchanting expression of Volcano rainforest living at its best.
