About 12-1123 Kaimu Makena Homestead Rd
Few properties in the lower Puna area offer such a panoramic ocean view! If a serene alternative lifestyle is your cup of tea, then this 1/1 with high end solar and generater backup may be just what the doctor ordered. <br>The home was built without permits by a previous owner, and the current one recently replaced all plumbing and installed a very easy to manage Outback PV system with invertor, 4 - L16 batteries and 4 - 280 watt panels. A 3600w generator is on hand for the rare times when you have excessively cloudy days in a row. <br>Step out on the 392sq ft full length back lanai, to take in the expansive ocean view as well as your 6.12 acres of mostly untouched lowland forest, which backs up to 177 acres of State land. <br>Want to create your own dream home? A road has been cut to the back of the 1,524 ft. long lot, with several house pads graded out along the way, and a tree house of sorts waits your inner child at the end of the road.<br>The front area is a veritable garden of eatin, with a greenhouse for veggies, a delightful selection of mature fruit trees incl: citrus, sapote, avocado, mango, apple banana, papaya, cacao Samoan coconut and coffee. <br>Do you love flowers? You will find Puakenikeni, gardenia, night blooming jasmine and many other varieties of flowers on the property.<br>The kitchen has some unusual treats: Ohia slab counter and black bamboo framing to store the pots and pans as well as bamboo rods for window shades.<br>A 5K gal. catchment is under a roof and out of the line of sight of the home, and the solar powered gate with keypad in the front offers security.<br>A bus was converted to serve as a studio for guests with roof, catchment and solar panels.<br>No wastewater records with DOH, however, per the seller, the cesspool is to the side of the house. <br>The improvements have no permits, and so this is a cash only listing, and to be sold As-Is. Buyer to do their own due diligence. Owner occupied, 24 hr. notice requested.
