Our home/farm is situated along the Kona Heritage Corridor just 3 miles north of desirable Holualoa town. Holualoa is a quaint village populated by many talented artists. It boasts one fantastic restaurant and cafe, a post office, a library, a convenience store, a boutique, and lots of galleries.
Our guest apartment is located on the garden level of our home. It is similar to a mother-in-law apartment. In Hawaii they call it an "ohana", which means family. Listen to the tropical birds from your own 300-square-foot lanai (patio) surrounded by tropical plants. Inside over 600 square feet of living space welcomes you with everything you will need to make yourself at home.
The gentle mountain breezes keep our temperature between 70-80 year round degrees during the day. The winter months bring the coolest nights where temperatures can drop into the low 60's. This makes for very comfortable sleeping but also necessitates long sleeves in the evening and early mornings.
Be sure to enjoy the outdoor gazebo and hot tub surrounded by tropical plants. While there, check to see what needs picking in the vegetable garden. You can count on several varieties of lettuce year round. The green beans, eggplant, beets, and snap peas are generally in abundance as well. Fresh herbs are located in the circular garden inside the driveway. Depending on the time of year, you may find ripe avocados, papayas, lemons, limes, cherries, bananas, figs, oranges, tangerines, lychee, and lilikoi (passion fruit) on the property. We recently cleared 2 acres to plant coffee in the Spring of 2008.
Our home/farm is located in a private subdivision of five-acre properties. It is a safe, quiet, and beautiful neighborhood. The road is private and provides a great place for taking walks. Just across the coffee field one of our neighbors opened Mauka Mist, a healing therapies center in October of 2007 which you are welcome to patronize. You can schedule massages as well as attend yoga or tai chi classes. A motion pool and sauna are provided as well. Another neighbor offers fresh laid eggs from free range chickens.
We completed a remodel in December 2004. All the flooring, appliances, paint, and linens were replaced. The furniture was updated in September of 2007. Come and see for yourself. We look forward to meeting you and sharing our piece of paradise with you! |
