About this property
Spectacular Views and Natural Beauty
On the slopes of Mauna Kea, at 1200’ above the little town of Honomu is located the great waterfall of Akaka. Nearby, on top a hill is our private little piece of paradise. The house overlooks a vast swath of East Hawaii. From the blue of Hilo Bay to the mountain top of Mauna Kea , and across miles of the Hamakua Coast. You can see sights of verdant splendor from this home which sits on fifteen acres that borders a stream. This idyllic setting and the comfort of this home gives your spirit a lift. You 'get away from it all feel'.
Main house Upstairs has private entry and exclusive use of hot tub and lanai. There are three bedrooms and two baths, a fully equipped kitchen , dining area with seating for 6 people. Open lanai has a hot tub for relaxation after a long day enjoying the sights.
Main bedroom has king size bed, adjoining bathroom. The other two guest bedrooms have queen sized beds that share a full bath. Each room has an incredible view.
When you see this property, you will agree that it is one of a kind. Said to have one of the best views on the island, you feel like you are on Top of the World.
Akaka Farms is currently a working farm. We have a few animals, 2 adorable donkeys and several cats that only reside outside downstairs. Alec, one of owners is busy planting ground crops year around for the local markets. The emphasis is on biodynamic gardening.
Your privacy and personal enjoyment are our number one goals. Enjoy, relax and have fun.
The property sits on 15 acres with a gated entry.
NOTE: A private first floor area is occupied by Host/manager/owner.
