There’s a new listing (MLS# 251301) on ten acres with a horse barn priced at $1,450,000 (pictured below). The majestic grey mountain of Mauna Kea, now baked dry from months without rain, carve a silhouette against a powder blue sky. The pastures with wandering livestock give way to crunchy flaxen gasses as the Chucker’s announced the [...]
This month, I am assisting several prospective buyers with similar criteria: they own horses and are interested in properties for sale in a Big Island gated community with shared equestrian facilities. There are two options: Puu Lani Ranch which is near Kailua Kona Waikii Ranch which is near Waimea (Kamuela)
With 360 degree pastoral scenery up at Waiki’i, this is a great 2,117 sq. ft. home (MLS# 240386) with stunning sunsets and ocean views. If you have or want to keep horses on the property, you can keep them on this 10.59 acre estate.
Last month finally saw an end to the drought in home sales in Waiki’i Ranch when a large home on Palekaiko Road (MLS# 240078) sold for $1,150,000. This home had been listed at $1,295,000 and had been on the market for 253 days before finding a new owner. Known for its towering glass windows that [...]
It is really a slow summer for real estate sales in Waiki’i Ranch on the Big Island with no sales in June, July, or August (as of today) for either lots or homes. The last sale for anything in Waiki’i was a May sale for a lot at $180,000.
One of the best things about traveling is the opportunity to connect and reconnect with colleagues all over the world. Being in San Francisco last week for the Inman Connect conference (#icsf)—offered the opportunity to reconnect with some established friends and colleagues, and network with some new ones! I love visiting the Bay Area—born and [...]
Waiki’i Ranch looks beautiful now that the rains returned several months ago and brought back the green grass. Unfortunately, the buyers have not yet returned to Waiki’i, and with six 10-acre lots listed for sale, this is a 3 year supply of lots. The current inventory of 10-acre lots ranges from a low of $245,000 to [...]
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 [...]

Last month, I started looking at Waiki’i Ranch home sales  from the viewpoint of inventory. When there is more than a 6 month supply of homes on the market it is considered to be a buyer’s market and if it is under 6 months it is called a seller’s market. In February, with a 15 month inventory of homes [...]
This Waiki’i Ranch home (MLS# 240386) is the most delightful home on the most scenic lot. If you have wanted a cool climate with green meadow-like pastures around you, this is it.

This month, I’m going to start something new in my monthly analysis of Waiki’i Ranch real estate sales. In addition to my ongoing monthly recap of real estate sales in Waiki’i, I’m going to take a look at where the current inventory of available homes for sale is in relationship to the number of sales [...]
The year closed on a slow note for Waiki’i Ranch with no sales recorded for homes or lots in December. There were also no homes or lots put into escrow, so at this point there are still no properties in escrow at Waiki’i. This lot (MLS# 222189) has Maui views and with a recent price [...]
After a dry spell that seemed to go along with the lack of rain, Waiki’i Ranch had a home sale last month as the winter rains returned. The first home sale in four months was for a 3 bedroom home on 10 acres, listed at $895,000 sold at $760,000. This is the first sub one [...]
Surprising trend: While sales of vacant land in North Kohala and Waimea (Kamuela) have been strong over the past 12 months, almost all of the action is outside of the gated communities, such as Puakea Bay Ranch and Waikii Ranch. Prime, ready-to-build, 10-acre lots like these are available at Puakea Bay Ranch near Hawi (MLS# [...]
