This 14,375 sq ft lot offers a potential permit transfer for a 5-bedroom home and is set within a peaceful residential community known for its rural charm, gentle trade winds, and lush surroundings in the historic Hāmākua District on the Island of Hawaiʻi. Surrounded by some of the Big Island’s most breathtaking scenery, the property is near Waipiʻo Valley, Waipiʻo Valley Lookout, dramatic cliffside ocean views, and nearby black sand beaches. Just a short walk away, enjoy sweeping ocean horizons and the rugged beauty that defines this coastline.

Despite its tranquil setting, the property is only a short drive to Honokaʻa Town, with convenient access to local cafés, shops, schools, and markets. This is a rare opportunity to build, invest, and live your legacy along one of Hawaiʻi Island’s most timeless and scenic coastlines.
