Tucked away in the lush greenery of Fern Forest, this cozy 1-bedroom, ¼-bath home offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by native plants, fruit trees, and herbs. Designed for simple, sustainable living, the property combines off-grid functionality with the beauty of Hawai‘i’s natural landscape.
Enjoy energy independence with a solar system featuring 4 panels and 4 batteries, plus a brand-new water catchment tank to keep your home running efficiently year-round. Rinse off beneath the stars in your outdoor shower, or spend your afternoons tending to plants inside the hoop-style greenhouse, where warmth and light nurture your favorite tropicals and herbs.
With 3 acres of fertile volcanic soil, there’s plenty of space to expand, cultivate, or simply relax and listen to the forest come alive around you. On a clear day, take in a beautiful view of Mauna Kea, standing proudly in the distance as a reminder of the island’s majestic energy. Wake up to the sound of native birds, enjoy cool upland breezes through the ohia trees, and end your day under a canopy of stars.
The land has been thoughtfully planted with an impressive collection of tropical and edible species — including mountain apple, jackfruit, white guava, coconut palm, pink veregated lemon, yard-long ice cream bean, noni, mamaki, fig, breadfruit (‘ulu), green tea, raspberry hibiscus, black and white sapote, avocado, rainbow eucalyptus, Santa Rosa plum, shampoo ginger, curry tree, apple tree, grass tree, finger lime, tropical apricot, and tithonia sunflowers.
