Here is rural Hawai'i at its best! Set in the quiet Ranchos sub-division, this striking steel-frame home easily passes for new. Its wrap around lanai, floored with high-end eucalyptus, sets an upscale first impression. Recently remodeled to be a luxury BandB, the versatile layout affords possibilities for a fifth bedroom and two households. Entering the "Great Room" is dramatic. Its forty-foot length, four pairs of sliding glass doors, ocean views, lofty wood ceiling and cupola are an awesome mix. The fresh trade winds wafting through the sliders bring a gentle Hawaiian ambiance to a room ideal for entertaining. Simply add your favorite floor covering for the personal touch. The kitchen, while dated, is well-appointed. Feel inspired by its spectacular ocean views and natural cupola breezes. The master bedroom and two guest suites are exceptional. Each is spacious, has a walk-in closet, an attractive bathroom and an exterior door. Designed to gratify discerning BandB guests, these suites offer privacy and impressive features rarely found in a property at this price. The fourth bedroom, adjacent to the fourth bathroom, can be a hobby room or small bedroom. An elegant spiral staircase leads to the lower level. The spacious and versatile "family room" is presently used for a pool table, office, and seating area. The laundry room on the lower level is large enough to convert to a second kitchen, should two households wish to share the home. Outdoors, an oasis awaits. The triangle palms lining the driveway are just one of the 50 plant species (many native to Hawai'i) growing on the 4,000-year-old lava. The five mango trees yield a generous harvest of delicious fruit - easily enough to share with grateful friends. Don't miss the stunning rock walls, cute ag. shed, garage with ample secure storage, dual catchment system and repurposed pool. This is where you discover the magic of rural Hawaiian living - you won't want to leave!
