We know how hard it is to get a
"feel" for property
from far away- so we decided to
put up this page with lots of pics- and hopefully answers to
some
questions you would like to ask. Of course, if you have a
question not answered, feel free to contact us toll free US & Canada
888-929-8118
or 808-929-8097 [I've found that the telephone allows you
to get direct answers more quickly- and it gives us a better feel
for
what you are looking for
- and if our property will meet your needs/
desires]. Our main website for the B&B is: http://www.macadamiameadows.com

WANT A
PIECE OF PARADISE BUT $998,000 IS A LITTLE TOO STEEP?
We've
been thinking about all the folks who put money in to time shares
etc.Often there are ongoing fees etc. even after you make the purchase.
How
about this?
Here in Hawaii there is
"fractional" ownership. Up to 6 people can own a property. You
may buy and sell your portion independant of the other owners.
If
6 folks each put up $166,333
you'd not only have a piece of paradise [all year /not for just a
couple of weeks in a time share] but with an
onsight operator/manager you could bring in enough to pay expenses and have a little bit left
over- and still have your place in the sun. Or, if you want
more
ownership how about 2 or 3 of you going in together to buy your place
in the sun? Interested- contact us.
Let's start with some pics.
The pictures below show the road in front of our home- we're nestled
into Waiohinu Valley at the very southern end of the Big Island of
Hawaii. In fact we're located just one road over from South Point [in
Hawaiian Ka Lae] Southern most point in the USA. Mark Twain visited
Waiohinu in June of 1866 and planted a Monkeypod tree not far from our
farm [OK it's the tree that sprung up from the roots of the original
that Twain planted, but you get the picture].

Loa at top

TENNIS
COURT
Our tennis court is located at the front
of the property. It is a regulation size court and also has two basket
ball hoops on the court. One of the aspects about the location of the
court that I enjoy the most is that you have a sweeping view of the
coastline below. It's fun to sit up there and just
watch the surf come crashing in on the shore below- and if you're
loosing at tennis you can always claim that you were distacted by the
view.

look close- see the ocean

the ridge in the background is Mauna Loa
it's a better view in person
POOL
Our pool is 16ft X 36ft and 8 ft. deep at the deepest point. It
is obviously an inground smimming pool, and it has a brand new vinyl
liner. Yes, I know it's Hawaii and there is a great Black Sand Beach
just 10 minutes or so from our farm, but it's fun to swim some laps in
your back yard from time to
time.
THE VIEW FROM THE
INSIDE
Our home is filled with skylights .
The main section of our home has 9 skylights, and the attached wing has
4 skylights. What a wonderful way to enjoy the warmth and light . You
can see one of the skylights in the kitchen area pictured below. Note
the glass sliders also in the picture to the left. The home was
designed to take advantage of the light of the tropics, and still
highlight the warmth of the cedar walls in the main section of
the home.
to give you some perspectous this area is 40 ft in
length
enjoy the brand new granite counter tops
MORE UPSTAIRS MAIN FLOOR
Here's more pics of the main floor
upper level. On the left note the loft [upper part of pic]. This is a
huge loft and from there you can look out of windows that give you a
wonderful ocean view of the coastline below. Note also all the windows!
to the right you can see the Japanese
sliders

in the great outdoors
This photo was taken from inside the house looking out through
our Japanese sliding doors. I remember the very first time I looked at
our home to purchase it. I walked up the magnificent staircase at the
back of the house and when I reached the top it was almost like the
outdoors and inside space of the home were united together. What a
great way to enjoy the fresh air and wonderul breezes of your tropical
country estate.
COVERED LANAI
What's a lanai you ask? Well you might refer to it as a deck. Our home
has about 3000 sq. ft. of covered lanai.
The lanai goes around the entire upper floor. Talk about taking
advantage of the great outdoors! It's a great spot to just sit and
relax and we love to eat our here. You can look out
into the orchard and with many trees you are looking out right into
their canopies.
this is the walkway over
to the attached
wing
one of our favorite places to each
lunch
we replaced the roof on the
area you see
here
it's fun to listen to the birds sing at
dusk
leading to the door in the
distance. The
roof
just before they roost in the trees
for the night
has a walk pad over the entire surface and a
rating for standing water

NOTE: Not pictured is another
large bedroom and full bath- also there is a 1/2 bath located on the
lanai - great for when you get out of the pool
ATTACHED WING
Pictures below are of the upper
floor of the attached wing. This area is about 1200 sq. ft. It
makes
for a great private living space for family members [my Mum lives here
with us] and it gives privacy yet they are close by. This area would
also make an ideal
private living space for property/B&B managers. Not pictured below
is a spacious private lanai area looking out to the orchard.
Wish we had taken a pic? Ah come on, you
have to have some reason to come to Hawaii and view our farm
yourself!!!
The three pictures above are all of the same room. This room has two
skylights in it- and note your peaceful views of the lush vegetation
right
out your windows
SUNKEN BEDROOM IN ATTACHED WING UPPER FLOOR
All
five pictures below are of the sunken bedroom in the upper floor of the
attached wing. It's a spacious room- and I just wanted to give a feel
for the
wonderful orchard views from this room.

very spacious walk in closet- has a sky light
ORCHARD SHOTS
Part
of the uniqueness of our property [all 8.19 acres of it- and we have an
acess road on the property which goes to our neighbor behind us] is our
wonderful orchard. Our Macadamia Trees are mature and the most nuts
we've harvested off the property in one year is 33,000 lbs. gross
weight.
Here's some pics!

Bed and Breakfast Rooms
The
rooms pictured below are presently being used as guest rooms for the
Bed and Breakfast. It
should be noted that we have done nothing to the rooms or their
configuration that would preclude the rooms being used as a private
residence if the new owners of the farm so desired. Translation: if you
desire to use this property as a private residence we haven't done
anything to the structure of the home that would prevent that .
The Rooms we share for our Bed and
Breakfast are located in the bottom of our home. Each Room has a
private entrance, and this affords the guests the opportunity to come
and go as they like. You may learn more about the Bed and Breakfast
aspect of our property by going to:
http://www.macadamiameadows.com
Here's some pics of the rooms we share right now in our Bed and
Breakfast.
Punalu`u Black Sand Beach Room
Papakaleo Green Sand Beach Room
note the door behind the dresser- this is a double door with
soundproofing insulation and of course locks on each side for guest
safety
however--------- If you would like to connect these two rooms for
personal use-no problem- just unlock the doors and remove the rigid
insulation
Macadamia
Room
Once again there is a double locked door between this the Macadamia
Room and the adjoining Hawaiian Room. If you would like to convert that
for a private residence and re-connect the rooms- it's as simple as
unlocking and opening the doors and removing the soundproofing
insulation less than
two minutes and it's done
Volcano Room
Here you get a bit of a feel for the covered lanai [deck] area on the
ground floor. All along the ground floor of the main building is a
sitting area.
Hawaiian Room
The Hawaiian and Volcano Rooms are actually part of a single suite
with a bath located in the middle of the suite.. Once
again, if you want, there is no reason that this
area could not be used as office space, a game room, theater room etc.
Or just a great place for the inlaws when they come to visit your new
estate in
paradise.
What's the Hawaii
Real Estate Market like? Prices are stable, inventory is up and
right now the folks who have their
places on the market are the serious sellers, not the
speculators. Hawaii is a unique, one of a kind market, but you already
know that. It isn't often that you can purchase such
wonderful pieces of property at such a resasonable price.
Regulatory changes of the J-REIT (Japanese real estate
investment trust) will allow capital to purchase property in Hawaii and
could provide an
infusion of buyers for the islands.
Questions:
1) This looks like a fantastic
property!! What's wrong- why are you selling it?
Good question. When I look at
property, in my mind, that is always the BIG question: "if this place
is so great why are you selling? " People in general have a lot of
different reasons to sell property, whether it be income property, a
home etc. To be specific, in our case our reasons for selling are very
personal, but perhaps something that, unfortunetly, some of you can
relate to. Our dear and only son recently died of cancer. We are
looking to move closer to our other children and grandchildren in the
continental US.
2) What do you mean by that
statement that "A qualified buyer will not be solely
dependant on Bed and
Breakfast income to qualify for a mortgage ?"
Simply this: If you need to float a large loan for this property and
would be using the income solely
from the Bed and Breakast to help you to qualify
for the loan it will never happen. Does that mean we don't have a
viable business to offer? Of course not. But this is a large country
estate and other properties in the area with no B&B, no farm,
are actually at higher asking prices than we are. In other words
we think we've priced our property well for what you get with out the
business aspect.
3)
Are you offering any owner
financing? Our answer is a
qualified -maybe. We
would consider owner financing for the balance with a minimum
$7000,000 down
payment.
4) Would you please Email me a
profit and loss statement? Simple
answer- No. This is the Internet and we have no idea if you're a
qualified buyer or our competition requesting this info. We will
provide you with this info with a qualification letter from you
[meaning proof you are a qualified buyer] and also that you would sign
a confidentiality agreement.
Having said that, we would be glad to give you an over view of earning
potential initially to folks who have a sincere interest [give us a ring- I will not do this by Email].
5) Can I expand the business by
adding more rooms? Yes- we
are permited for 5 rooms and have actually only been renting out 4.
Rent out a 5th room and increase your income!
Here on the Big Island of Hawaii a
legally permitted B&B is limited to 5 rooms [for B&B use] and
the operator of the B&B must live on the property.
To check out the local zoning laws on Bed and Breakfasts go
here: http://www.hawaii-county.com/planning/rules/zoning
code.book.pdf
Look for: Article 4
General
Development Regulations
Section 25-4-7
Bed and Breakfast establishments 25-32
6) What about the farm- can I
expand on that? Good
question and yes you can- with out a large outlay. We have been farming
pesticide free for years and one logical thing to do is get your
organic certification. There's more that we would be happy to share
with a qualified buyer.
7) How long have you had the
B&B and how would I benefit from buying an exisiting
B&B? We've been in
business since 1997, are "legal" with a Special Use Permit and
with the sale of our farm estate will transfer our website and
domain name [which does well in searches etc.] We've done all the hard stuff for you.
You also benefit from our history and the fact we're in just about all
the leading guide books such as: Frommers, Moon, Lonely Plant, Let's
Go, Ulysses ( French guide book) and more. There are many associations
etc. that we belong to- and would be glad to help you learn the craft
if you so desire.
We're proud also to have been featured in Cooking Light magazine, Bon
Appetite,the New York Times and had a 4 page spread in Inn Travellor.We
will be listed in a brand new "Green Hawaii" guide book coming out this
June.
8) Have you done any recent
improvements or upgrades?
The main section of our home has
a brand new roof [not the wing]. The swimming pool has a
new liner, pool chlorinator etc. and our kitchen has beautiful solid
granite [not granite tile] counter tops. The sweeping stairs on
the main house section have all been replaced with plastic wood.We
rebuilt the whole staircase- support and all. And then of course
there's the usual painting and some new carpet etc.
