An incredibly rare find! Licensed, income-producing ($3k-$5k monthly) vacation rental, boasting a 10-year, 5-star track record and an option to buy fully-furnished/equipped as a turnkey home or business! Hawaii county’s limited STVR licensing of this area ceased in 2019, so your license will always be one of the finite few benefiting from the year-round booking stream of this popular location.Gently elevated, the home nestles peacefully in a clearing, surrounded by lush rainforest and soothing sounds of nature. Gated, and set back from the street down a palm-lined driveway for ultimate privacy, this well-designed retreat has been thoughtfully constructed with master craftsmanship throughout. From the comfortable lanai, enter through french doors into a warm greeting of locally-harvested hardwood flooring underfoot, and brilliant natural light from the large windows in every room. The home’s open-concept design, cooled by the breezy trade-winds, welcomes easy gatherings of family and friends. The kitchen features ample work space, easy-to-clean ceramic tile floors, and lots of cabinet/pantry storage. The abundant warmth of the entire living space instantly feels like home!At one end of the open hallway with its large closets, a full bath opens adjacent to a large bedroom; at the other end is the sizeable, sunlit master suite with bay window, an airy walk-in closet, ensuite full bath and slider door to the lanai.The covered carport houses a convenient laundry room.
