16-355 MELEKULE ST, KEAAU, HI 96749

Welcome to your own Hawaiian jungalow retreat in - where bohemian soul meets tropical serenity. Tucked behind the gates on two lush acres, this permitted and well-maintained 2-bedroom home invites you down a winding driveway framed by swaying palms, ʻōhiʻa trees, orchids, and anthuriums. The moment you arrive, the pace softens. The air feels sweeter. This is island living, reimagined. Upstairs, you’ll feel like you’re living in a dreamy treetop hideaway. A spacious covered lanai welcomes slow mornings and the gentle mele of songbirds. Step through the double doors into a warm living space featuring open-beam ceilings, striking ʻōhiʻa posts, and rich cedar walls that wrap the home in natural texture and tone. The open-concept living and kitchen area flows effortlessly. The bathroom is a true statement piece, with full tile surround and a custom Indonesian river rock inlay floor that feels both grounded and luxurious. Upstairs you’ll also find two bedrooms, and not one but two inviting seating areas on the lanai to soak in the surrounding greenery. Downstairs offers incredible versatility. A large carport/workshop/storage area is complemented by an additional bedroom and half bath with private entry plus an enchanting outdoor rainfall shower wrapped in a curved bamboo privacy wall. The land itself is a vibrant, edible landscape. Thoughtfully preserved and lovingly cultivated, you’ll enjoy an abundant variety of fruit including Tahitian and makrut lime, lemons, pink variegated lemon, orange, tangerine, avocado, guava, starfruit, soursop, bananas, coconut, papaya, purple and Jamaican lilikoi, and ulu (breadfruit). Harvest from your own trees and savor the rhythm of seasonal blooms year-round. This is more than a home — it’s a vibe. A sanctuary. A place where creativity flows, fruit ripens on the branch, and life feels beautifully unhurried. View video: https://player.vimeo.com/video/1165534818
