Two bedroom A-frame, east coast under $225k and a 23.3% cash on cash return.

Anekona Estates is located on the sunny, warm, and dry side of historic upcountry Waimea on the Big Island of Hawaii within minutes to the famed Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and central Waimea town. This four-acre property has absolutely one of the best views in the neighborhood. Overlooking the pool and spa on the lanai, the 180 degrees of ocean and coastline are all the way south to Kailua-Kona. The expansive views include Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and the Kohala mountains. The daily sunsets from this location are breathtaking and unworldly, setting on the horizon seasonally north to south along the coast. This single story and spacious home of 3,550 square feet with three oversized bedrooms, two full and one-half baths have been upgraded and renovated over the last few years including the addition of a photovoltaic system and solar water system keeping monthly expenses low. New counter tops in the kitchen are custom made and all the bathrooms have been upgraded including the addition of sliding barn doors and, modern garage doors with glass panels. The oversized kitchen is spacious enough for multiple chefs prepping and cooking simultaneously while also participating with family and guests in the combined Great Room-kitchen. Beautiful hardwood floors in excellent condition run throughout the home. The ceilings are approx. 25+feet high and expand higher into multiple glassed cupolas bringing in natural light during the day and the moon and stars at night. The cupolas add an architectural detail that would be at great expense if built today and rarely seen. Anekona Estates has a seasonal stream running through the community surrounded by acres of open, rugged Big Island pasture lands where cattle, ranch hands and horse’s roam. Highly sought-after Waimea currently has 6+ farmers’ markets a week, 2 college preparatory schools K-12, the Kahilu Performing Arts Center, North Hawaii Community Hospital and many farm to table venues and very little real estate inventory.
