Imagine… 6+ acres of land—oceanfront in Puako Beach, one of the Big Island’s most premier, upscale communities. There are so many possibilities in terms of developing this land. Proceed with the original developer’s dream of a luxury, gated community of 8 properties, split into two or three parcels, or better yet, build one of the most prestigious, ultimate luxury estate homes on the entire Kohala Coast! With no CC&R’s, there is only County building codes for restrictions – this oceanfront parcel simply cannot be beat! Read entire post →
View of the Kona Coast from Huehue Ranch; its name refers to the “bumps” of cinder cone on the flanks of Hualalai volcano
Huehue Ranch at its peak covered an estimated 8,000 acres to the north of what is now the town of Kailua Kona. Today the remaining 170 acres at the core of the historic ranch, including 3 recently restored ranch homes (the main house, “kid’s house”, and the manager’s house) and a caretaker cottage, is listed for only $3,695,000 (MLS# 231821). Divided into several parcels of record, the new buyer could add a home or two on the upper parcels where views are even bigger…or, as the listing suggests, return the property to its ranching roots by adding to the small herd of cattle still grazing the ranch under the jacaranda and silver oak. If you want to plant crops rather than ranch, that is also an option: the property bordering this one to the north is a successful coffee farm, as the elevation, rainfall and soil make this location part of the Kona coffee belt.
You don’t need a million dollars to land bank. How about this gorgeous Kohala-by-the Sea lot (MLS# 231301) listed for $275,000 and offering Seller Financing.
There have only been two sales of Kohala-By-The-Sea parcels of land so far in 2010 – one for $215,000 and one for $300,000. Land loans are still scarce Read entire post →
Big Island ranch and equestrian properties are mostly “upcountry.”
Enjoy ranch living with Kohala Coast Views at this Puakea Ranch Residence (MLS #235911)
Most of the working ranches and equestrian properties for sale on the Big Island are at higher elevations: Waimea/Kamuela (for example MLS# 233688); Waikii Ranch (MLS# 235515); the area along the Kohala Mountain Road between Waimea and Hawi (MLS# 224465), or even the hills above Kona (MLS# 231820). These areas are more comfortable for livestock, and less valuable for both the sugar cane plantations of years past and modern day resorts. When famed Parker Ranch sold off lands for development, Kohala Ranch was created in a strip that has lots and homes from 300′ above sea level to 3,000′ high. The properties with barns and horse paddocks are up at the Summit (MLS# 232550 is an REO). Read entire post →
I was talking with a client the other day about listing their vacant lot in Wailea at the Wailea Golf Vistas. It’s located at the 17th hole at the Wailea Blue Golf Course. In doing my market research, I came across a listing that piqued my interest and caused me to write this blog.
I was shocked at the hefty price tag of $13 million for less than 1 acre, however, I must admit that vacant land in Wailea (on the beach) is hard to come by. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and moved on to discover through more research that there are currently only 6 beachfront parcels available on Maui. When I say beachfront, I mean that you roll out of bed and you are at a sandy beach. There are other parcels that are very close to the water but that is for another blog. Here’s the location breakdown: 3 in Kihei, 1 in Lahaina, 1 in Kaanapali, and 1 in Wailea.
Take a tour with me of white sandy beachfront Maui properties…
1) 1210 Uluniu, Kihei
(MLS# 339847) 1210 Uluniu is the smallest lot at 6495 square feet. It’s located in central Kihei and is flat and usable. The list price is $2,495,000 and has been on the market for 272 days. Read entire post →
The Big Island—where you can still watch volcanic action creating land—has a topography defined by its five volcanoes. What that means for Big Island real estate is that wherever you look from wherever you are, you are likely to have spectacular ocean and/or mountain views. The “major highways” parallel the coast, and outside of the oceanside resorts, a typical luxury residential area is by definition located on a hillside, which means careful building and CC&Rs give everyone unobstructed ocean views!
I have just spent the past two weeks showing/walking what feels like every buildable parcel on the entire coastline in each of the Kohala Coast communities from Kawaihae to Puakea Bay. While there are some great bargains in bare land to be made, the range of lots along the South Kohala Coastline varies greatly: Read entire post →
