3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 732599 MLS ⋅ ['Fee Simple'] Tenure
Two side-by-side 3-acre parcels. Six acres total. One opportunity to create something truly your own. Located in the middle section of Fern Forest, the property is easy to access, with only a short stretch of unpaved road to traverse before you arrive. A gated entrance and established driveway lead back to a large cleared area that's already been graveled, creating an ideal starting point for future expansion. This 6-acre parcel includes two partially built houses, expansive areas to spread out and grow, and because this property is surrounded by mature ʻōhiʻa and native vegetation, the setting feels private and tucked away. You can't see a single neighbor, and even better, your neighbors can't see you. Whether your vision includes a workshop, garage, greenhouse, gardens, a home-based business, or simply room to spread out, this property offers the space to make it happen. The land is flat, giving you the flexibility to improve the property as you wish, rather than spending money on clearing and grading costs. The existing structures require significant renovation, and utilities need to be established, but this property provides a place to begin rather than starting from scratch. Some buyers will see work. The right buyer will see six acres, multiple structures, a head start, and the chance to build something that's entirely their own.
