About 12-4277 Upper Puna Road
Your Private Cabin Retreat in Hawai‘i’s Ōhi‘a Forest
Discover a rare opportunity to own a larger-than-average parcel tucked away in one of East Hawai‘i’s most peaceful and private forest settings. This solidly built cabin sits at the quiet edge of Black Sand Subdivision. Across the paved road are thousands of acres of pristine Hawaiian forest, offering an oasis of quiet and natural beauty.
Excellent access via two paved routes—either the more secluded Upper Puna Road or through the subdivision, both can lead directly to the property with cinder graded parking for two vehicles directly from pavement. Being on the edge, this location is seldom traveled, and is surrounded by native ‘ōhi‘a and the soft sounds of the forest. The cabin itself is solidly constructed, built to last and already equipped with solar power, however needing both septic, and water for full utility. While it is small, it provides a solid foundation and a chance to personalize the space exactly to your taste.
This property offers a level of privacy and spaciousness ideal for homesteading, gardening, or creating a true forest hideaway. Despite the retreat-like seclusion, you’re only minutes to Pāhoa Village where you’ll find groceries, dining, shops, and all essential services. A few minutes drive too is the dramatic, oceanside Red Road—one of Hawai‘i’s most scenic routes, offering a glimpse into the timeless charm of “Old Hawai‘i.”
Whether you're seeking a peaceful getaway, a sustainable living start, or a uniquely private slice of Hawaiian forest, this property provides an inspiring foundation in an unbeatable location.
Escape the noise. Live in nature. Create your vision.
