This 3-bedroom, 2-bath A-frame home is set on over an acre just minutes from historic Honokaʻa town. The fully fenced and gated property offers room to spread out, with tropical landscaping, established fruit trees, and ocean views from the home and yard. Inside, the home has a comfortable and functional layout with natural light, large windows, and generous closet spaces. Two bedrooms and a shared bathroom are located on the main level, while the primary bedroom and bathroom are upstairs in the loft, where some of the home’s best ocean views can be enjoyed.

Additional features include a spacious lanai, solar hot water, water filtration systems, a storage shed, and ample room for gardening, food production, or expanding the existing landscaping. The property offers something quite rare: enough land for privacy and room to grow, without the upkeep that often comes with the larger 5- to 10-acre parcels found in the area. With over an acre and just half a mile from Honokaʻa town, it checks many of the boxes that can be difficult to find in one property—usable land, ocean views, privacy, and still walkable to town.
