About 48-5170 Honokaa Waipio Rd
There’s a certain feeling you only get in a Hawaiian sugar plantation era home: tall ceilings, classic jalousie windows, and wood floors that have carried generations. Tucked between Historic Honokaʻa and the beauty of Waipiʻo Valley, this sweet home offers just that kind of feel. It has a couple quirks (as the best old homes do), but the charm is undeniable the moment you walk in.
Upstairs is the main living area with 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and an open kitchen/living/dining layout that feels bright, breezy, and connected. Warm natural light fills the space, and the classic jalousie windows catch the tradewinds and brings that easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle these homes were made for.
Downstairs adds a laundry room/2nd-bathroom, and a separate storage room currently used as extra sleeping space/bedroom (4th bedroom), plus additional open basement area with plenty of flexibility—with a finished floor it could serve as a workshop, hobby space, storage… you decide.
The yard is flat, usable, and easy to care for, with mature Royal Palms out front that set the tone and give that welcome-home plantation feel. Established fruit trees are already in place too, including avocado, tangerine, orange, coconut, dragonfruit, and more. From the backyard, enjoy ocean views, Waipiʻo’s pali, and on clear days, Maui and Haleakalā on the horizon.
Below the home sits over 270 acres currently owned by Bishop Estate, used as grazing land/pasture all the way down to the ocean —adding a sense of space and privacy to the already nicely sized yard.
Just a short drive away, Waipiʻo Valley offers surfing, hiking, swimming, and Hawaiian history to be enjoyed with mālama. And Historic Honokaʻa town is about 10 minutes away with schools, parks, shopping, restaurants, and local favorites. A comfortable, welcoming home in a special community above the Valley.
