Welcome to the epitome of tranquility & tropical beauty. This 8-acre property and fully-furnished home, in highly sought after Kipahulu, is serene & private. Bordered by Haleakala National Park and an organic fruit farm, the location is ideal. The sweeping ocean views are everywhere you turn and the sunrises and moonrises are simply unbeatable. This is an ideal opportunity for those seeking privacy, seclusion, and a sustainable lifestyle, without sacrificing any creature comforts. The airy, tastefully appointed main residence has an open concept floor plan with dramatic vaulted ceilings and plenty of natural light in every room. Each of the two roomy bedrooms, which are detached from the living space, has its own spacious en-suite bathroom.

Additionally, there’s a discreetly located stand-alone ohana that’s perfect for guests or a caretaker. The landscaping is anchored by two magnificent decorative trees, as well as an expansive Red Hibiscus hedge for both a pop of color and for added privacy. The grounds have been thoughtfully designed for easy maintenance, while still embracing the areas agricultural roots. It features a vast, commercially-productive banana orchard, avocados, mangos, breadfruit and variety of citrus, along with many exotic varieties of orchids and Plumerias. The property is off-the-grid and completely self-sustaining, with a recently upgraded, state-of-the-art photovoltaic electric system, water catchment with oversized storage tank, propane tank, back-up generator, plus an ample storage building & carport. It’s easy to fill up an entire week (or more, really!) exploring, recreating and sightseeing in Kipahulu, without ever leaving its two-mile stretch. A leisurely, 10-minute walk brings you to the area’s most famous attraction -- Haleakala National Park. The Park features the legendary Pools of Oheo, the Pipiwai Trail that meanders through a Bamboo Forest, and the breathtaking 400’ Waimoku Falls. Lesser-known trails in The Park lead to protected tidal pools, oceanside and streamside trails. Outside The Park, Kipahulu offers access, via six community easements, to fresh water pools and other notable ocean locations, as well as numerous historic sites with significant Hawaiian archeology. Access to the sites along these easements is exclusively for local residents only, making for an extra special perk for those who live here. A short, scenic drive will take you to Hana town. Besides its small-town charm, there are most of the services you will need. Hana is also home to Hamoa Beach, which is often listed as one of Hawaii’s top ten beaches. Other gems in the Hana area are the hidden Red Sands Beach, and black sand beaches at Wai?anapanapa State Beach Park. Also nearby is the Kaupo Gap Trail. Its rugged path leads to the summit headquarters of Haleakala National Park, and is a favorite for avid hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. Kipahulu is unparalleled for its mild climate, lush vegetation, streams, and waterfalls. The area is protected by the Kipahulu Forest Preserve above and Haleakala National Park to the East. It’s truly one of Hawaii’s last unspoiled places.
