Two Homes on 1.16 Acres in Rural Kaiwiki, Near Hilo Here's a rare find, two homes on one gorgeous 1.16-acre parcel in quiet, cool Kaiwiki, just a short drive from Hilo. The main home is a spacious two-story with open beams and four bedrooms, with ocean horizon views from the living room, kitchen, and lanai. There's a local park about a mile down the road, and the grounds themselves are a big part of the appeal including many areas for planting and gardening. This property is currently mid-renovation. Some areas have already been remodeled while others have been prepped and are ready for the next phase with all carpets having been pulled out. There's still work to do to get it back to full living condition, but that also means there's a real opportunity here to finish it out exactly how you want it. The first home is a 1959 plantation-style home with three bedrooms and a lot of character. A new rood was added in February 2017, and the ocean horizon views over Hilo from the living areas and front of the property are hard to beat. The second home was built in 1994 and offers those same ocean horizon views from the living room, dining area, and kitchen. It's solid wood construction with an open-beam living area and vaulted ceilings that give it a really airy feel. The kitchen is generously sized with a breakfast bar that opens right up to the dining area. The primary suite gets tons of natural light from its windows, has a bathroom with a long counter, a walk-in closet, and even an extra nook with yard views. There's also a full garage with laundry, and one of the bedrooms is conveniently located downstairs.

Inside, the craftsmanship is immediate: vaulted wood ceilings, refinished oak floors, and distinctive windows that pull in natural light and garden views. The main level offers two welcoming bedrooms, an updated bath with a Kohler walk-in shower, and a refreshed kitchen with granite counters, oak cabinetry, and stained-glass accents. A versatile wing at the back of the home includes a wet bar, gas cooktop, sink, and bonus room—ideal for a private guest suite, hosted rental, workspace, or multi-generational setup with its own exterior entrance. The primary bedroom occupies the upper level with an office nook, remodeled full bath, and views of Hilo town and the ocean horizon.

The greenhouse offers real sustainability potential for vegetables, orchids, or a yoga or wellness space, and it can also serve as a creative studio or day-spa concept. Hand-selected shiplap redwood siding, antique nautical lighting, English stained glass, crystal chandeliers, and quality masonry highlight the home’s unique personality. Parking includes an enclosed two-car garage, separate carport, and additional guest-suite parking. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, this home is truly one-of-a-kind—rich in detail, full of possibility, and perfectly positioned in Kaumana City.
