Why start from scratch when so much of the hard work is already done? Copy and Paste Video Link: https://1drv.ms/v/c/c2b9eaaee683ab7c/IQDKMyZymJiYR4Xr-JBeQiY8Aer1ABcVi8zj5Ci7myJu3A0?e=Ph5Wi8 This spectacular 3-acre parcel in gated Kona Garden Estates is already on its way toward becoming someone’s Hawaiʻi home. With sweeping ocean, coastline, sunrise and sunset views, five leveled building sites, gravel driveways, approved plans, an active building permit, approved septic, foundation forms in place, and catchment preparation underway, this is far more than just vacant land. The property has been thoughtfully graded to create multiple usable areas for the home, garage, workshop or other future improvements. Gravel has been brought in for the driveways, with access available from both Kona Gardens Road and Jacaranda Drive. A small storage building is already on site and has been used for storage and as an occasional place to stay while working on the property. The long-term plan is for it to serve the water pump and utility needs. The catchment area has been leveled and prepared with sand, and the metal tank surround is on site awaiting installation along with the liner. Foundation forms for the permitted home are already in place. Mature old-growth ʻōhiʻa trees remain throughout the property, adding character and a beautiful contrast to the cleared and terraced areas. With so much preparation already completed, a new owner can focus on moving the project forward instead of spending months just getting started. Another unique aspect of this location is relatively easy access to Road to the Sea through a separate locked gate at the bottom of the subdivision. Take advantage of the approved plans, active permit, completed site preparation, and incredible ocean views — this Kona Garden Estates property is already well on its way.
