About this property
Private home across the street from the beach. Minutes from downtown Hilo
This extraordinary property is across the street from the most beautiful beaches in Hilo. This property, with multiple Ka Wai Ola, (Living Springs) offers you all that Hawaii Island has to offer. Once only a place for Hawaii's royalty, we offer this very special property with historical and cultural significance. Beautiful ocean, offering wonderful views and the sweet sound of waves breaking on the rocks. The pristine ponds on the property rise and fall with the tide where you can swim and lounge in privacy.
Newly remodeled, and renovated, designed by Keala Wolf, and maintaining the look and feel of the "old Hawaii", there's no better place to experience what it means to be part of the Hawaiian culture. Immerse yourself in a magical place, and find the peace only available by the ocean in Leleiwi on Hawaii island.
The Nature Conservancy along with the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and the University of Hawaii at Hilo are conducting a global climate study at this very special property.
**Each bedroom has Air Conditioning Double pane windows and Private bathroom.
**All bedrooms have Serta Presidential mattresses.
**Custom Living Room Furniture.
**Reclaimed teak dinning table sitting 8.
**Bar B Que
**Hardwood floors
A new security system looks out onto the grounds and street beyond. No cameras see the house or lanai.
The house has an unusual configuration. The back two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and A/C, are accessed from the covered lanai, and therefore have their own entrances. Tweens and teenagers love it, but it might be inappropriate for small children. We have an unfenced pond so you have to keep an eye on them. Nevertheless we have hosted many.
