Organic food-forest mini farm on Hawai?i Island’s rural South Side, this permitted 1-bedroom/1-bath home sits on approximately one-third acre of rich volcanic soil, thoughtfully planted and lovingly maintained. The property is served by a private septic system and a 10,000 gallon water catchment tank and has the feel of a simple, efficient island home paired with an abundant backyard homestead. Designed as an organic, low-chemical landscape, the gardens support year-round harvests and a healthy, pollinator-friendly environment, with pathways that wind through the trees to shady spots for relaxing and gathering fruit.
