Single Family Residence in Pahoa, HI

Known locally as "The Monkey Temple," this one-of-a-kind property blends artistry, creativity, and island living in a truly unforgettable setting. Originally started in 1985 by set builder Steve Dragon, the concrete home began as an artist's vision inspired by organic architecture and has since been thoughtfully completed into a functional work of art. The approx. 2,300 sq ft, 3-story residence features 3 spacious bedrooms, multiple living areas, curved architectural elements, hand-painted stenciled concrete floors throughout the main level and staircase, and a indoor fireplace that adds warmth and character. A vintage propane stove anchors the spacious kitchen, creating a welcoming gathering place for cooking and entertaining. Peekaboo ocean views, cooling ocean breezes, and incredible jungle sounds create the perfect tropical off-grid retreat. Outdoor features include a jungle-style bathroom and shower off the living room, fenced dog yard, swimming pool with dedicated lanai, covered garden structure, chicken coop, fenced garden area, and ample space for homesteading on 3.98 acres of fertile land planted with tropical flowers, coconuts, ornamentals, and abundant fruit trees. Additional improvements include an approx. 200 sq ft A-frame ohana with its own solar and catchment system, kitchenette, bathroom, loft, and sleeping area. A large approx. 600 sq ft equipment shed/workshop offers covered space for up to 4 vehicles. Located just across the iconic Red Road from the ocean, this unique property offers privacy, artistry, and natural beauty with stunning sunrises, ocean sounds, and seasonal whale activity.
