Welcome to this rare offering on the Hamakua Coast on the Big Island: a scenic half acre bare land parcel located within a few hundred feet from the ocean’s edge.

Near to the retired Paauilo plantation mill, this property (MLS #665748) is surrounded by a large parcel with grazing animals offering a peaceful and tranquil setting. Easements and gates are in place and guide you through the very private access. Great views of the ocean, a gently sloped topography, new (2018) perimeter fencing, and established plants adjacent to the property provide a great windbreak.

Due to the proximity to the ocean, the property is within SMA (Special Management Area) but not to worry, the county has confirmed it is a buildable parcel. The Department of Water Supply confirmed a water meter is available but the property is quite a far distance from where the water meter would be installed (approx. 1,500ft+). The current owners once investigated their options for a well and it was deemed possible (but never installed). New buyers are recommended to investigate their options for water/power (and any other utilities of importance), and the process of applying for a building permit with an SMA application. $15 monthly road maintenance fees for the private road usage through Paauilo Camp Community Association but there are no CC&R’s for the property. Seller will consider owner financing with at least 25% down.

A short drive away is the charming and Historic Honokaa Town w/ restaurants, galleries, shopping, theater, medical clinic, weekly farmers market, and a short drive to Waipio Valley. Approximately 30 minutes drive to Waimea with world-class restaurants, hospital, and highly regarded private schools.
