Big Island

Beautifully Maintained Home on An Oversized Lot in Keaau

Discover the charm and privacy of this oversized and landscaped 1.39-acre lot with a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home. Thoughtfully renovated over the years, this home seamlessly blends comfort and functionality and has extra space to enjoy what makes you tick.

Located on the upper floor, a large space previously used as a dance studio would make a beautiful primary bedroom, art studio, yoga studio or play space! It could also be repurposed into two additional bedrooms. Fenced and fully planted with your tropical favorites, the home enjoys privacy not found in new construction.


Indoor/outdoor living is a highlight here, with two inviting screened-in lanais. The upstairs lanai, connected to the flex room, offers a peaceful spot to enjoy the view of the lushly landscaped property. The downstairs lanai is perfect for entertaining guests, complete with a hot tub and outdoor shower for those relaxing evenings under the stars.

Set on a generous 1.39-acre parcel, this property is a gardener’s dream. Explore over 100 white pineapples, avocados, apple bananas, and a variety of citrus trees, including Tahitian grapefruit, navel orange, and Meyer lemon. For those who appreciate floral beauty, the yard is adorned with hundreds of orchids and a Ylang-Ylang tree, known for its fragrant blooms.
