“It is located at the top of a country road in this awesome, little, hidden gated community. The thing that makes it most unique and has captured the most attention is the eco-design and the efficiency of the home,” explains listing agent Maeghan Pocock, with Island Sotheby’s International Realty. She and her colleague Linda Jean Briske represent the listing.
The 15.71-acre site in the town of Haiku, HI, consists of several structures, including the main home. All are self-sustaining and are included in the list price of $3,995,000.
Thomas Rusnak, the owner and architect, built what he calls the “Float Off-Grid Art Farm” in 2018.
Rusnak sought to create a place for artists and craftsmen to come together in a natural area, says Pocock. He wanted a setting conducive to creativity and that was off the traditional grid.
“This property offers everything that you need to live comfortably while self-sustained in a comfortable and thoughtfully intentional and functional space,” she says. “It’s just a place that you can escape the nitty-gritty of everyday life, get offline, connect with nature, connect with yourself, and then have these little spaces of creation.”
To power the compound, there are 48 solar panels, a propane backup generator, and eight batteries. Even the rooflines were designed for sustainability.
“The shape of the roofline is in a butterfly angle to really channel and focus the collection of water. As you as you look around, everything has been done with intention,” Pocock says.
