Property Description

Tucked away behind a gated 300-foot driveway, this one-bedroom, one-bath home sits in a secluded garden sanctuary with an extraordinary variegated banyan tree as the centerpiece. In the shade of the banyan tree you'll find orchids, brilliant red anthuriums, bromeliads, ti, crotons, and ferns weaving a living tapestry, with pathways that wander past fruit trees and open spaces waiting to be explored. The home itself is compact, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed for island living. A 300 sq ft great room brings together the kitchenette, dining and living areas in one open space filled with light. The 190 sq ft bedroom includes a reading nook and workspace, and the recently updated bathroom features a tiled shower and modern finishes. A new covered lanaiapproximately 10 32 feetextends the living space outdoors, perfect for reading in the shade, afternoon BBQs or just listening to the patter of the tropical rain across the garden canopy. Systems and Features Water: Rain catchment system with triple Big Blue filtration no water bill. Power: 48-volt solar system with six 365 W panels and 5.12 kWh LiFePO battery SSPP is already paid and poles are installed if you prefer grid connection. Internet: High-speed Hawaiian Telcom fiber. Food: Fruit trees include avocado, lychee, mango, jackfruit, breadfruit, orange, lemon, loquat, star apple, macadamia nut, ice cream bean, clove, cinnamon and allspice.
