Two Homes on 1.16 Acres in Rural Kaiwiki, Near Hilo Here's a rare find, two homes on one gorgeous 1.16-acre parcel in quiet, cool Kaiwiki, just a short drive from Hilo. The main home is a spacious two-story with open beams and four bedrooms, with ocean horizon views from the living room, kitchen, and lanai. There's a local park about a mile down the road, and the grounds themselves are a big part of the appeal including many areas for planting and gardening. This property is currently mid-renovation. Some areas have already been remodeled while others have been prepped and are ready for the next phase with all carpets having been pulled out. There's still work to do to get it back to full living condition, but that also means there's a real opportunity here to finish it out exactly how you want it. The first home is a 1959 plantation-style home with three bedrooms and a lot of character. A new rood was added in February 2017, and the ocean horizon views over Hilo from the living areas and front of the property are hard to beat. The second home was built in 1994 and offers those same ocean horizon views from the living room, dining area, and kitchen. It's solid wood construction with an open-beam living area and vaulted ceilings that give it a really airy feel. The kitchen is generously sized with a breakfast bar that opens right up to the dining area. The primary suite gets tons of natural light from its windows, has a bathroom with a long counter, a walk-in closet, and even an extra nook with yard views. There's also a full garage with laundry, and one of the bedrooms is conveniently located downstairs.
Kaiwiki, located between Hilo Bay and the Wailuku River, is a residential and coastal Hilo neighborhood with ocean-facing bluffs and rainforest edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hawaiʻi Belt Road (HI-19) corridor near the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, where shoreline views meet a low-key strip of local eateries and small services. Pillars nearby include the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Coconut Island (Mokuola), and the Pacific Tsunami Museum, tying everyday life to Hilo’s waterfront history. Homes range from mid-century hillside residences to plantation-era forms, often oriented to trade winds and mauka-to-makai views. Short drives connect to beach parks, canoe paddling, and the banyan-lined shoreline. Frequent rain keeps the landscape lush, with gulches and palms shaping the streetscape.
