Description

What you will love about this home

Aloha!

I'd like to highlight our wonderful house, nestled at 3,000 feet in North America's only cloud forest! Here, you can escape the Kona heat and enjoy a safe and peaceful retreat, surrounded by native Hawaiian trees and plants.

The property boasts a multitude of captivating features, including a hot tub, cold plunge, outdoor shower, sauna, garden and fruit trees. Inside, skylights, a fireplace, and a sunroom flood the home with inviting natural light.

We're conveniently located just 13 minutes from Costco and 18 minutes from the airport. Plus, you'll find many beautiful beaches nearby, such as Kua Bay (24 minutes away) and Kailua Beach (20 minutes away).

Mahalo,
James
