About 16-650 Orchidland Dr

Waiting for you at the top of Orchid Land Drive is this unique open beam, hollow tile wall home. Its wrap around design, stamped concrete floor and an interior courtyard garden with fish pond, lends a feel not unlike a classic Mediterranean villa. The "Great Room" consists of the kitchen, living and dining area around a central lava rock fireplace. The flow then takes you to the study/library with 56' of full wall bookshelves and cabinets, built to house the immense volume of books which the late owner and designer of the home wanted to display and enjoy. Continuing around, is a small storage room and then the primary bedroom with walk in bath; followed by the utility room. From there a door leads to the carport, more storage and the catchment pump room. Additional storage, two bedrooms and a bath complete the circuit, with new screens on all doors encircling the approx. 1,200 sf courtyard. A fish pond with what appears to be golden Tilapia lies at the heart of this garden or the "Mala" as the late owner loved to call it. Included in the sale is a 648 sf permited Ohana - ADU, and in it includes the pumphouse, shower room and bathrooms to service the 840 sf 10'x60'x10' deep concrete pool, which was recently cleaned up. The Ohana and pool are serviced by their own catchment. A gate at the entrance of the 1,000' long driveway meanders through the verdant oversized 5.74 acre estate, thoughtfully landscaped by the owner, with a stunning selection of mature palms as well as fruiting trees, flowering shrubs and misc. tropical foliage. An added treat: a Peacock family wanders around to add an exotic ambiance to the property. This custom designed home and property can lend itself well as a "Gentleman's Estate, a venue for a Church or an organization needing land area, privacy and a tranquil ambiance. This classic gal is in need of a facelift to bring her back to her original charm. Buyer's special treat: The building plans are included!
