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>The improvements have no permits, and so this is a cash only listing, and to be sold As-Is.
