FABU Views on Jungle Farm/Treehouse

Hosted by Jess · Kaneohe, Hawaii

7 guests max · 2 bedrooms · 3 beds · 1 toilet

We are at the top of a hill in a secluded and secure Homestead farm overlooking Kane`ohe Bay and Mokapu (and the Marine Corps Base) as well as the Pali (cliffs). We are nestled, essentially in a jungle, in the Ko`olau mountain range. We have ocean access from the property (by crossing the road) although there are better and easier places to get in the water (such as Ka`a`awa and Ku`aloa Beach Park). We generally see the stars and the sun and moon rise. We also see the colors of the Bay change with the tides, clouds, wind, light. We are focused on education about Hawai`i, being kind to animals (and all life, including humans), and we are privileged to be able to share our aloha as well as farm bounty. We grow chili peppers, ulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), noni, vegetables, bananas, olena (turmeric), ginger, etc. Not pictured is the common kitchen area. We have access to Reiki, massage, and other types of services. We have kayaks, surfboards, general snorkel and beach gear, SUPs, and connections to local businesses for other opportunities (e.g., horseback riding, sailing, rowing, etc.). There are surfing, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, scuba, horseback riding, and hiking options nearby. We are also conveniently near a mall and many great places to eat. It is also lovely to hang out here at the farm and enjoy the peace, away from concrete and traffic congestion. There are places to explore and a steep climb one can hike to get to the edge of the property where there are many and even more spectacular views. We are a real homestead and aspiring organic farm focused on Hawaiian Heritage plants and a Sanctuary for animals. We have many Native Hawaiian plants, superfoods, and culturally important plants. We also have Bucket and Scream (our goats), Venus, Zenith, and Sweetie (farm cats), Ipo (Australian Shepard farm dog), turkeys (Royal Palms), and a bunch of chickens. It is possible to get around in the near area, and on and off the property, on The Bus. The Bus stop is down a hill about 5 minutes away. We are always involved in community and local food, so let us know your interests. & let us know if you want to plant plants, weed bad grass, attend a cacao ceremony, or donate to a good cause.Escape! Live in a tree, house, On a farm, In the jungle, Looking at the ocean. Amazing, cozy, well-designed treehouse, 40 feet up, overlooking Kaneohe Bay and the Pali (mountains). There are other similar places on the farm to sleep. The limit is our bathroom capacity. There is one main bathroom. We are in a gorgeous, secluded, and convenient farm at the top of a hill. We are close to the ocean (we have ocean access but recommend better beaches, such as Ka`a`awa or Ku`aloa). We have kayaks, surfboards, SUPs, snorkel gear, boogie boards, chairs, etc. Watch the sun rise. Watch the moon rise. Meet animals (goats, turkeys, chickens, tortoise, dog, cats). Learn about healing plants of Hawai`i, be active, get outside, climb up hills and ladders, and relaxing in a unique place. The upper level of the treehouse is screened, has a Queen bed, chair hammock, and shelves. There are solar lights inside and out. There also is an exterior lanai (porch), to look out. The lower level has chairs, shelves, and a table nook, and also looks out at the amazing view. We have over 12 acres of property, right near Kualoa Ranch. Separately, the garage is a makeshift kitchen and hang out spot potentially shared with others. There is a refrigerator and cooking appliances, a table, several futon couches, chairs, basic food supplies (spices, oil). A short walk from the garage and/or the treehouse is the bathroom, under the main house. It has a lovely copper shower with a view, a toilet with bidet; washing machine (clothesline for drying is outside and dryer can be used in emergencies). This area may be shared with others (1-3). This is a jungle farm. We grow cacao, papaya, Noni, Ulu (breadfruit), Hala, ginger, Olena (turmeric), avocado, allspice and other fun trees and plants. There is an amazing jungle hike on the property with views galore. It is easy to get around by bus from here (walk up and down the driveway takes about 5 minutes). . There is not a lot of space to turn around but if you need a car, we likely can figure it out. We are in the process of turning the space into a Healing Sanctuary but we are not quite ready. In the meantime, we hope you will be interested in joining us and even planting a tree, or chopping one invasive tree down - if you like.
