16-1396 36th Ave Kurtistown, HI 96760

You know what's located on 36th Ave? Not much, unless you like a lot of peace and quite because there is plenty of that. If you like peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Located on rural 36th Ave about mid-way between the roads of Laniuma Street and Pohaku Drive are two acres of paradise. ... That's what makes this location perfect for the rustic retreat built upon it. The lot itself is densely wooded with both rocky and grassy undulating terrain. There is an abundance of thick vegetation in the front of the lot, creating a wonderful screen at the road. Within the lot there are waiwi (strawberry guava), ohia, magnolia, and rainbow eucalyptus trees. With ample sunshine and rain, this is an ideal climate. Just about any tropical plants and fruits can grow in the area without extensive irrigation or greenhouses necessary. The primary structure is the yurt (circular tent structure with semi-rigid sides) in the approximate center of the property where the kitchen, main living space, and sleeping are housed. Behind the yurt is a covered lanai with attached bathroom accommodations. In addition to the yurt and accessory structures in the back are the twin cabins in the front third of the property. Each cabin has its own covered front porch and they share the bathhouse structure that is situated between them. Catchment water and solar power are key to the sustainability of the property. Orchid Land Estates is located: close to Pahoa and Keaau. Shopping, necessities, government services, schools, parks, the Pacific Ocean, and so much more are just a short drive from the property. Hilo town is a little further away, and provides the bigger conveniences you may need: the Hilo Medical Center, University of Hawaii at Hilo, the historic Palace Theater, and the Hilo International Airport are but a few.
