Property Description

This classic Hawaiian plantation home overlooking Laupahoehoe Point provides sweeping ocean views above the Hamakua coastline. Relax on its expansive wraparound lanai and enjoy sunrise glow over the ocean, squalls move across the horizon creating rainbows, and whale watching. The house has undergone various renovations since it was moved onsite prior to 1960. The most recent raised the house two feet to full ceiling height on the lower level. Raising the house included removing and replacing the upper lanai, the interior and exterior stairways, and the lower-level walls which are now smart-sided 2x6 hurricane braced shear walls. Structural work on the lower level has been completed, leaving the interior to be finished to fit your lifestyle needs. County records reflect this home could host 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The upper level has one bedroom, a full bath, and a spacious living/kitchen/dining area that opens onto the lanai for indoor-outdoor living. The lush yard has over 10 varieties of mature fruit trees including tangerine, ulu, Brazilian cherry, grapefruit, papaya, lemon, lilikoi and dragon fruit as well as avocados that fall from a neighboring tree. Enjoy native and exotic ornamentals such as plumeria, hau, hibiscus, ixora, ti plants, bromeliad, anthurium, and orchids with plenty of room for more. A 4-stall dog kennel sits in the SE corner of the backyard, and a covered carport fronts the street. Laupahoehoe is a small, vibrant community midway between Hilo and Waimea along Hwy. 19. It hosts a pre-k-12 school, public pool, library, playground, the Laupahoehoe Train Museum, Papa’aloa Country Store and Cafe with live music in the restaurant/bar, and Minit Stop gas station and convenience store. Laupahoehoe Point Beach Park is only minutes away.
