28-646 Kaupakuea Homestead Rd Pepeekeo, Hawaii 96783

Discover your private 23-acre retreat just 8 miles from Hilo–only a 15-minute drive to the edge of town and 25 minutes to five beautiful beach parks. Tucked away at the end of a long 1,500-ft. flat gravel driveway (owned, not an easement), this unique property offers space, privacy, and multiple income-producing opportunities.

The main residence is a lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath solar-powered home with a 1,310 sq. ft. floor plan, Brazilian Koa hardwood floors, a brand-new Trex deck (2024/2025), and sweeping views of the ocean on one side and Mauna Kea on the other. The home is fully self-sufficient with a catchment water system and dual 3,000-gallon tanks.

Surrounding the house is a lush 1-acre orchard with 20+ fruit trees, including mango, coconut, cacao, longan, pink grapefruit, Brazilian cherry, soursop, white sapote, abiu, navel orange, breadfruit, and more.

Adding to the versatility of the property is a charming 12’x24’ classic tiny home with post-and-pier construction, a big kitchen window framing ocean views, and its own mini catchment system. This unit has previously rented for $1,100/month. There’s also an additional unpermitted 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage (approx. 480 sq. ft.), formerly rented for $1,550/month, plus a 488 sq. ft. shed and another 480 sq. ft. outbuilding–ideal for storage, workshops, or creative space.

This property combines sustainable living with income potential, abundant natural beauty, and close proximity to Hilo’s shopping, dining, and culture. A rare opportunity to own a true Hawaiian homestead.
