About this property

Lovely Ohana Close to Beaches

This lovely home is clean, newer, beautifully decorated, comfy, cozy, nestled in the tropical jungle, close to beaches and designed for ultra comfortable off-grid living. Off-grid home with powerful solar system installed in late March 2024. Propane range, refrigerator and instant hot water, plus an extra fridge on back lanai. We understand that for our guests, comfort and convenience is everything.

Relax & Rejuvenate in this cozy jungle retreat. Surrounded by native Hawaiian flowering Ohia trees, coconut trees and palms, wild orchids, native Ti, edible fruit trees such as apple bananas, Meyers lemon, lime, starfruit, avocado, cacao, and numerous beautiful Hawaiian flowers including anthurium, jade, bromeliad, ginger, hibiscus, vanilla, and orchids. Numerous species of birds live here and harmonize beautiful melodies. Unplug and unwind while you immerse yourself in wonderful nature at it's best!

Tropical, lush and green with fresh clean air (literally the cleanest air on earth!) and a multitude of fabulous things to see and do. The prevailing trade winds blow from just the right direction to keep the temperature pleasant all year round. Usually it rains at night and is sunny during the days - perfect for keeping things lush and green!

At night, Coqui frogs lull you to sleep It's especially exciting when we get an intense rain torrent at night, as the sounds are awesome. Wake up to a multitude of birds singing their morning melodies. You will see cute green geckos here - don't worry they won't sleep with you, as they are afraid of humans :)
10 minutes to historic Pahoa Village with the Puna Kai shopping center, restaurants, groceries, hardware, gas, boutique shops, hippie shops and medical facilities.

You'll find a guest book at the house with details and directions to spectacular spots all within just a few miles from the home, including some 'secret spots' that you will not find in any tourist book.

This is the perfect spot for nature lovers, adventure seekers, families, those who want to get away from it all, and those who do not depend on TV for entertainment while vacationing. Internet and cell phone usage is Hawaiian Telcom high speed fiber optic, very fast and reliable.

Here in Puna, we are blessed to have so many great things to see and do. Here you will find pristine waters and the cleanest air on earth. Our home is just minutes to the scenic coastal Red Road, and black sand beaches such as Kalapana, Kehena and Pohoiki. Get a massage, dance, or just spend time at the healing retreat of Kalani. Enjoy a fabulous hike along the kings trail to the white sand beach called Shipman's. Relax in the natural geo-thermically heated hot pool called the queens bath at Pohoiki as well as the new black sand beach and surfing at Isaac Hale beach park, fishing at Mackenzie Park, spelunking, lava viewing, natural steam vents, fantastic markets and the historic village of Pahoa with it's quaint outdoor market, hippie shops, family-friendly and fine dining. Puna is known to be a hippie friendly destination. Peace and Love.

Unpretentious Puna is famous for its relaxed pace, artisans, hippies and Farmers Markets.
Each Friday the Puna Kai center in Pahoa Town has an open-air market. Every Sunday, just up Hwy 130 you'll find the biggest, best and most diversified farmer's markets in the entire Hawaiian Island chain - The Saturday Kai'Mu market at Uncle Roberts and the Sunday Maku'u market, both nearby, very fun and offering everything you would expect and much more including fresh local produce, live plants, local artists, import merchants, local cuisine, live music and dancing. You may even be able to take in a hula show! Eat, drink & be merry! Sway to the rhythm of authentic Hawaiian slack key and ukulele and enjoy the sense of community here.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the jungle with wonderful neighbors (close-by but you can hardly see from the home), this is a peaceful place to enjoy nature and the beauty of the Big Island with a great sense of neighborhood community spirit.

This home is Off-Grid meaning Solar Powered. The Solar system is brand new as of late March 2022, and is top-of-the-line. It very efficiently powers the entire home and has a new back-up generator. The water is on a catchment system so is not drinkable directly from the faucet, similar to NYC - just run it through the Berkey water purifier , boil it for 1 minute or you may prefer to drink bottled water. Off-Grid living means being mindful about the environment and your use of power and water. There is plenty of both as long as one is mindful and not excessively wasteful. We ask that you shut off the power while out and about, and not leave lights on and fans running when you're not there. Mahalo for being chill and mindful.

What makes this property unique

This lovely new off-grid home is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. surrounded by tropical jungle, just 2 miles to the beach. and 8 minutes to historic Pahoa Town. The entire solar system is brand new as of late March 2022, with a brand new back-up generator for emergencies. Discover how cool Off-Grid living can be!

The high speed internet is great! No TV. No curling irons, hair dryers, or irons. please
Melita and French Press coffeemakers. Berkey water purifier.
