Ocean viewsScreened greenhouseFully modernized systemsDetached officeEstablished food forestWhole-house water filtrationOn-demand hot water

Set in the heart of historic Honokaʻa town, this is a home the Hamakua Coast cannot replicate — built from reclaimed lumber following WWII and completely reimagined with a bespoke Japanese-Scandinavian aesthetic. Historic character on the outside, serious modern infrastructure throughout: • Ocean views with the town on foot — post office, grocery, restaurants, hospital, pool, and schools all within walking distance • Just minutes from Waipiʻo Valley Lookout • Fully modernized systems: 200-amp electrical service, complete replumbing, extensive post-and-pier upgrades and reinforcement , whole-house water filtration, and on-demand hot water • True energy independence: owned 36-panel photovoltaic system with two Tesla Powerwall batteries • Whole-home air conditioning provides year-round climate and humidity control, keeping the home comfortable and dry in Hawaiʻi’s tropical environment • Chef's kitchen with premium Café appliances • Remodeled lower level featuring a clawfoot soaking tub with a view; FORME Lift Trainer conveys with the sale • 1.06 landscaped acres with extensive rock walls, large hot tub with outdoor shower, screened greenhouse, detached office, and custom chicken coop. • Established food forest: a dozen-plus banana trees, multiple citrus and avocado varieties, ʻulu, jaboticaba, and more. • Lava Zone 8 Historic character, an expansive ocean view, walkable town living, and modern systems that stand on their own — four qualities that rarely appear together, brought together here in the heart of historic Honokaʻa.
