5 Acres Ocean Views and Kona Sunsets in a Gated Holualoa Community

Aloha everybody. This is your first time to the channel. I'm Mike Drutar, Principal Broker of Next Zone Paradise Realty. I'm bringing you a property tour today. We are in Hualalai Farms checking out this incredible five acre property listed by Penn Henderson in our office. We are up in a high elevation where it is comfortable and cool and this is Kona coffee country. I'm going to show you the inside and the outside of this property. I'm going to look over the five acres. This isn't your typical five acres. There's been a lot of site work done here so I can definitely envision someone coming in here and putting together their coffee farm because we've got a lot of terracing. The parcel right next to us already has a working coffee farm. It's a pretty unique opportunity. I think you're going to like what we have to show you on this one. If you like privacy, if you like space, you like Hawaii, this might be one for you. Let's go check it out. Okay I want to give you the lay of the land here a little bit on this property. The five acres got a lot to think about. So down below us there is the road and this property has a gate at the bottom of the road and then we have a concrete driveway that meanders on up to the building pad where the house is right here. And just I'd say it's about a quarter of the way up the property, maybe a third. Then we have a whole bunch more property up above us there. So when you come in, you have a two-car garage, you have a staircase you can take up right there and you have another staircase on the other side. Now previous owners had this property and when they got it, that was the staircase the one you see over there on the right. I'm going to get a little bit closer so you can see that a little bit better. That was the main staircase going into the property. They added this entry up here so that if you wanted to park up top or your guests came up top, they wouldn't have to use any stairs to get to the house. Which is a really smart thing. Gives you a really nice entrance there. You're going to see a number of these pads down below where you could put coffee or citrus trees or whatever you want. We're on Poston Pier here and this one's done right with a lot of bracing. There's a lot of space underneath the main house where you could, if you wanted to, add on. A lot of people are looking for ways to do multi-generational living and this is one that you could do some of that. You have a nice green color on the exterior. Two car garage in here. There's a riding lawnmower. Five acres to mow. You can do it. You can pay someone to do it. I believe the lawnmower is probably going to be coming with the property. We got our hot water heater over there. I'm going to come up this staircase. You could go up the other one. Now what I like about coming up here is that you get that entrance that we had or that we have, I should say, at the front. So when your guests come over or if you're parking out here, you have this section. Now I can see, oh boy, phone's going off here guys. Hopefully it's one of you guys calling me telling me you need me to do some work for you. I can see someone putting a two-car garage, three-car garage or something like that over here. We got a pad for it. That'd be great. And then no stairs for you at all. You could walk right in over here. And then you could use the bottom just as a workshop, some farm equipment, things like that. Got these ohia posts right at the entrance. Really very impressive. This covered walkway coming in. Really like it. By the way, stay all the way till the end. You'll get my three favorite things. The one thing I would change or add, this was mine. So down below us here and on our wraparound lanai that we have over on the other side of the house, we have our Trex decking, which is perfect. It does rain up here. We're at a high elevation. So there's some times where you're going to need some different products than you have at a lower elevation. Then into our front door. Well, I'm calling it the front door. It used to be the back door. Because it was the back door, there's a little bit of an interesting thing right here where you have a washer and dryer here. You can use the other section as a front door. That's originally the front door of the home. But that's where the entrance comes in at. Got some 18 by 18 tile here in this landing. And then we come here to our main living area. I'm gonna kick my shoes off because I think I was out there in the dusty rocks. Now this is one of those kind of octagon shaped houses here in this main area with wings off to the side. One thing that's super cool is that you have a really huge, huge space here. There's the original front door right over here. And people would take the staircase up over here from the garage down below. I like the setup that they have now though. Coming right in through that wonderful entry. So you got high ceilings in here. Just tons of space in this room. There's so many different things you can do. And then we have, if you want some heat, you can get this thing going. I like it. Yeah, we're at a high elevation. I know a lot of people don't realize that depending on where you are here on the mountain, it can get cool in Hawaii. Some of you know we actually do get snow. We're not that high. But if you're someone who gets hot, all you gotta do is come up the hill. All right, let's check out this kitchen. I think this is the Carrera. Countertop's really looking good. Lots of countertop space. Well done. We got our white shaker cabinets with black handles. And here we go with our GE oven and cooktop. Looks great. Nice low profile. Good job on that. And then with our drawers, we got our dovetail joints. We got our soft close. Good job on that. Oh, check it out. We even got the pullouts. Lots of usable space. Makes life easier. Good work on that. Stainless steel over here on our dishwasher. Large single basin sink. Nice and deep. Good working space. I like this little bay window that they put out here. This window box right here at the sink. And you get to see up your property. We're gonna make our way up there. I know some of you guys like checking out the land. Got our stainless steel Samsung refrigerator with freezer drawer down below over here. Good space. Good cabinet space above and below. Super functional. And of course, completely connected to the rest of our living space. This room absolutely flooded in light with these windows letting so much light in. It's really nice. And wow, one, two, three skylights as well. So you have a couple lights in here, but I can tell you during the daytime, probably hardly even need them on. Let's turn around the corner here. We have an extra large pantry. What do you think? Lots of space there. That is a great size pantry. And then check out the primary bedroom. And then we'll go check out the lanai and then the other two bedrooms. Then I want to go down below the house. So show you all the space down there that you have to build basically a whole nother house if you want. And check out the property, the land for you if you stay all the way through. So this is the primary bedroom. Huge space. I don't want to estimate it and be wrong, but it feels like we're somewhere around 14 by 18, 12 by 18. It's going from me to that other wall is a good span. You could fit whatever you need in here. King size bed, large furniture, and a lot of light coming in here as well. You do have window treatments on this house, but you can kind of get away with not having them if you want because you have a ton of privacy. Now there's a bunch of stuff here in the closet just because in the moving process, but I do want to show you how deep this closet is. Good size on our walk-in closet room for everything that you need. And then over here to the bathrooms. Now I know a lot of people are going to see the bathrooms and they're going to say, hey it's time to update them. And you'd probably be right. Now there's nothing that you need to do to make this home functional and livable from day one. You can move in immediately, but if there's something you want to improve, I can see how some people may want to update the bathrooms. The good thing is you can do that on your timeline. You don't have to do it right away to move in and make it all livable. Okay, let's check out this lanai. Boy, there's a number of cool features out here. One, you can see a lot of the property up there. The big truck looks tiny because you have so much space. Nice clear blue skies in that direction. Getting a little bit later in the day. Sun's overhead, so you're not going to see quite as blue skies towards the ocean. You know, the side opposite the sun is the side that's going to look blue. Okay, out here, nice wide space. I like the lights that they did over in that section there. I bet it fires off really well at night. And it looks super natural. This green color is absolutely perfect out here blending with nature. And then we have a whole bunch of these. I think they're ohia posts going all the way around the lanai. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. And then they keep going. Stop counting at ten. Really cool. And then I like the cap that they put on here. Looks really, really nice. Then, one thing that's kind of cool. Let's say you have a dog. They have, previous owners made, a little doggie run that goes, a dog ramp that goes all the way down from the main area right here. I think that's awesome. Trex decking out here. So, we had a slider there that we came out over here in our primary. We have a another slider right here in to the main living area, gathering room. Gosh, so many opportunities and how you want to lay that out. And then, nice and wide over here with this lanai. Plenty of space for all kinds of outdoor furniture. I can imagine people spending a good deal of their time out here. Just because it is so nice and comfortable. Breezes coming through, keeping it cool. And then this lanai continues all the way around. I think I stopped counting at ten, like maybe at this one. Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen of these now. Here's the old front door. So, we've gone kind of full circle in here now. Going back inside to the main house or the main living room. The original staircase going down to the garage. And then our two guest bedrooms on this side. We'll come in through the lanai. So, all three of the bedrooms and a living room has access to the lanai. So, this is our bedroom number three. Smaller bedroom. You could fit a queen-size bed in here. No problem. They have it set up as a desk. Really well done. Got a closet over there on the right side. Ceiling fan. Looks great. Two panel door coming in. And then to our hallway, let me give you a little bit of an orientation. I'm going to spin back around for a moment just so you see exactly where we've come from. There's where we came in our front door. And then down this hallway, we had our first bedroom here on our left. Have bathroom number two over here on the right. If you do decide you're going to do the other bathroom, might as well do this one at the same time. And then bedroom number two, they got a queen-size bed here. I'm looking at it. No problem getting a king-size bed in here. It's wide enough for a eastern king bed. Long enough for a California king bed if that's what you'd like. Nice light coming through this window looking to the north with your closet over here. And then your slider back out to the lanai. Really good job. I'm going to go back in the house, grab my slippers, and I'll meet you downstairs to check out underneath this house where there's some pretty cool things that you should check out.

I'm heading downstairs on the newer staircase that was built to our garage. Plenty of parking. I mean you can park anywhere. There's so many open spots here. So it's back to our two-car garage. I usually don't always show you underneath the house, but this one has so much opportunity. I really can see someone taking advantage of this in a couple of different ways. Now one, you could just decide to turn this into a really good workshop area. Whether you're building up a wood deck and leveling it out or bringing in some concrete. So if you want to do a workshop, you got plenty of space for that. If you decided you want to do some different things upstairs, one thing that's a benefit of post and pier is that you have access to things. So you can run electric, you can run water lines, gas lines, drain lines, all of that here. You can't do that on a concrete foundation. Something to keep in mind. And then I can see someone coming in here and coming up maybe to this elevation right here of this giant footer and building a little guest unit down here. Or just, you know, additional living space for a larger family. You know the cost of housing is pretty bananas these days. And some of these young kids, I don't know how they can get it done. But I can see how someone would have a lower level area down here. Not have to spend near as much money and create a little two or three bedroom guest space or additional space for the kids as they get started building their life. I see that being multi-general housing and living being probably a growing segment of our market. Already has been for the few years. But I think it's going to keep going because the value of homes only keeps going up. Now previous owner did all this grading and putting in these giant rocks. All this site work they did. It would have cost a pretty penny. But this was his work. He had the equipment so he just did it. Really cool. Got our, what we call this flower guys? I think it's an anthurium. Really popular. And then we got our hapu fern. Got some bananas over here. We got some tea. More hapu fern. Saw a couple orange or tangerine trees over there. I'm going to go up to the top of the lot and look down. Show you what it looks like up there. Okay, I'm really glad I brought you guys up here to the top. It really is amazing how much site work they've done out here. Grading things out would be perfect pads for your coffee or whatever you want to grow. Now the current owner added this fencing all the way around the property. I think that was, if I remember correctly, something like fifty thousand dollars to do that. That is a big deal. And then we can see the neighboring parcel over there with all the coffee that they've got growing. Let's zoom in a little bit over here. There we go. So pretty easy to do coffee. This is in the Kona Coffee Belt. More pad down below to put coffee. Pretty good job. Really spectacular. And then let's walk this pad a little bit. Look back towards the house. You can see plenty of space over here on the side. Really just five acres is special. Now if you want to put crops and coffee and all that kind of stuff up here, you can do it. But you don't have to. If you want to leave it nice and open like this, you can do that too. It's really easy to access all of this property. You could drive over there as well. I just drove up to this pad and yeah, you keep driving all around. That is a pretty massive African tulip tree. That's about as big as I've seen. That's pretty spectacular. We got ohias on the property as well. People love those. Nice view of the house down below. Alright, time for my three favorite things and the one thing I would change or add if this was mine. Now, favorite thing number one is that you are on five acres in Kona for well, well, well, well below two million eight dollars. That is pretty rare these days. Having this space and the privacy that it affords is truly special and unique. Favorite thing number two is you got a home that's ready to go. You don't have to do anything to it to make it livable. You might want to change some things here or there but you don't have to. You know the median price in Kona right now is around 1.2 million dollars. I'll have the details for this home including the current price into the description below. You should check that out. Favorite thing number three is going to be the lanai space on this one. Really, it was just additional living space. When you're looking at that information that I have in the description, the square footage and all that stuff, it only covers the interior. Well, we do a lot of outdoor living here in Kona. Well, all of Hawaii and if you have that nice lanai space, that really is living space. You'll be out there and using it. Now, the one thing I would change or add, I know some people are going to say you need to update the bathroom and you can do that. I think I'm adding the garage on that pad. I kind of like the idea of it being up there, not having any stairs and then just having downstairs as the workshop. But if you want to do the bathroom, you could do that. If you wanted to do enclosing and utilizing that lower space for additional living, you could do that as well. You have a lot of options on what you can do to make this your own. I think it's a pretty unique opportunity. This is going to be a good one for someone. I suspect someone out there is waiting for something like this at a good price, at a good value and I think this might be the one for you. I'm Mike Jutar. I hope you like this video. I got more for you in the corner and I'll see you again real soon.
