Description

Off-Grid, Tropical Sanctuary, well suited for an eco village, family or group of friends to share and enjoy the fruits of the labor the sellers have built.

Property is approx 15 minutes to Keaau town with shopping centers, police, post office and 30 mins to Hilo with airport, university, hospital and the beautiful beaches of Hilo. Internet is currently provided by Hawaiian Telcom fiber optic and cell phone coverage is good. Cash only as the structures were built without permits. No seller financing at this time.
