Lovely setting on 1 1/2 acres with distinctive touches and artwork. Located in an upscale neighborhood that is quiet, safe, and near several unique destinations and events that run year-round.

Tikis and Treetops is two-room studio is made up of a main room, a kitchen and big lanai/porch, which in Hawaii is the outdoor room and all together gives the place an indoor/outdoor feel that is tropical style living. Special care was taken to select, mill and install wood trim that is just gorgeous to look at with mango, koa, cedar, and redwood that creates art with wood. I have collected wooden masks, statuary, and artworks from Africa, Polynesia, Asia and the Middle East. The stuff you write home about. There is also a solar heated homemade hot tub that is a cozy fit for two out and under the stars.

The property is 1 1/2 acres and dips, curves and drops, and flows in a most unusual topography. This is a very out-of-the-norm place that is called the Sweet Spot because my friends who came over all said, "This is a sweet spot." You have to see it to believe and it was my love of the land and 16 years to put the lots together to form this geologically connected one-of-a-kind vacation destination. Coconuts that were planted over a decade ago are now harvested and shared with all of our guests. Having lived in this neighborhood for 30 years I can say without doubt, there is nothing else like this place in the area. Long time locals come over and tell me," I had no idea a place like this existed here Wow. What a sweet spot" And that is how it got its name.

You will be in a 100% off-the-grid solar-driven house! Something also to write home about. The property is populated with over two dozen food-bearing trees. Coconut, limes, breadfruit, sugar cane, avocado, coffee, cacao, cherry, grapefruit, star more.
The neighborhood is charming with a walk to stunning coastline and a black sand beach in Kehena Bay that is frequented by dolphins and whales in the wintertime.

On Wednesday is Uncle Robert's Night Market a scene to beat all scenes. Open air, music event. Saturday Farmer's Market is a must next to the same location The coastal road is one of the most beautiful drives on the entire island winding along through tree tunnels and overhanging vines that grace your drive. Warm ponds are but 20 minutes away and 25 minutes away is the town of Pahoa which is as colorful as a tropical flower. A variety of restaurants from Lugiun's Mexican, Paulo's Italian, Kaleo's Fusion, Ning's Thai, Mighty Sushi, Black Rock American Cafe, and full-blown bakery called the Tin Shack. A regular shots and beer bar and a Kava/Kombucha non-alcoholic bar too. The lava may be flowing and that is a sight of a lifetime to see the blood of the planet flowing into the ocean and across the lava field.
This is what Hawaii looked like 50 years ago. Come and really unwind, slow down, chill out and hang loose in one of the coolest scenes in all the islands. There is no place like Lower Puna.

If you are looking for a 'tourist' destination this isn't it. If you are looking for what its like to live in Hawaii, close to nature, inspired by the surroundings, breathing in some of the cleanest air in the world, getting in touch with slowing down and taking in the beauty of old Hawaii, then this is the right place. Its a vacation you will never forget
