Property details
About 17-436 Ipuaiwaha St
Highly desired, and rarely available home in Kea'au Ag lots. Located across the street from the Kamehameha campus, just minutes to Keaau town with grocery stores, restaurants and community, and a quick nine mile drive into Hilo. This five bedroom, three (full) bath home has SO much potential. The home has been partially renovated and is ready for the new owners to finish the final touches or leave it as is and keep the old charm. There is potential for rental income as the first and second floor can be divided creating two living spaces. Could be operated as a "hosted" BnB (as long as county allows), a long term rental or multigenerational living. The detatched "unpermitted" shop space has a large area to store tools and farm equipment as well as another bathroom and lots of storage space. <br>The home sits on a one acre lot that truly feels like a park. It has a fully fenced yard with two gated entrances, one in the front and one on the side. No need to wait years to grow your own food because you will inherit all the mature, fruiting trees on property. Tree inventory includes mango, avocado, jabong, lemon, sour-sop, orange and an all-spice tree.<br>HOA fees are $42 a year.
