8th St Lot 697, Volcano, HI 96785

Aloha Aina, Sensitivity, and Sustainability are the foundations upon which this parcel of Mauna Loa Estates has been planned. The old-growth ohia forest was minimally cleared at its interior for the improved house pad and driveway. The property perimeter was selectively hand-cleared (invasive species removed and native species retained), while culturally and ecologically significant native species were reintroduced in order to maintain an element of privacy. The sellers went as far as to design a custom home and submit an application for the required building permits in order to complete their vision for the land. Their vision, foresight, and commitment to the land in the form of modern simplicity can be the beginnings of your Hawaii dream home: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1113 sf of enclosed living space, and a large carport intended to serve as exterior living space. Insulated walls and roof assure comfort with minimal energy consumption. The large windows and glass doors provide an abundance of natural light and ventilation. All this can be yours - along with the guilt-free conscience, knowing you are doing your important part as a custodian of paradise. Beyond the small wonder of this parcel, Mauna Loa Estates is a well-maintained idyllic community, with beautifully scaled paved private roads that complement the mauka rainforest well. Volcano Village (with its shops, cafes, galleries, and markets), Volcanoes National Park, and the Volcano Golf Course are just minutes away. A little further and you can reach the conveniences of Mountain View, Keaau, and Hilo (County and State government, UH Hilo, Hilo International Airport, and of course... the beaches). It isn't often a property like this is crafted and even less often that one becomes available. For your consideration, this is a list of plants and trees located within the property that has been provided by the Seller: Pohinahina - 5 plants, Ala Ala Wai Nui - 2, Makaloa Sedge - 8, Hibiscus - 15, Kupu.
