A brand new 2-bedroom, 1-bath, approx. 600 sq ft cottage with 200 sq ft lanai, on a landscaped 1/4-acre lot with young tropical plantings, including coconut and banana trees. Located in Kiolakaa Homesite Subdivision near Naʻalehu on the South Big Island, this home gives you a great head start and lets you finish it exactly the way you want.The hard work is done: cleared and bulldozed house pad, gravel driveway, and a modern single-slope roof that creates a light, airy, cathedral-style feel in the open kitchen, living and dining area. Dual-pane windows, exterior siding and trim are in place, plus a spacious covered front lanai that extends your living area outdoors and catches the cool Kaʻū tradewinds.Inside, the open framing makes it easy to design your ideal interior and choose your finishes—sheetrock, board-and-batten or paneling on the walls; hardwood, tile or other flooring; plus the cabinets, countertops and colors that match your style. This is an excellent opportunity for a buyer who wants a “head start” build instead of beginning with raw land.Just south of historic Naʻalehu, you are minutes from everyday essentials including post office, bank, gas, small markets, hardware and the famous Punaluʻu Bake Shop. A short drive takes you to Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, South Point (Ka Lae) and the trail to Papakōlea Green Sand Beach—some of the most iconic and unspoiled coastlines on the Big Island—while still enjoying the peaceful country feel of Kaʻū.Cesspool and catchment tank can be added by the seller for an additional fee. Note: Interior systems are not yet installed; there is currently no plumbing or electrical in place.
