Be amazed by vast ocean and Laupahoehoe Point views from this tastefully restored 1970 redwood home perched high above the Hamakua Coast. From the moment you walk in, it feels as though you’re stepping straight toward the ocean — the horizon filling the living room and the trade winds moving softly through. The owners added a covered lanai completely around the home, offering seemingly endless ocean views and a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor living. Inside, the timeless craftsmanship of the original build shines through: redwood walls, pine ceilings, and hardwood floors, all restored to their vintage charm. Updates include some newer appliances, fixtures, doors, an electric water heater, and quartz countertops. Both bathrooms feature ceramic tile; one with a classic cast-iron tub and shower. Set among tangerine and avocado trees, this property captures the essence of old-Hawai‘i island living — serene, simple, and immersed in nature. Watch whales from your lanai, hear the ocean’s ever-changing rhythm, and feel the calm that comes from being perched above one of the island’s most dramatic coastlines.
