Step back in time with this charming old-growth lumber cabin nestled on approximately 2.5 acres in the lush tropical landscape of Waa Waa, along the eastern coast of Hawaiʻi Island. Built with redwood, cedar, and ʻōhiʻa, this unique property offers rustic character, privacy, and an opportunity to restore a piece of old Hawaiʻi. A covered portico welcomes you into the kitchen, offering a blank canvas for renovation and the opportunity to create a space tailored to your needs. The home's layout includes two rooms previously used as bedrooms, one bathroom, and a spacious living area featuring soaring vaulted ceilings that create an open, airy atmosphere. A staircase leads to a 288-square-foot loft, formerly used as an office and ham radio station, with additional storage conveniently tucked beneath the stairs. Beautiful straight-grain, old-growth wood siding extends throughout much of the interior, showcasing the natural warmth, craftsmanship, and character of the home's construction. Situated near the end of a quiet road, the property offers a peaceful, tucked-away setting surrounded by tropical greenery. The approximately 1,431-square-foot structure provides a starting point for those looking to renovate, restore, or create their own off-grid retreat. Two concrete water catchment tanks, with a combined capacity of approximately 15,000 gallons, are located on the property. The area's abundant rainfall offers opportunities for water collection, while periods of sunshine provide potential for solar power. Architectural plans are also available for review. With approximately 2.5 acres to explore, there is plenty of room to garden and keep animals. Whether you're seeking a private getaway, a restoration project, or a peaceful rural lifestyle, this distinctive Waa Waa property offers an opportunity to make something truly your own.
