Luana Hale

Here are a couple pictures of our hale (house) nestled  on one gorgeous wooded acre in Leilani Estates in the district of Puna on the Big Island. The front 1/2 is forested with native Hawaiian Ohia trees.  The house, yard and garden is located on the back half, along with the 10,000 gallon catchment tank which is our water supply -- all from rain water processed through a filtration system.

There are lots of ferns, orchids and birds.  We are beginning to work on the yard to create flower beds, and garden area.  The property already has producing papaya tree, several avocado trees, tangerine, lime and banana!

We are only two miles from Pahoa -- a funky little town with great markets, cheap gas ($3.68), fabulous organic markets, boutiques and restaurants.

The house has a beautiful 1600 sq ft open floor plan, lots of light, no interior doors and big windows that are open most all the time.  We have a screened porch (lanai) that is about 500 sq ft which will be our art studio (and guest space) until we create some plans for additional living space and a guest cottage.

The property is very private and quiet.  We can't see our neighbors except for a tiny roof peak and the only thing we hear are birds and frog song. 

We would love to stay in touch with friends, but the connections to internet are slow.  Fortunately cell phone reception is excellent!
