Check this house out before it's gone

If you’re familiar with the phrases “compostable toilet,” “off the grid” and “water catchment system,” then this uber-green house in the very back of Palolo Valley may just be your slice of real estate heaven. The “tree house,” which is not actually a legal living structure—it’s zoned as a screened porch—is situated on 6.33 acres, including 122 feet of mountaintop at the property’s apex, whole sections of which are planted with papaya, mango, lychee, banana, avocado, lime, lemon, grapefruit and breadfruit trees, as well as rosemary, heather, heliconia and ginger plants. George of the Jungle would be jealous.
