E komo mai. Welcome to Paradise. This rural property in Lower Puna is perfect for guests seeking adventure and out of doors living for their vacation get-away.

Our Hale and detached studio Ohana (separate guest house) are located on a private road in the beautiful Leilani Estates Subdivision on a secluded one acre lot, offering the perfect location to enjoy all that the Big Island of Hawaii has to offer.

Perfect for a couple or up to 4 people, we offer Hale Lezarde with Master Suite including a king sized bed and a jetted tub in the master bath, and a queen sized bed in the second bedroom with its own full bath. Hale Lezarde has a comfortable split floor plan for privacy, with a large, open living room, dining area and a spacious kitchen, with ceramic tile flooring throughout. A large, island style screened in lanai is located off the kitchen for dining or relaxing..

The detached studio Ohana (separate Guest House) is separated from the main house by a covered outdoor breezeway and offers private accommodation for up to 4 additional people in one open space, with a twin over double bed bunk and a full size futon. The Ohana has a kitchenette with refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster and microwave and a 3/4 bathroom with shower. A perfect place for children or relatives traveling with you, the Ohana is a great way to provide for extra guests and provide more privacy for the main house. The Ohana cannot be rented separately from the main house.

Hale Lezarde is set back on the lot for privacy in a beautiful rain forest setting. The secluded one acre lot is landscaped with Hapu'u ferns, Ohia trees and palm trees and abundant flowering plants including anthurium, gardenia and ginger.

Exquisite stay
This is a beautiful property, so clean and the surrounding gardens are lush and full of flowers and birds. Well set up and we had nothing missing. A deal for the price. As there were only the two of us we didn’t use the ohana, but this place would have been roomy for 5-6 people. We really loved it here. Restful and quiet. We hope to come again!

Come, be part of the Story.

Why they chose this property

After bringing a group of friends to the Big Island in May 2012 for the Transit of Venus, we found we had an extra week to ourselves and Mark suggested that we look at lots with a plan to build 'some day'. But when we found Hale Lezarde, we knew we had found our dream home in paradise! Hale Lezarde has all the features that we were looking for in a vacation home: The peace and tranquility of a secluded and private one acre lot, a home with Ohana providing plenty of room for family and friends, and the location in the Puna District of the Big Island with it's unique natural beauty and energy.

What makes this property unique

We have traveled the world extensively and have never found a place more beautiful or more relaxing than the Puna District of Hawai'i. The swimming and snorkeling are amazing and the water is always warm! We love the weekly markets looking for bargains and especially the Wednesday Night Market at Uncle Robert's in Kalapana, where the party is always jumping and you always feel like family. Kaleo's in Pahoa Town has become our favorite restaurant and we celebrated Thanksgiving there in 2012! We hope you will be our guests at Hale Lezarde and experience the beauty of the rain forest and the serenity of being on Island Time!
