Haysmers Living "LUANA" Style

Puna has an official international alien landing site -- so we painted an aloha welcome sign on our roof

Aloha from the district of PUNA on the BIG ISLAND of HAWAII! We are so excited to share this post with you! We have a friend who uses his drone to video properties for both real estate agents and property owners. In fact, we used one still shot as our Christmas/New Years card.

When we talk to friends who have not visited, they often have a mental picture of white sand beaches and palm trees, but our section of the Big Island also includes large swaths of ohia forest as well as dense jungle -- and sometimes a mix of both.

All streets on the island have Hawaiian names; ours is named "Luana."

LUANA means, To be at leisure; to enjoy pleasant surroundings, to enjoy associates, and to live in comfort and ease. 

When we moved in, the house was barely completed and there was no development of the surrounding property, no grass, just red volcanic cinder. The landscaping you see in the video, we have created. None of the lava you see was "brought in" -- just an inch or so down, we dug up all raw lava to create all the terraces and walls. Soil has to be trucked in because the "land" in Puna is very young land -- lava-land. Our friend, Clive (808 494-7686) was able to capture the "feel" of our property.   Just click on the link below:  ENJOY!
