Description

Off-grid living in the jungle but still conveniently located. My tiny house is fifteen minutes from Hilo and the airport and is centrally located to Volcano National Park (25 minutes), Puna and Red Road (35 minutes) and Hilo and the Hamakua Coast. My comfortable tiny house is an example of sustainable entirely off-grid living in Hawaii. It has a 500 kilowatt solar system and batteries for power, water catchment for water, a lava rock outdoor shower with hot water (propane, yes, there is some fossil fuel use even here), and a rainwater-fed flushable outhouse for doing your business. It's a one-room cabin on three acres about 15 minutes from Hilo airport and centrally located to all that East Hawaii has to offer, from the Kapoho warm ponds to the Hamakua Coast. I'm biased, but this little house makes me very happy just hanging out. I visit regularly (I live mostly in Santa Barbara) and I work on writing projects or just putz around the place working on landscaping or home improvement. It rains regularly, a delicious warm rain, which keeps it lush and full of life. This is a one-room cabin (16x16), with covered deck (lanai, 8x16) that's a good size for one or two people. There's also a futon for guests to sleep over. If you're interested in experiencing pristine Hawaii this is a great place to do it. My place offers the convenience of being only five minutes from Keaau, and only two minutes from a 7-Eleven, and fifteen minutes from Hilo, but also out in the country with only one neighbor who isn't even visible or audible. Birds abound, as well as geckos and frogs. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance but use the smoke rings available in the cabin and you'll be good to go. If you're a rain-o-phobe you won't like it here! It rains almost every day at least for a little, which is how it stays so green. It's always warm, though, so it's not an inconvenient rain like it is in colder climates. High 70s to low 80s is the temperature range all year 'round.
