16-1401 40TH AVE Keaau, HI 96749

An incredibly rare find! Licensed, income-producing vacation rental, boasting a 11-year, 5-star track record and sold turnkey as a home or business. Hawaii county’s limited STVR licensing of this area ceased in 2019, so your license is one of the finite few benefiting from the year-round booking stream of this popular location.

Gently elevated, the home is nestled peacefully in a clearing, surrounded by lush rainforest and the soothing sounds of nature. Gated, and set-back from the street, with a private palm-lined driveway for ultimate privacy, this is a well-designed retreat that has been thoughtfully constructed with master craftsmanship throughout.

From the comfortable lanai, enter through french doors into a warm greeting of locally-harvested hardwood flooring underfoot, and brilliant natural light from the large windows in every room. The home’s open-concept design, cooled by the breezy trade-winds, welcomes easy gatherings for family and friends.

The kitchen features ample work space, ceramic tile floors, and lots of cabinet/pantry storage. The abundant warmth of the entire living space instantly feels like home.

At one end of the open hallway with it's large closets, a full bath opens adjacent to a large bedroom; at the other end is the sizable, sunlit primary suite with a bay window, an airy walk-in closet, ensuite full bath and slider door to the lanai.

The covered carport houses a convenient laundry room and ample space for additional parking on the expansive gravel driveway, and lots of surrounding green space to enjoy life in the warm Hawaii sun!
