Description

This stunning contemporary home is the flagship Hawaii creation of AIA award-winning architect Craig Steely. Lavaflow1 has been featured on the front page of the New York Times and numerous other publications. It is a turnkey permitted vacation rental nestled between dramatic lava fields and lush tropical gardens with expansive ocean views beyond, offering a place of intentional peacefulness and unparalleled beauty. Located in the coastal community of Puna Beach Palisades on the spectacular East Hawaii Coastline minutes from black sand beaches, azure blue ocean, and lush jungle; this is the perfect setting to unwind and renew the mind, body and spirit. The focal point of the property is a 30,000-gallon in-ground saltwater pool, surrounded by the structure’s two wings linked by a covered walkway. In front, the 820sf private guest suite w/full bath, patio & garage/workshop; To the rear, the 2800sf, 2-story main house w/walls of windows, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, office, formal dining room, 2 living rooms and grand covered lanai. Attention to detail is evident throughout in the clean lines, soothing colors, updated interior and more! The home’s gourmet kitchen has beautiful cabinetry, Jurassic granite counter tops, 3 sinks & high-end stainless appliances. A Mango wood cantilevered stairway leads to the primary suite and study, each with sweeping views. A favorite place to entertain or enjoy the quiet beauty around you is the 800 sqft lanai with its uninterrupted views over pristine lava fields and the ocean beyond. To the other side of the lanai is a stunning glass-enclosed room with a variety of uses, bedroom, living room, yoga room, with pool views and garden vistas to the south and lava scape to the north. The current owner has extensively refurbished and upgraded the home, including adding an owned robust solar system. Adjoining improved lot is also for sale!! Kehena Beach is a short few minutes away. Pahoa Town is a short 20 minute drive away.
