Built in 1993, this 2 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse is a charming off-grid home of 1,250 square feet. The spacious lanai offers beautiful ocean views with Hilo town in the background and the palm laden river gulch in the foreground. Layback in your daybed with a good book and listen to the waterfall rush in the background. If you’re lucky, you might even catch rainbows reaching out towards the waterfall. The home offers both roof and ground mounted solar to meet all of your solar needs. The newer ground mount solar installation boasts 6 345 watt/ 24 volt panels and 12 nano carbon batteries. The panels have 22 years remaining warranty. There is enough electricity generation to support the full sized washer & dryer. All water is caught in the catchment tank and filtered with UV. Propane tank is serviced by Hawaii Gas. Accessory Structures There are two newly built agricultural accessory structures. The Ulu Hale is ideal for storing tools or could be used as a yoga deck. The Blue Hale has 2 solar panels to support light electric use, its own catchment tank, a composting toilet, a simple kitchen and on top of it all, 2 stories with ocean views. Perimeter Fence Farm now features a full fence line, wrapping around the perimeter of the property. This valuable addition keeps wild pigs out of the orchard (preventing land damage & product loss), allows for owners to keep herding animals like sheep and adds to the security space. Water Features The farm is named after the stream that it borders- Kapue Stream. This river offers great swimming spots and several waterfalls. In 2016, the current owner invested in fortifying sides of the gulch with vetiver and cutting a second trail to the river. Now, there are two ways to get down. There is also a seasonal stream that runs through the property. Our Products Our fruit and nuts are grown in the rich soils of the legendary Hamakua Coast on the Big Island. Fertilized and weeded by our sheep and goats, our products contain no pesticides, herbicides or commercial fertilizers. That’s what makes our products so ono and keeps the land pono. Macadamia Nuts Acovado Apple Bananas Tangerines Lemons (meyer, variegated & common) Grapefruit Oranges Jackfruit Kalamansi limes Durian Warabi Abiu Rollinia Lilikoi (passion fruit) Papaya Rambutan Lychee Mango Jaboticaba Thimbleberries Ulu While we did not apply for the official certification, we have passed the 3 year “waiting period” eligibility prerequisite for organic farming. It would be simple for a buyer to apply for the certification and receive the organic designation. Fruit & nut are sold both wholesale and retail.
