A unique opportunity on Hawaiʻi Island brings together three, side by side, 3-acre wooded parcels for a total of approximately 9 acres, with a permitted home located on the center lot. The original home design was created by an astronomer, with a large wraparound deck created for evenings spent stargazing beneath the forest canopy. The acreage offers a rich mix of tropical and native vegetation, including anthuriums, ornamentals, native ʻōhiʻa trees, ki'e ki'e, ti, hāpuʻu ferns, and mature bamboo. Cool breezes move through the bamboo and surrounding forest at this higher elevation. The three separate parcels offer many options. The two story permitted cabin needs repairs and offers an opportunity to restore and update an existing permitted home. Inside, a central wood burning fireplace finished in lava rock creates a strong focal point. Open beam construction and a sweeping vaulted ceiling add volume and character to the interior. The wraparound deck extends the living space outdoors and connects the home to its wooded surroundings. Located in Fern Forest Vacation Estates in the Puna District, the property offers acreage, established vegetation, and the character of a cabin setting on Hawaiʻi Island. With approximately 9 acres across three side by side lots, this property features privacy, room for creative land use, and a hands-on restoration project. The wooded acreage provides room around the home site and preserves the property's natural character. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities of restoring this distinctively forest home.
