The asking price for the farm includes everything you need to live and work upon the farm, including dishes, furniture, bedding, appliances, farm machinery and implements, soil amendments, agriculture books, power tools and hand tools, a solar electric system with a back up generator, and a water catchment and purification system. Buying a turn key operation makes it much easier if you are moving from the mainland, or if you plan to only be here for part of the year.

We realize that not everyone who is interested in this property will be interested in farming. There is no necessity to maintain it as a farm unless you wish to. It could be simply an awesome house site with great orchards. If you need assistance with farm maintenance, we have excellent, trustworthy workers who know how to manage and maintain the property. If you have little experience with horticulture or living on solar power and need guidance, the current owners are more than happy to share their knowledge with you and will remain available to answer questions after the sale is final. There are many free resources available to you from the community, including the University of Hawaii School of Agriculture, the Hawaii Organic Farmers Association and the USDA, all of whom offer courses and workshops. We can also give you names of professional farm consultants.

The main building on the land is a 1,760 square foot single story home. It is a permitted structure built by a contractor 1980. The construction is extremely solid. It was originally built as a barn, but in 2003 we converted it into a home with two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, laundry room, walk-in closet, one bathroom and a utility room. There is a second shower outdoors with hot and cold water. Other than the bathroom and the utility room (which have separate interior walls), we have kept an open floor plan, which is typical of homes in the tropics. This provides good air flow through the house and gives a sense of open space, as well as allowing for easy conversion back into an agricultural structure should you wish to build a new house on the land. Attached to the house is a two-car carport (375 square feet) and a shade cloth tree nursery/potting table/seedling starter area (about 425 square feet).

The furniture consists of two queen size and one full size bed sets (mattress, box spring and frame). There are two sets of sheets for each of the three beds, and at least two pillows on each bed. There is an oak roll top desk, a heavy piece with lots of drawers and cubbies. There is a new hand carved mahogany couch in French Victorian style, with brocade upholstery. There is a new large teak coffee table in Chinese opium style. There is a large hand carved teak and mango wood armchair in Balinese style. There is a woven rattan armchair with comfortable cushions. There is a hand carved pine dinner table that seats six, and a picnic table that seats six. There is an upright piano with walnut veneer.

There are two large high quality area rugs, approximately 8x12 feet, both are new.

The smaller guest cabin is 370 square feet and was built without a permit (although it is built to code). It is two stories high. On the first floor is a small orchid room where we grow orchids for pleasure. The upstairs consists of a large single room that has built-in bookcases and a queen size bed. Two walls of the cabin are mostly screen, giving sweeping views of the land and sea, and lots of fresh air. The sun rises out of the ocean and shines right on the bed. The interior of the cabin is painted shades of rose and lilac, amplifying the colors of the sunrise. Waking up there to the sunrise is an amazing experience.

There is a 10,000 gallon water catchment tank with a GE Smart Water filtration system. This is a low maintenance system, requiring about 15 minutes per month to keep you in fresh, pure drinking water. Again, we have a written guide to maintaining the system that comes with the farm.

There are scores of hand tools of every description: tools for carpentry, for plumbing, for gardening, for mechanical work, for farm work and orcharding.
