Off-Grid Tropical Garden Retreat in Lower Puna Located in one of Puna's earliest subdivisions, this approximately 0.17-acre (7,440 sq ft) property offers a rare sense of freedom with no homeowners association. A road-maintenance association helps maintain access, with annual contributions made on a voluntary basis (buyer to verify). Conveniently located approximately 10 miles south of Pahoa and about 8 miles from the ocean, it offers easy access to shopping, services, and the coastline while maintaining a peaceful country setting. A 271 sq ft studio featuring a private bathroom with flush toilet and shower, surrounded by established garden areas and mature tropical plantings. Winding paths create a quiet, usable landscape well suited for gardening, homesteading, or relaxing. Grounds have supported a variety of crops over the years and offer strong potential for expanded food production. Gated and fenced on one side, with established hibiscus hedges creating privacy and enclosure, the property also borders a community garden with potential for adding a private gate or stile for direct access. A short walk down the main road brings you to the local trading post, where you can pick up coffee, ice, and everyday necessities. Powered by approximately 600 watts of rooftop solar panels, supported by 1,200-gallon catchment storage and propane appliances. Utilities are minimal, with propane serving as the primary ongoing expense. An open-air tropical kitchen designed for island living, with durable weatherproof enclosures that seal tightly when needed - open them for ventilation or close them during rain. A 20-foot high-cube shipping container is included, ideal for storage, workshop, studio, office, or future guest space. A unique opportunity for gardeners, artists, or homesteaders seeking a simpler, more self-directed lifestyle.
