Fern Forest, Puna Big Island Real Estate

Resting along the slopes of Mauna Loa is the community of Fern Forest. True to its unique name, this area is a densely forested region nestled between Puu Makaala Area Reserve and Kahaualea Natural Area Reserve. Ohia trees and Hapuu ferns are plentiful across much of the land here. The community offers a serene lifestyle away from the heat of the coastal areas. Parcels are divided into large lots, providing space and tranquility for residents. The Kahaualea Trail is accessible at the edge of Fern Forest for avid hikers.

Fern Forest is tucked back from Hawaii Route 130 leading towards Volcano Village a 7-minute drive away. The village holds a small collection of shops and restaurants as well as a popular weekly farmers market. The Volcano National Park is a 15-minute drive southwest, and the majestic views, hiking trails and archeological sites within the park are popular with residents and visitors. The temperate climate in this region is generally cooler than the tropical coastal areas, with temperatures ranging from the mid 50’s to mid 70’s Fahrenheit year-round and an average yearly rainfall of 200 inches.
