In the shadow of Akaka falls and a few miles from hilo, this quaint historic town will steal your heart. Honomu was once a bustling sugar plantation town and is now a peaceful oasis with waterfalls, rivers, and parks, with the Pacific ocean at its back door. It also happens to be located in lava zone 8 which is the least likely lava zone to experience active flow!
This classic plantation style home is loaded with vintage charm with evidence of care throughout. The high ceilings and large windows in the home bathe it with natural light. The primary bedroom has large his-and-hers closets with additional overhead storage. The recently refinished wood floors gleam beautifully! In the past few years the home has seen some significant upgrades which include:
Brand new kitchen renovation 2023 (refinished cabinets, wood countertops)
All new light fixtures and ceiling fans 2023
New dryer 2022
New washer 2023

A covered seating area off the back of the home offers the best way to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle for which Hawaii is known. Enjoy a fresh cup of morning coffee under the serenade of local songbirds or an evening cocktail to the twilight sounds of a jungle coming alive.
With lots of morning sun and plenty of rain, Honomu’s climate is ideal for growing many of Hawaii’s coveted flora. The yard has an abundance of edibles including citrus, pineapple, bananas, rambutan, avocados, and guava.
If you are looking for a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s close enough to Hilo to be convenient, but far enough away to find rest..this may be the place for you.
Shown by appointment only so please no drive-by’s unless specifically arranged.
