This charming custom built cottage offers privacy from road and forest views all around. A cut above the rest, this cozy cottage features hardwood Robusta eucalyptus flooring, a lofted living area overlooking the Great Room and a convenient laundry/hobby room off the back porch. Although small in square footage, the home lives large! Having lived on a boat for many years, the owner knew the value of living simply and efficiently.

A wood burning fireplace anchors the vaulted living area and large windows look out into the forest, giving the room a spacious feel. The fully finished loft area adds another living/work area plus storage options. Off the back porch is a well lit laundry/work room which securely houses the UV filter. With the lot minimally cleared there is very little yard work as well! Recent upgrades include new door locks, rebuilt front steps, repainting of both front and back steps, new gravel for the driveway and upgrades to the catchment tank.

Mauna Loa Est. is conveniently located across Hwy. 11 from Volcano Village where a Charter School, post office, restaurants, shops and Sunday Farmer's Market serve your needs. A few miles away is Hawaii Volcanoes National Park for hiking and lava viewing plus a County fire station/ambulance response team. The subdivision features paved private roads and access to high speed internet by way of Spectrum cable. Located in Lava Hazard Zone 3 it will be easier to obtain mortgage financing and insurance.
