Description
Looking for a great start to your Hawaii homestead? Look no further! Tucked toward the back of a 3-acre parcel in Orchidland Estates, this cozy cottage offers privacy, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of potential to create your own Hawaiian homestead. The approximately 561 sq. ft. home features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, plus 336 sq. ft. of lanai space and approximately 440 sq. ft. of storage/garage area. The lot is mostly ferns and native ʻōhiʻa forest, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of East Hawaii. Located a short distance from a paved road, the property sits at approximately 850 feet in elevation, with a pleasant climate and a balance of sunshine and rainfall—ideal for gardening and farms. The home features a living area with property views and sliding glass doors opening onto the upper lanai, a basic kitchen area, bathroom, and covered entry lanai. Laminate and ceramic tile flooring provide practical finishes throughout. Two smaller solar systems provide electricity, and a small catchment tank supplies water. Enjoy an off-grid lifestyle or explore the possibility of connecting to grid electricity and high-speed internet. With 3 acres to work with, the possibilities are yours! Develop a small farm, create gardens, or preserve the land in its natural state. Whether you envision a peaceful retreat or a self-sufficient homestead, there's room to make it your own. Orchidland Estates is located mauka (uphill) of the Keaʻau–Pāhoa Hwy. The active homeowner’s association focuses on maintaining paved main roads and additional graded/gravel roads. Nearby Pāhoa and Keaʻau offer grocery stores, banks, schools, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. Hilo is approximately 30 minutes away. A great opportunity! All improvements are nonconforming. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding the property, improvements, utilities, and subdivision requirements.
