The Summit House is perfect for a large, multi-generational family compound or your own private hideaway in the Hawaiian highlands. The original 1920 homestead has been artfully updated, all permits completed, with modern conveniences that blend seamlessly into the historic structure and capture the essence of island style, indoor-outdoor living. Over 3 acres with, RS-20 zoning allows for several additional dwellings ( check with Hi county planning), and newly built infrastructure includes a 10,000gallon in-ground cement catchment, septic tank/leach field and new driveway to access the two densely forested back acres. This 3 bedroom, 3 bath residence is located in a central part of Volcano Village, convenient to the Cooper Center Farmers Markets and close to the main entrance of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Covered walkways, with gazebo seating, bring you into the home from both the lower living and upper-level bedroom entry areas. Modern fireplaces on both levels provide warmth and comfort on chilly mountain evenings. Perfectly set up to host guests, the primary bedroom is designed as a separate lock-off unit, resort style, with private bathroom, kitchenette/laundry room and covered lanai (12 x 12) overlooking the lush native forest. The original wood floors and open beam ceilings have been meticulously re-finished and reclaimed redwood from the original water tank has been milled and repurposed in the finish crafting of the interior. Another artistic touch includes live-edge mango wood slabs that have been custom built into “lava flow” tables with integrated LED lighting. ~ Totally new 200 amp electrical system. ~ Totally new plumbing and wastewater (septic) system. ~ Takagi on-demand gas water heater. ~ Ultra Violet (UV) water purification system. ~ 900+ sq. ft of covered and enclosed storage areas. ~ The lower living area with daybed could serve as a 4th possibly, private bedroom.
