This breezy plantation-style home offers beautiful views of our bustling organic farm and the Kona coastline beyond. Tucked way among banana and mango trees, this private custom 2 bedroom/2 bath home boasts comfortable Cal King beds, fresh linens, vibrant plants, vintage island furnishings, a well-appointed kitchen, and welcoming outdoor living spaces. You can sample our organic farm produce in a welcome basket, as well as at nearby stores and restaurants a short walk away in Kealakekua village.
The space
This contemporary home built in Hawaii's traditional plantation style provides a central base to explore the dynamic Island of Hawaiʻi. Tucked away on a secluded corner of our family's vibrant 5-acre organic produce and coffee farm, guests enjoy a peaceful private farm stay just minutes away from Kealakekua village.
The sunny plant-filled open living area has bamboo flooring, modern rugs, and large windows that look out on banana forest, farm scape, and sweeping ocean views. Bright and well equipped kitchen and dining areas flow seamlessly with the peaceful living room and lounging area on the front lanai. The kitchen adjoins an outdoor living area with secluded yard and grilling area, surrounded by rustic tropical gardens.
Bedroom 1 has a large walk-in closet and attached full bath, and bedroom 2 includes a modern work space, ample closet area, and adjacent full bath. Both bedrooms have comfortable California king beds, fresh linens, and large windows looking out on lush tropical private exterior spaces.
To accommodate additional guests, the living room can be set up with a queen sofa bed, or arrangements can be made for a portable crib or two folding single futons.
Far from the sounds of traffic and commerce, guests are greeted in the morning by birdsong, wild chickens, and the stirrings of farm life. Sunset is heralded by the sound of birds returning to our nearby bamboo grove, and evenings often include a steady jungle chorus of chirping coqui frogs.
Guest access
Private off-street parking adjacent to the house accommodates up to 3 vehicles. Local shops and grocery store, restaurants, bars and other services are less than a mile away. The house is a half a mile from Kona’s main highway and is accessed by a paved one-lane private road that requires polite and careful driving, but requires no special clearance or 4-wheel drive.
Other things to note
This peaceful restorative space lends itself well to contemplative practices, and yoga mats props are provided for your use. The quiet neighborhood of small farms also lends itself to hill walking and exploring.
Nearby beaches offer stunning views and spectacular snorkeling. The house is well stocked with beach gear (towels, beach umbrella, beach blanket, chairs, cooler…). For ocean adventurers, body boards and snorkel gear are available as well.
Your hosts produce vibrant organic vegetables and fruit for top island restaurants and local grocery stores. Guests are welcomed with a sampling of local farm bounty, and our produce is available at nearby restaurants and markets as well. While this quiet home enjoys its own secluded corner of the property, guests can also enjoy a birds-eye view as our beautifully-maintained farm bustles with planting and harvest activities, visits from local restaurateurs, and conservation and community efforts.
