The Tree House: Escape the heat, traffic and stress on this 41-acre Hamakua ranch. Custom-designed, modernist cement, glass and steel home on 13’ columns, in the style of Le Corbusier, with spectacular views of the native forest, ocean, Maui, and the cosmos. This park-like property, with fully accessible terrain, is easy to maintain, fully hog-wire fenced and designed for privacy and self-sufficiency with state-of the-art solar system, cement driveway, cement catchment, ohia post and beam 20x30 greenhouse, barn, sawmill and kiln.
Home has two bedrooms, each with lanai access, concrete floors, cement plasterwork walls, teak trim, cedar closet, cedar stairs, ohia railings, 12' ceilings and floor-to-ceiling anodized Fleetwood Windows. Bath has granite walls, mid-century fixtures, double sinks, wall-mounted toilet and glass-enclosed shower for easy cleaning. Living room has massive curio cabinets, mid-century Milo Baughman rosewood sectional sofa, Indich Collection rugs in the living and bedrooms and other carefully curated modernist pieces.
The ranch has two secluded, raised ohia camping platforms built by local artisans with full amenities: full beds, showers, toilets--for your guests--invite friends and family without having them invade your home. The structures offer clear roofs for unparalleled views of the night sky untouched by light pollution...spot rare honeycreepers from the platforms’ ranch-milled decks. A short walk takes you to the magical ‘ana’ or secret fern grotto or view the sunset over Maui from the top of the property.
Fruits include: grape, peach, nectarine, Dorsett apple, pomegranate, lemon, orange, avocado, fig, pear, plum, coffee and persimmon.
This property is at 3100’ affording it excellent weather, but its access on a 2-lane paved road makes it only 10 minutes from the highway--20 minutes to charming Honokaa with its pool, restaurants, hospital, and schools…Waimea and the South Kohala resort beaches are 40 min to an hour drive.
