The view from this high Summit lot is spectacular: a 180-degree panorama of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, Kona and Kohala coastlines, Haleakala on Maui, and a wide expanse of deep blue ocean to the far west horizon where the sun sets. At an elevation of almost 3, 000 ft, the property has cooler temperatures and is well away from sea level climate issues. This is a very special parcel that includes remnants of several old Hawaiian temporary dwellings and rock walls from an old-time agricultural station. These features have been fully inventoried and documented, and do not interfere with the large building envelope on the land. The current owners have arranged with the ranch next door to graze cattle, so taxes are kept very low, and the 10.803 acres are easily walkable. The perimeter of the land is fully fenced. There is a 20-foot equestrian easement along the north side of the property. The land is cleared and awaits a landscaping plan befitting this exceptional site. A plan for a 4, 000+ sf home with large pool was approved by the County, likely facilitating any future approval processes. The nearest Ranch entrance to the property is along Kohala Mountain Road, famous for its gigantic stands of eucalyptus and ironwood trees. The Ranch is meticulously maintained, with staffed gated access, underground utilities, and immaculate roads. The nearby towns of Hawi and Waimea embody local color and casual fine dining. The nearest swimming beach is Hapuna, consistently rated one of the best beaches in the world. The nearest resort is the Mauna Kea Beach, with excellent dining, world class golf, and the luxurious Mandara Spa.
