“Peaceful & Breezy, Sprawling Ocean Views, Great Location in Lower Puna with Horses Grazing Nearby….. One of a kind! This family ranch was covered by the 2018 Kilauea Volcano. Rebuilding began in 2020 of spectacular new grounds. A Cottage on the Hill - quietude, drinking water from the sky, power from the sun, propane for hot water. The views are stunning: Pele’s lava, ocean panoramas, horses & peacocks. Located off the red road & minutes to Isaac Hale Beach, the heartbeat of Lower Puna. Welcome to your private cottage located amid the 2018 lava flow. The location is one of the most desirable being both quiet and safe, nestled on the very top of our 25-acre sanctuary with stunning views from every area of your tiny home. Sprawling ocean panoramas of the lava and the ocean beckon you from your lanai. Your landscape is truly majestic - our 10 horses (and sometimes foals) grazing quietly in the green pastures, surrounded by lava rivers, with a birds-eye view of the full size arena and riding school below. You are gifted with a very special micro climate - the tradewinds blow away the usual humidity, rain or bugs of the East side. Days are pleasant with breezy ocean winds and nights lull you to sleep with the comfort of the rain and chirping cocqui frogs. Welcome to the Hawaiian’s will to live as closely to nature as possible. All of our properties are handsomely built, as guests often repeat “this is exactly how I would build my Hawaii Hale.” Half walls that are professionally screened in adorn your cottage, inviting in the glory of the sunrise and tradewinds and cozy comfort of a plush queen bed to curl up in at night. The horses are roaming free in their paddocks as well as our home and yours - dont be surprised to find them grazing next to you from your outdoor kitchenette or shower:) If you have horse experience, feel free to approach them and give a little love. Jeffrey the farm cat will not leave your side. After all, the Horse Hale is her home and you are her beloved guests - never a free lap! If you would like to use our washer/dryer, we will launder for you as to be sensitive to off grid needs. Just let me know:) Our family while just a short walk away, truly feels completely separate. We appreciate our privacy as much as im sure you do. But it is never ever a bother to text me or stop to chat. We will be as quiet as possible during the morning farm routine. The riding school operates most weekends on the lower half, which you cannot hear from your Hale but can enjoy the view of riders & horses. Lessons are available. Aloha! You do not need 4- wheel drive, the roads are accessible by any car. You do, however, need to open and close horse gates to reach your Hale. Please mind the gates. As we are off-grid, the solar lights will only be as bright as the sun was that day. Please use care and caution around all the animals. Aloha! Myself and 3 of my children live on the farm if you need us. We are near but separate enough so that everyone’s privacy is maintained! The neighborhood is gated and safe and quiet. It is a farming community. Lower Puna is almost entirely off grid. We like being away from the hustle and bustle. We like our rain as all of us grow food, harvest animals and just enjoy living independently. There is only one way in and out until more roads are re-opened and that is through our extraordinarily beautiful mango grove (which we can also ride through!). You are minutes to the newly formed black sand beach at Isaac Hale (Pohoiki) and hot ponds. You are also a short drive to Uncle Roberts and several farmers markets. Check-in time is set before 7p. Farm life is demanding and i cant always be up for late arrivals (please dont ding my communication review if you arrive after 7p and im asleep)! Just lmk me know in advance and we will do everything we can to make sure you arrive safely! Our riding school is on the lower premises and is usually bustling with horse activity from 7-5p weekends. It should not impact your stay, however you will hear the call of horses and other animals waiting to be fed each morning! Visit the Horses or Ride them, prices vary, just send me a message! “Highly recommend! Clearly a woman of strength and love that is rebuilding her entire life (after the lava took over her place). Kumu Samantha is Naturally amazing with Keiki and Horses of course! With the team of three combined, this place is a powerhouse of knowledge, love and FUN!” — Amanda Cox “This is the best place for kids to learn to ride on the island or anywhere else! Sam is gentle but firm as a teacher and always takes her time to explain things and let you get comfortable. If we still lived on the island, we would be here every week, if only for the lovely view. The lessons are a mega bonus!” — Michelle Kennedy “Amazing teacher who guides people in being present with their horses and community. If you want to learn how to live with Aloha then go to Beyond the Gaits.” — Devon Colleen
