Description
This is better than living off of the grid! Built in 2014, this home has a fully owned net-metered photo-voltaic system that is also tied into the grid on a net metered system. It has solar hot water and a 10,000 gallon water catchment tank with approximately 1700 square feet of roof surface area for water collection. As a bonus backup plan, there is a net metered agreement with the power company meaning you have all of the benefits of being hooked up to the grid with super low power bills. There is no lease. The panels are owned. The Ultra Violet Light Sterilizer System has been added to tie it all together into your new self sustaining home. And this is only the beginning...

The home is a beautiful and meticulously kept home with a full garage attached. A large master fills the end of the home with a walk in closet and fully tiled bathroom with a walk in shower. The kitchen is warm and inviting and the layout of this home is part of it's charm. Step outside into a tidy garden filled with tropical plants. This property offers peek-a-boo views of Mauna Kea and takes full advantage of the Big Island tradewinds in a quiet neighborhood. Grow your own food in the fenced garden with raised beds. And there is still lots of space to take advantage of on this nearly 3 acre lot as you wish.
