Set in the cool upper elevations of the District of Puna, at about 3,600 feet above sea level, this 20,000 sqft (more or less) vacant lot in Volcano could provide the serene hideaway you've been looking for. Here you'll find wild growth native flora like hapu'u and uluhe ferns and 'ohia trees, fragrant kahili ginger; and the sounds of native fauna like the red-breasted 'apapane and 'i'iwi birds, who greet visitors with their melodic singing - a one-of-a-kind bird-watching experience.

This lot is approximately 100 feet wide along Twelfth St., and 200 feet deep, per County tax maps. Overhead power is available via one-time fee SSPP fee to the electric utility to connect to their services, or live off-grid. Water source would be catchment (rain water); wastewater would be disposed of via a septic system. The Mauna Loa Estates subdivision has an active HOA with dues currently estimated at $126 per lot, per year, which goes to maintain the paved private roads.

Head west to visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park or Volcano Village, which offers gift shops, cafes and restaurants, a general store, gas station, post office, and art studios and galleries. Head east to Mountain View, Kurtistown, and Kea'au, where there are public and private schools, and additional grocery stores and restaurants; and the city of Hilo, approximately 30-45 minutes away, where major big box retail stores, shopping malls, the airport, and the hospital are located.
