While most people associate the Holualoa region with Kona coffee farms and quaint B&B’s, the upper elevations are abundant with ranch land. This 20-acre Holualoa Ranch is just such a property (MLS# 256464).
With a spectacular location on the top of a knoll overlooking the Kona Coast, this private 20-acre parcel has good soil and seasonal streams. Consisting of a 3 bedroom, 3 bath custom ranch home of over 2,500 square feet and a detached barn, this property has plenty of potential to be a number of different types of properties all at once.

Holualoa Ranch Home Features
The custom floor in the Living Room was designed by Shelly Maudsley White with a Jotul wood burning stove and custom lava rock hearth. The heavenly scent of the vaulted cedar ceiling impressively matches the cedar-paneled Dining Room and its panoramic Kona coastline views.
The opulent Master Suite, with its own private deck, vaulted ceilings, office area, and over-sized tub has that true luxury feel, but with a country feel that ties the interior together beautifully.
Vaulted cedar ceiling and lava rock hearth are the very definition of the word “cozy”

Holualoa “Off-the-Grid” Luxury Living
The home features standard 120v electricity powered by photovoltaic panels, with a diesel generator as back up for cloudy days. This system is low maintenance and completely automatic.

Located at about 2,400′ elevation in Holualoa, there is currently about 18 of the 20 acres in pasture. Surrounding the house are bananas and fruit trees, not to mention the expansive lawns. There is a separate storage building that houses a 60,000 gal catchment water tank, a storage area, a work area, and the photovoltaic/generator system. The pasture and home have been professionally fenced with galvanized fencing.
It’s hard to believe that this type of home is available in of all places Holualoa, Hawaii. However, it’s just another reason why the Big Island attracts so many estate Buyers from all parts of the globe.
A hui hou!
