I recently had an owner at Hualalai Resort look at the oceanfront lot I have listed for sale at Naupaka Place. This surprised me because, generally speaking, I find there are two very distinct types of buyers for resort property, whether a vacant lot, residence, or condo. Those two kinds of real estate buyers are in [...]
Yes, this is truly a gentleman’s farm—perfect in every way! Just unpack your suitcase and start living your dream! If you have been waiting for that beautiful piece of Ag land, your wait could be over! You are just 5 minutes from Poipu and its beautiful beaches, shopping, dining, and yet, you have the privacy afforded by a large estate. [...]
Having recently studied the Hamakua Coast agricultural land for sale for a buyer client, I have come up with a number of interesting conclusions. First, there are not that many 10-80 acre parcels anywhere on the island, let alone the spectacularly scenic Hamakua Coast. Second, to find a property with power, water, and telephone is [...]
Land in Seacliff Plantation on Kauai’s north shore is among the most beautiful and pristine anywhere in the world. One of Kauai’s extremely few gated communities, Seacliff Plantation is adjacent to the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge at Crater Hill, the ancient volcano that provides the back drop for Kilauea town. Located on Crater Hill, [...]
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 [...]
In my blog post about Kamehameha Day activities in North Kohala, I mentioned that the theme for the 2011 celebrations statewide was Wahine Holo Lio. Wahine means “woman” and we hope it is one of the first words visitors learn, so as to not make the wrong choice when visiting the lua (bathroom). The word [...]
“Fore!”—Hear that shout from this Wailea Golf Vistas home site. “Fore” is usually shouted as a warning during a golf game when it appears possible that a golf ball may hit other players or spectators. The mention of the term in an 1881 British Golf Museum indicates that the term was in use at least [...]
Waiki’i Ranch, having a fairly small inventory of homes and lots for sale, usually shows slower sales activity than the rest of the Big Island. I like to report on sales at Waiki’i Ranch, but so far, 2011 is proving to be a very difficult market for sellers at Waiki’i Ranch. There has only been [...]
Fun for everyone—Don’t miss this event July 22-31, 2011! If you live on Kauai, or if you will be visiting Kauai this summer, be sure to add this event to your calendar and help celebrate Old Koloa Plantation Days. This event takes place over several days and honors Kauai’s plantation days and the contributions made [...]
North Hawaii (Big Island) real estate agents have a rare opportunity this Friday to participate in a caravan focused on vacant land parcels in North Kohala…all of which are large, ocean view, or oceanfront acreages. Many are new releases to the market. I find it a fascinating comment on the direction of the North Kohala [...]
