5 miles up the mountain off of the highway, is this extremely peaceful 81+ acres. On a clear day, enjoy views of Hualalai, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and the ocean horizon at the cool elevation of 4000’. The property is covered by grass and dotted with exposed boulders and dramatic rock outcroppings. There is some diversity in the topography of the land; being hilly and rocky with moderate to steep slopes and shallow valley flats, while slightly sloping downward towards the ocean. Many mature Ohia trees grace the landscape and some pahoehoe flow is visible throughout the property.
Rich soil is abundant as this was the original pasture land in the State. The first cattle in Hawai’i were presented as a gift to King Kamehameha in 1793 and brought here to reside on the mauka portion of the Kealakekua ahupua’a, which was later acquired by the Greenwell Family, then became Hokukano Ranch, before it was subdivided into the smaller parcels such as this property.
This large acreage parcel is truly a rare offering. Nearby property owners have purchased in this subdivision intending multi-generational legacy assets and reforesting with Native Hawaiian trees such as Koa and Sandalwood. The NRCS offers grants supporting this endeavor.
As a bonus and included, are plans for a Craig Steely Architect house designed to the site. It is two structures; a ~2400’ sqft 2Bed/2Bath and the other; a separate single car garage with 1Bed/1Bath suite and where the covered water catchment tanks are located.
Close to all amenities; grocery, restaurants, gas, Post Office and banks. Centrally located and near to Captain Cook and Keauhou with Kailua-Kona, just another 10-15 minutes drive north. Some of the best beaches for all types of ocean sports are nearby; including Kealakekua Bay, Manini, Pu’uhonua O’Honaunau, Keauhou and Kahalu’u
