27-1021 OLD MAMALAHOA HWY Pepeekeo, HI 96783

It is rare that a house on the Onomea Scenic Route goes on the market. This iconic location in Pepeekeo is just a couple doors up from the 'What's Shakin' smoothie stand.

This historic plantation home and farm from the 1940s sits on just under an acre of land (39,248 sq.ft.) The home has nice bones and with some hard work and TLC this will be an amazing renovation and remodel project for the right buyer. The current owners have made some improvements, including installing a cedar tongue and groove ceiling and exposing the original wood flooring throughout. There is opportunity for much more to be done.

Ocean views can be seen from the living room and front bedroom, and a quaint front lanai provides a picturesque place to sip coffee while enjoying the sunrise over the ocean. The home has a usable basement area (not included in the 828 square footage) which also includes a full bathroom with shower. Included on the property is a detached carport, large chicken coop, storage shed and large workshop unit that used to be used for processing macnuts.

The historic details and relics of a bygone era are sprinkled throughout the property. To this day there is a macnut and fruit orchard in the back of the property with approximately 50 producing macadamia nut trees, as well as coffee, cacao, papaya, avocado, pineapple, cinnamon, lychee, banana and more. The tropical landscaping is a plant lovers paradise and can be turned into a majestic secret garden by someone with a good eye for landscape design.
