Rare small-acreage lot on the Hamakua Coast with ocean views, county water, power right at the lot, and producing lychee trees — ready to build on. This 1.549-acre parcel sits at roughly 900–1,000 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 is open to discounted bulk purchases. County water available — buyer just needs to install a meter. Power poles border this lot. The lot is mostly fenced with existing wire fencing, and it has healthy, producing lychee trees that are full of fruit right now. 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). CC&R's are noninvasive and primarily cover view protection. No association dues for this lot. Once these lots are gone, it could be a long time (if ever) before anything comparable comes up on Chin Chuck Road.

Rare 4.8-acre producing lychee orchard in Pepeekeo with ocean views, private gated access, and one of the most convenient locations on the Hamakua Coast — a turnkey income property and beautiful private home site in one. The parcel sits just off Highway 19 in Pepeekeo, the sweet spot of the lower Hamakua: about 1 minute to the highway and 15 minutes to Hilo. Far enough back to avoid road noise across most of the lot. Ideal elevation and climate for growing — strong sun, reliable rainfall, deep fertile soil. The land is planted with roughly 140 mature, healthy, producing lychee trees — a strong cash-flow opportunity from day one for a buyer who wants to step into a working orchard. Strong fit for agricultural financing — listing agent has multiple ag lenders pre-vetted for this property (Hilo Farmers Union, USDA-Rural Dev, and others) and can connect qualified buyers directly. Ag classification keeps property taxes low. Multiple natural home site options behind the orchard, or clear a few trees for a larger build. Ocean views from several spots on the lot. Quiet, private, highly desired pocket of Pepeekeo with a real sense of seclusion. This is a newly created lot from a recent TMK consolidation. As part of that, the front section of the parent parcel is being preserved as a view corridor for the benefit of this lot — the existing row of podocarpus trees will be removed and the area kept clean. Permanently protected viewshed and no neighbor building in front of you — a real long-term asset baked into the property. Private gated access right off Sugar Mill Road. Lava Zone 8. A producing orchard at this scale, with a beautiful home site, ocean views, privacy, and freeway-quick access, almost never comes to market in Pepeekeo. Once it's gone, expect a long wait for anything comparable.
