Five-plus acres, in Lava Zone 8, fully fenced, with a private setting that borders a large forested parcel and the seasonal Maumau Stream. Ocean views of Hilo Bay and the coastline. A mature fruit orchard and with room for a green thumb to take it further. Banana, orange, tangerine, lemon, lychee, to name a few. The main house is meticulously maintained; 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a renovated kitchen with newer appliances, and spacious living and dining rooms wrapped in windows that pull natural light through the whole home.

Beautiful original hardwood floors run underfoot, a rare detail you can't reproduce. Open where it should be open, private where it should be private. You can feel the care the moment you walk in. Adjoining the main house is a permitted one-bedroom, one-bath ohana with a full kitchen and a spacious living area, ideal for extended family, visiting guests, or rental income.
