From Hilo Town it's about 5 minutes to the turn-off from Highway 19. From there, you'll pass through small Puaka'a, then farms and large homesteads while moving up the deep, east-facing valley roughly 1.2 miles until reaching the lava rock gateway and the acreage.Lot size is 20.43 Acres. The road divides the parcel into two portions, the house being on the southern half. Along the northern and eastern boundaries, a creek flows nearly all year. Honolii Stream which flows year-round with waterfalls, pools and edible fish, defines the southern boundary and is surrounded by conservation land. The home's site on gently sloping open land provides a stunning view of Hilo Bay and all points east which has in its breadth, every sunrise of the year. Mango, citrus, avocado, rambutan, coffee, macadamia, banana as well as vegetable gardens, are scattered throughout; birdsongs and stream sounds make the place peaceful and serene. Up the steps and in through the double glass doors, one glimpses structure and materials as the home pulls you in. Its high ceiling of warm wood, walls of windows and natural light create an extravagant space for having friends and neighbors over to mingle and talk story. Perfectly situated, this home draws in views of the bay and surrounding hillsides from almost every room.A minimalist but efficient and workable kitchen is designed for interaction (don?t miss its picture-perfect window scene nor that from the washroom). The quality of light filtering in allows the bedroom to double as a perfect studio. Stroll up the stairs to the loft for special birds-eye glimpses of architectural details throughout. And running the full length of the home off the main level, the lanai is a perfect spot to enjoy a morning cup of coffee, survey Hawaii, and make plans to never leave.
