About this property

Hand Crafted Luxury Home with Jacuzzi & Fireplace


Explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and experience the Aloha of Hawaii Island while staying at this gorgeous, hand crafted home near Volcano Golf Course. Nestled amongst the native Koa and Ohia Lehua Trees with a sweeping view of Mauna Loa and a steady serenade from the numerous native birds, this Hawaiian retreat will envelope you with a complete sense of peace and relaxation. Hale Ka Lehua was designed by owners John & Mindi Clark and personally built by John which shows in every well thought out detail.
The extensive use of glass gives one the feeling of being outside while within the warm comfort of indoors...perhaps snuggled next to the wood burning fireplace.
This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath retreat has a completely private master bedroom located outside of the main home off of the front lanai. This sweet room has a full sized memory foam bed with a native garden view, 1/2 bath, night stand,reading lights over the bed and a small space heater for extra chilly winter nights.
The main floor bedroom has a queen memory foam bed, a small desk and closet and is located across the hall from the full bath (both tub & shower).
The upstairs 'room with a view'' is a multi-purpose room with a full size Futon sofa bed (a real mattress not a cotton one along with a memory foam mattress pad topper) that can be used as a reading or game room, a bedroom or a perfect place to practice Yoga, meditate or simply have some quiet time enjoying the full, mountain view of Mauna Loa through Frank Lloyd Wright inspired seamless corner windows.
The kitchen boasts gorgeous 'Flower Garden' granite, gas stove and oven and is completely stocked with Le Creuset cookware, small appliances and wine/cocktail glasses.
French doors spill out from the solid ohia wood floored living & dining room onto the wrap around lanai that has outside dining and gas BBQ grill as well.
We invite you to come enjoy the beauty and quietude of this beautiful home while exploring the amazing dynamics of Kilauea, the world's most active volcano located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The 'Dry side' of Volcano keeps you out out of what can be a constant drizzle & fog that shrouds the eastern flank. The golf course area is located just beyond the crest of 4,000' and dips you into the Kau side of Volcano where the temps will still range from the 40's to the mid 70's but with far more sun! We are 3 miles past the entrance to the park, but you can walk to the edge of the caldera from our home in just 20 minutes...a perfect place to sip a glass of wine while soaking in the view of Halema'uma'u and getting a glimpse of the powers of Madame Pele.
Both the Volcano Golf Course and Volcano Winery are within a few minutes walk from the house.

The pictures of this home do not do it justice. It is an absolutely gorgeous home tucked away in a quiet community. The wood work is fantastic, you can really see the quality and care that has been put in to making this place its own unique location. The layout is great, we loved the large windows on the main room. The outer room is a great addition for a bit of privacy. We were able to sit in the hot tub and watch the glow of Kiluaea over the surrounding forest. Our host was fantastic, letting us know that the volcano had started to erupt, allowing us to see a real once in a lifetime experience.

Lovely secluded area
The property is beautiful. Walking out the back deck you feel like you're in a forest. So very peaceful and calming. It does get surprisingly cool overnight, so be prepared for that. House is well stocked. Bring a flashlight or head lamp if you're looking to walk in the evening as it gets very dark. The house was a little less clean than I'm used to and had a distinctive smell, possibly from being closed up for a period of time without ventilation. The house is remotely located so bring things for early mornings or late nights to snack on or get your morning started. Overall a pleasant stay in a beautiful house and location.

Orchids and a Volcano
Property was a great experience. We enjoyed the hot tub after our evening hike to view the Volcano. Everything we needed and a gorgeous place to rest up for the next day. I really appreciated all of the Orchids as well. Pretty and Restful.

About the host

Hosted by Melinda Clark

Host profile image
We moved to the Hawaiian village of Kalapana located on the SE corner of the Big Island in 1981 to escape the freeways of So. California. We were blessed to live, surf and paddle canoe here for 8 years before Madame Pele covered this community with lava in the late 80's & early 90's. We lost our home to the lava but our orchid farm,'Kalapana Tropicals' that we started in 1987 remains in tact and is now just one of 2 orchid nurseries that we own and operate...the other being in Kurtistown where we have lived since 1990. Free orchid farm tours for our guests!

Why they chose this property

We love the Volcano area for it's cool weather, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and hiking and cycling opportunities. The 'DRY' side of Volcano has far more sun than the heart of Volcano Village and the neighborhood is very quiet.

What makes this property unique

We selected this property because it is located on the 'dry side' of Volcano, it's bounty of native Koa and Ohia trees that are filled with birds. John took great care in removing only enough trees to build and the home is designed with a bedroom off the lanai to save trees and give this home a tree house feel. Our hand-crafted home is filled with windows for great views and a feeling on being outside.
