Description from owner
Description
A peaceful place for deep quiet contemplation located on a natural, dramatic, stark lava landscape. Placed at a 4000 ft elevation and on a 80 years old lava flow, the cottage simple set up presents a panoramic vista of the southernmost point of the Hawaiian islands and the USA.
The Space:
The quietness, peacefulness, and marvelous ocean view makes this cottage absolutely unique. It is perfect for those with a taste for introspection, contemplation and self inquiry. Without any noise, distractions, and little if any human interaction, you can indeed unwind, relax, breathe deeply, contemplate and take in the serenity and peace of the openness and expansiveness of the sky and space that this spot somehow makes it so available. The Mauna Loa life and power is undeniable as one looks around from the Zen.
Guest Access:
Guests will enjoy their own private cottage with a simple kitchen plus a 12 x 28 foot lanai. Access to refrigerator is separate from the cottage. Shared bathhouse with hot water running shower and free hand maintnance composting toilet are provided. Totally off the grid, modest solar power is available. Water comes from rain water catchment. This space is ideal for those with an organic, self-sufficient, green lifestyle and those wishing to experience all the different landscapes and micro-climates and ways of living this island has to offer. How is it possible to live a comfortable decent lifestyle off-the-grid without demanding so many resources from the planet?
