This beautiful, custom-designed cottage on a highly desirable patch of native rain forest, is also a successful Short Term Vacation Rental (STVR). The property is a 5-minute drive to Volcano village (restaurants, galleries, groceries, hardware), and a 10-minute drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. For 11 years, Kipuka Cottage has been a highly occupied vacation rental STVR with almost all 5-star reviews. Guests describe the interesting architecture, the huge windows, the open-beam cardinals hat ceiling, the wood-burning stove, the covered lanai, and the hand-built custom cabinetry. No other houses or structures are visible from the house, which has off-street parking for 2 cars. The required county license for the business is up to date, and is normally transferable to the new owner. (Current owner offers one months free consulting for one month on how he runs the business.) Large windows on all sides bring in lots of light and views of the surrounding forest for an indoor / outdoor feel. The kitchen floor (refinished 2019) is native ohia with silver oak inlay, both woods harvested from the island. The bathroom features a multi-hued slate tile floor, and a long, deep tub next to large sliding windows opening onto the forest. The sleeping loft with its spiral staircase looks upon windows on every side. Several guests have said that its like sleeping in a beautiful birds nest. A small attached shed contains the water heater and a stacked washer/dryer bought new in 2018. The steel roof was last repainted in 2018. The property includes 3 bordering lots to protect the seclusion of the house. Together, the 4 lots total over an acre (46,431 square feet). TMK's 3-1-1-59-80 & 81, 3-1-1-60-84 & 87
