VIEWS, LOCATION, VALUE
Ocean properties with views this good from every room, in a community of this quality, at this price, are very, very rare. The house is a distinctive design of redwood and fir, with high ceilings, open and bright.
It comes with teak furniture, washer and dryer, dishwasher, ceiling fans, flat screen high definition TV, HD DVR, DVD, surround sound, wi-fi internet, barbecue, and bamboo lanai. Kehena Beach is a quiet, diverse community of writers, artists, and professionals who love their privacy; most would prefer that the world not discover their little gem of a beach community, a part of Old Hawaii that is increasingly scarce. Drive south of Hilo on Highway 130, past macadamia groves, forest reserve, orchid and anthurium farms, until you reach the ocean. Follow the Kalapana-Kapoho road, also called the Red Road or Sacred Road, one of America?s most scenic roads. The road follows the shore, past numerous scenic ocean lookouts, hot ponds and fishing spots, through ironwood forests and under mango trees, past hidden estates and papaya farms. There?s a boat dock, a surfing spot, and tide pools. It?s a great road for cycling. Kehena Beach lies in a lush green oasis. In winter and spring, lie in bed at night and listen to the humpback whales cavorting in the ocean. They sound like they are right under your window. The surf sings you to sleep. The house is a five minute walk from the area?s only swimmable black sand beach where you can swim with dolphins. It?s an even shorter walk to a hidden jungle trail that leads to a secret sandy beach above the ocean cliff. Directly west is state forest preserve, and above Kehena Beach Estates is a large archeological preserve. The yard contains five varieties of fragrant gardenia, banana trees, hibiscus, plumeria, and passion fruit. No other house on the street is within 150 thousand dollars of this price, and likely never will be again.
