Built in 2025 with numerous upgrades, it's so close to new you can feel it! At roughly 1,000 feet in elevation, you'll notice cooler temperatures and lower humidity. There’s easy access to amenities in Keaau, Kurtistown, Pahoa, and even Hilo. From paved Moho Road you’ll enter through the decorative metal gate. Approaching the home, you are welcomed by a large 230 sqft covered lanai with beautiful wood accent walls. Step inside to vaulted ceilings and an open layout that keeps everyone in the conversation — kitchen, dining, and living all flow together around beautiful built-in shelving and a custom entertainment wall with electric fireplace. The kitchen has stainless appliances, designer stone counters, and glass-front cabinetry, ready for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings. All three bedrooms are generously sized — two comfortably fit a king bed — each with its own recessed ceiling of a warm tongue and groove accent. The primary suite is where you'll actually WANT to end your day: a soaking tub plus a zero-threshold shower, walk-in closet with built in storage, and private lanai access. The other two bedrooms could easily flex into guest space or a work-from-home setup. The spacious 310 sqft back lanai is perfect for unwinding in the evening and even comes fitted with sun shades for extra comfort on sunny afternoons. Add to all of this an oversized pantry, indoor laundry with utility sink, and an attached two-car garage with storage, and life just feels right. The mostly cleared 3-acre lot has a newly seeded lawn around the house that’s taking root, several raised garden beds awaiting soil and your food garden plans, multiple newly planted bananas and more — plus plenty of open space to grow. From morning coffee on the front lanai to unwinding in the back, this is a home waiting to become part of your everyday life.
