12-306 Pohakupele Loop Pahoa, Hawaii 96778

This beautiful private sanctuary is tucked away in the lush jungles of Seaview, secured behind a gated entrance.
Two fully screened-in rooms are separated by a covered lanai, totaling approximately 350 sq. ft., with loft spaces above both rooms. Distinctive “ghost wood” siding blends seamlessly with the jungle setting, while local hardwoods add warmth and character throughout.
An additional screened-in 120 sq ft room sits gracefully among towering Ohia trees, ti plants, and ferns. The covered lanai, workspace, and bathing area expand the functionality of this off-grid retreat.
Water is collected from 3 separate roofs into a large capacity gallon tank. Equipped with first-flush diverters, multi-stage screening, and a high-quality filtration system, the water supply is both abundant and reliable.
Power comes from four 330-watt, 24v solar panels paired with two 100ah 24v batteries – more than sufficient for comfortable, small-footprint living. Everything on the property is designed with sustainability in mind, with recycling and composting integrated into daily life.
The surrounding old-growth Hala forest creates a shaded canopy, keeping the land cool while allowing dappled sunlight to nourish the diverse array of tropical plants and food crops. Winding trails meander through the forest, creating an enchanting setting.
Wildlife abounds here: coqui frogs sing at dusk, geckos dart among the trees, and native birds thrive. The endangered Hawaiian hawk (‘Io) is a frequent visitor, soaring gracefully above the property. Three magnificent Ohia trees – believed to be over 100 years old and nearly 60 feet tall – stand as guardians of this magical landscape.
It is currently a small nursery. The owner has been propagating native plants to sell at local farmers' markets or a small stand out front. It is ready for someone to take over.
For those seeking even more privacy and possibilities, the adjoining lot is also available for purchase.
