A property with tremendous potential located in Paauilo, of Hawai’i Island. Tucked down a private easement drive & set on a secluded site, this 8 acre property offers amazing privacy, & the chance to restore something special. Once a thriving homestead w/ paddocks, fruit trees, & agricultural buildings, the property is set with a home situated at the very top of the land, overlooking everything below. While much of the acreage is now overgrown with tall grass, several exotic trees and fruiting plants remain.
The home is being sold in as-is condition. It is a well-built 2-bedroom, 1-bath home w/ a meditation room (or nice office) & small porch overlooking the property. Inside, you’ll find tall ceilings with wood tongue-and-groove detail and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. The house will need attention-- painting, kitchen cabinet repairs, bathroom tiling has cracks, rust around the chimney pipe, etc. The property is served by county water and also features an owned solar system improved in 2021.
There are two agricultural buildings on the property. One is located near the entrance and houses the solar system for the home. It also includes an enclosed area, kitchen, bath, and covered porch. The second ag building has additional rustic quarters. Both ag structures are currently in very rough condition. Sold as is.
This property is located in a very private setting, with access via a private easement that runs alongside the Hawaiian Vanilla Company’s farm, where they operate tours. Please drive slowly and respectfully when visiting and please do not attempt to drive by the property or drive down the private easement without a scheduled appointment.
The property will take work to restore, but for the right buyer, this is a sweet opportunity. There may even be an ocean view waiting to be reopened, as several trees (on the property) currently block what could be a nice view.
