About Kaieie Rd

Extraordinary opportunity to own 337 profound acres with majestic panoramic ocean & mountain views! The middle of Kapue Stream defines the Southwest boundary of the estate and then the river continues completely onto the property for almost half a mile with dramatic waterfalls and pools. Aleamai Stream runs along the top of the land, with forest along its banks. There are multiple possible home sites with stunning ocean, Hilo Bay, and mountain views. Adding value is a network of old cane roads that make the land easy to tour and explore - there is even an old airstrip.<br><br>This property offers a unique chance for someone looking to create their dream home with unparalleled allure and privacy, yet be only 11 miles from Hilo International Airport. The land, which rises from 1,100 to 1,700 ft., encompasses two distinct climate zones with small streams and springs, and would support truly sustainable living with incredible potential for farming a wide range of crops.<br><br>Although this property offers peace and seclusion rarely found in the modern world, it is just 8 miles from Hilo, the third biggest city in the state of Hawaii. Lush and beautiful, historical Hilo offers many restaurants, shops, galleries and theaters for movies and plays. <br><br>Currently the land is enriched by a rancher running cattle on a rotating basis. This helps control weeds and grasses and provides low taxes - although tax laws may change by 2026. New owner could allow ranching on all, part, or none of the land as they desire. <br><br>The area has temperate weather with ample rainfall, cooling trade winds and is less than a 20 minutes drive from Hilo with its many offerings, which include a large selection of Parks, Cafes, Restaurants, Bars, Farmer's Markets, Shopping Malls, and the Hilo International Airport. Hilo is home to Rainbow Falls, a majestic and easily viewable waterfall, Liliokalani Gardens and Coconut Island.
