About 16-520 Orchidland Dr
This classic Hawaiian plantation-style home is rich with history and charm. Originally built in Old Hilo Town, two homes were relocated to Orchidland Estates and thoughtfully merged together, creating a one-of-a-kind residence that reflects the character of old Hawaii.
The spacious, open living room flows naturally through the home, which features beautiful hardwood floors and a built-in hutch not found in many homes. The large kitchen, front lanai, and inviting reading nook all capture inspiring distant ocean views and the glow of the morning sunrise. A generous covered outdoor area extends the living space and is ideal for entertaining, while a large workshop adds exceptional functionality.
The property sits on a fully fenced, desirable, almost square three-acre lot that has been lovingly cultivated into a gardener's paradise. The orchard has even been cross fenced! Fruit-bearing trees include multiple citrus, avocado, starfruit, banana, lychee, and mountain apple. The grounds are equally rich in ornamental plantings — blue jade, crotons, palms, bamboo, hāpu'u ferns, gingers, and much more.
Located approximately 15 minutes from the Kea'au Town Center — offering dining, fuel, grocery, and pharmacy options — and approximately 30 minutes from Hilo International Airport.
A truly unique property that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
