Despite the slower start to this year in Kohala Ranch real estate compared with 2010, we’ve seen a very steady pace of sales resulting in a surprisingly strong market. The seven residences sold, plus two in escrow, mean the total number of sales is now even with the full year 2010! Prices ranged from $630,000 for [...]
A year ago, I found myself with real estate clients who were not sure whether they wanted to buy in one of the residential communities along the Kohala Coast (like Kohala Ranch or Kohala by the Sea), or a similar upscale neighborhood nearer to Kailua-Kona. I wrote a summary of how it seemed the North [...]
Lots along the Kohala Coast, particularly in gated communities, have begun to sell once again. In Kohala Ranch, Kohala By the Sea, and Kohala Waterfront, where lots range from 1/2 acre (Kohala Waterfront) to 13 acres (Kohala Ranch Summit), the price range varies from $190,000 for a three acre parcel in Kohala Ranch (MLS# 237530) to $1,199,000 [...]
We had a chance to show this property (MLS# 232138) to clients the other day at Kohala Ranch. This is the lowest priced listing in Kohala Ranch at $679,000 and the seller is motivated. 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2,200 sq. ft. We’ve seen the home before and were fascinated with the possibilities. Our clients were [...]
There are a few homes for sale at Kohala Ranch that currently scream “deal.” My picks include two in the lower Heathers section of the Ranch, and one in the Meadows. From this infinity-edge pool, the illusion is one of nothing between your home (MLS# 236111) and the oceanfront
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about simplicity.
The Kohala Coast of the Big Island is green and gorgeous! One of the many ocean views from this Kohala Ranch lot for sale. Asking $488K (MLS# 241653) All the wonderful rain we’ve been enjoying has been soaked up by the land which is now vast with a new sense of aliveness. This green and fertile growth is [...]
2010—for Kohala “Gold” Coast neighborhoods the year was…well, better than 2009! Ahhh…relax on the Big Island’s Gold Coast under the covered lanai of this Kohala Ranch estate asking $2,499,000 (MLS# 240141) I’ve started lumping the residential neighborhoods of Kohala Ranch, Kohala-by-the-Sea, Kohala Waterfront, and Kohala Estates together when looking at active and sold properties on this [...]
This new Kohala Ranch listing is a home run! A new listing came on the market today, (MLS# 239886), in the Heathers (lowest section) of Kohala Ranch. I felt fortunate to get a preview appointment for my buyer clients before it was officially released to the active multiple listing service and open market. The builder, [...]
We had a relatively busy summer on the Big Island’s Kohala Coast — 7 sales total since June — 3 bare parcels, and 4 homes. Will this listing — MLS#237796 — be the next estate to sell in Kohala Ranch Heathers? Of the three parcels sold, two were in Kohala-by-the-Sea ($150k and $350k), and one [...]
One of my favorite jokes is the answer to the question: “What’s the fastest way to make a million dollars?” Answer: “Start with $10M and buy a winery….” There may only be two wineries in the great state of Hawaii, but we have “plenny” Millionaires! You don’t need a million dollars to enjoy this view [...]
A unique local consortium has put together packages of state-of-the-art energy-efficient homes paired with premium ocean view sites.
It is always true that prospective buyers for the ocean view homes and lots for sale at Kohala Ranch—the gated community just north of the Kohala Coast resorts—MUST be accompanied by a real estate broker or agent. So, you can’t just drive up to the gate and expect to get in. The problem at the [...]
Do you love to play tennis? It’s hard for me not to—since I’m married to a tennis pro at the beautiful landmark “Mauna Kea Beach Hotel†on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii! Whether you like to “battle it outâ€, join the club round-robin, or play in leagues or at the local park, you may never have [...]
