About 11-2920 S Apele Rd
Tucked deep within a native ʻōhiʻa forest, this fully permitted off-grid “glass house” offers 20 private acres of peace, sustainability, and comfort. If you’re looking for acreage, privacy, and a quiet sanctuary away from the noise of the world, this is the one.
Custom built with intention and high-quality materials, this one-of-a-kind 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home features floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in natural light and lush green views from every room. Both bedrooms are spacious primary suites. One with a 6-foot jetted tub and shower, the other with a sunken oversized jacuzzi; creating a retreat-like feel.
Framing and siding are Canadian Red Cedar, reinforced concrete foundation was poured over 26” 3200-lb. pre-stress steel, and a 14-gauge steel roof was installed with plywood sheeting, felt paper, and battens. Hurricane-resistant windows cost $5,500 each, and the doors are oriel-vaulted aluminum with armor-clad vinyl. Tile floors throughout and hardwood kitchen cabinetry add practical durability and timeless appeal.
The property runs fully off-grid with a 2000-watt solar system, 2 generators, storage batteries, and a 10,000-gallon water catchment system. Additional structures include a 20’x24’ greenhouse and an 11’x11’ solar/generator house. High-speed internet is available through Starlink, perfect for remote work, streaming, or video calls.
Landscaped for beauty and privacy, the home is hidden from the road with a long private driveway. Located approx. 30–35 minutes from both Hilo and Volcano National Park, this is your opportunity to live immersed in nature with all the modern comforts.
