Great 2.667 acre lot in Orchidland Estates subdivision on Melekule Street and a wonderful home site (“the Property”). Orchidland Estates is in the Puma District on the eastern tip of the Big Island (County of Hawaii) and was unaffected by the recent volcanic eruption. The lot is approximately 125 feet wide and 696 feet long, which is standard in this part of the Big Island. Electricity is available from the Melekule street power lines. Orchidland has one of the most pleasantly active HOAs on the Big Island and publishes a monthly newsletter. There are lots of friendly people to meet and things to do at the developing Hui Hoaloha (the Gathering Place), and the HOA is aggressively paving the roads through out the subdivision. The Gathering Place is only 1½ miles from the Property. The Property lies very close to Hwy 130 (the Keaau Pahoa Road) and a 10 to 15 minute drive on Hwy 130 to the northwest is the town of Keaau, with shops, supermarkets, restaurants and parks. From Keaau, there is a beautiful hiking trail to famed Heana Beach one the best snorkeling beaches and often home to Green Turtles. Continuing northwest 4.8 miles is Hilo, the largest city on the Big Island and its county seat. Hilo offers breathtaking natural beauty plus all the amenities of an exciting town. On the other side of the volcanic Kohala Coast, the region is blessed with dramatic waterfalls, rainforests and blooming gardens. It’s also home to Hilo International Airport, the University of Hawaii at Hilo, the ‘Imiloa Astronomy Center, and the Merrie Monarch festival. The lava destroyed town of Kalapana lies 16 miles southwest on Hwy 130. However, Uncle Robert Awa’s Bar survived and on Wednesdays offers a terrific experience of authentic Hawaiian culture including handmade products, Hawaiian dishes, and music.. From Kalapana, Hwy 137 (the Kapoho Kalapana Road) follows the coastline for 15 miles and is one of the most scenic roads in the state of Hawaii. It ends by a wall of lava at the Isaac Hale Beach Park, a very diverse natural area. But, out of the lava destruction a new black sand breach was formed with four thermal ponds. With the purchase of this lot you can live or take long vacations in paradise.
