Description:
This five-acre property in the rural North Kohala town of Hawi is an agricultural homestead used for many years by a non-profit to provide agricultural education and food for the local community using chemical-free natural farming methods. Now this turn-key farm is ready for a new owner’s vision.
A permitted custom cedar home has 750 sq ft, one bedroom, one bath with indoor shower, plus a sweet outdoor shower. The home is fully set up for modern living or remote work with underground electricity, County water, cable for high speed Internet, and good cell phone reception.
Established plantings include palm, native, and fruit trees - mango, lichee, jaboticaba, avocado, star fruit, custard apple, sapote, cashew, and more. Sit on the lanai with your morning coffee and freshly picked fruit while listening to the song of birds in the trees, or take a stroll up the country roads to enjoy breakfast at the local coffee spot. Shop at the Saturday farmers market or nearby Kohala Grown Market and cook fresh meals from local ingredients in the country styled kitchen with custom cabinets of mango and keawe woods.
There is room on the property to expand the existing house or build a larger home if that were desired. Check with County Planning and Building for rules and procedures on constructing additional farm dwellings on agricultural land. A permitted 1,020 sq ft agricultural building can be used for equipment, processing, or animal shelter. The acreage would also support horses. Keeping the land in agricultural production qualifies for property tax relief.
Located makai (towards the ocean) of Hawi, shops and restaurants are only a mile away. Grocery store and library are located another two miles along the road. The beaches and amenities of the Kohala Coast resorts are a half-hour drive, Kona airport and Costco an hour away. Kohala s a vibrant multi-cultural community, committed to maintaining its historic character and agricultural heritage.
