Set against the beautiful backdrop of Waimea’s rolling green hills and distinctive puʻu, 65-1542 Kawaihae Road offers an opportunity to own a classic Hawai'i plantation-style home in the highly sought-after dry side of Waimea. Built in the early 1960's, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath single-wall home reflects the character and simplicity of an earlier era in Hawaiʻi, with a comfortable footprint and plenty of potential for a new owner to thoughtfully refresh and make it their own. Here, location takes center stage. Enjoy Waimea’s cooler upcountry climate while benefiting from the sunnier conditions of the dry side, along with picturesque views of the surrounding puʻu and the beautiful sight of mist rolling across the hills and mountains in the distance. It’s a setting that captures so much of what makes Waimea special—open landscapes, changing skies, crisp mornings, and a relaxed country lifestyle. Conveniently located near the heart of Waimea, the property provides easy access to shopping, dining, medical facilities and many of the area’s schools, including Hawaiʻi Preparatory Academy, Parker School, Waimea Country School, Waimea Elementary School and Kanu o ka ʻĀina. The Kohala Coast and its beaches, resorts and recreation are also within convenient driving distance. While the home is being sold AS-IS and is ready for updates with a discerning eye, its character, setting and location provide a wonderful foundation for what comes next. Whether preserving its plantation-style charm or thoughtfully reimagining it for modern living, this is an opportunity to create a home that feels distinctly your own in one of Hawaiʻi Island’s most beloved upcountry communities.
