A clean, ready-to-build acre-plus homesite on the Hamakua Coast — ocean views, county water, power and a quiet, private setting right in the heart of a brand-new subdivision. This 1.007-acre parcel sits at roughly 1,000 feet elevation on Chin Chuck Road in Hakalau, the sweet spot for Hamakua living: cooler nights, great airflow, deep fertile soil, and some of the best growing conditions on the island, all about 25 minutes to major shopping. Prime small lots like this almost never come to market here — and when people look for the best land on the Hamakua Coast, Chin Chuck Road is often at the top of the list. This is one of five small-acreage lots now available in a brand-new subdivision — Lots A, B, C, D and F — most of which sit right next to each other. Multiple parcels this size side by side in this section of the Hamakua is something you just don't see. If you have family or friends who want to build nearby, this is your chance to put together a family compound or have people you trust close by. Buying more than one? The seller will make a deal on a bulk purchase. County water and power are available, and the borders the lot. The subdivision is bordered by mostly larger acreage lots including a 792-acre Ranch to the north. Very quiet, very private, with great neighbors and a real sense of community. One of the best farmer's markets on the Hamakua Coast runs every Tuesday at the bottom of Chin Chuck Road. Ocean access nearby at Kolekole Beach Park (newly renovated) and Hakalau Beach Park (when it reopens). Once these lots are gone, it could be a long time (if ever) before anything like this is available again.

Hawaiian Ocean View Estates - Price under tax assessed value, this long, narrow lot (70 x 623 ft), just over the halfway point up into Ocean View. It appears to have been at least partially graded in the past, but definite boundaries would need to be determined by a corner staking or a survey. The back portion of the lot slopes up, so there should be at least a sunset view and possibly even and ocean view, as well. Affordable land still exists in Hawaii, so come south and take a look! No Helco power poles in this block, but solar and wind power are good options. Water is by catchment system and wastewater is septic, both of which will need to be installed. Lava Zone 2, Flood Zone X. Ocean View has several small shopping centers for all your basic needs and a large post office. Here you'll also find gas stations, markets, restaurants, hardware and much more. Just over an hour north is Kailua-Kona with most major services and an international airport.
