Situated in the heart of Waimea town, this exceptional vacant lot is tucked away at the end of a private street within a small, tightly held enclave of charming homes and long-term local residents. As the final available building site within this established alcove, the property represents an increasingly rare opportunity to make your home in one of Waimea’s most desirable rural, yet in-town settings. Spanning half an acre of level grade and rich Waimea greenery, the parcel highlights views of Mauna Kea and surrounding pu'u offering the ideal balance of privacy, convenience, and development potential. Opportunities for vacant land of this caliber have become exceptionally scarce, particularly within established neighborhoods where ownership turnover is historically low. The property is part of a long established six-lot subdivision from 2002, where ownership has remained remarkably stable over the years. Notably, the last vacant lot within the subdivision sold nearly a decade ago in 2017, further underscoring the rarity of this offering. Ideally positioned near acclaimed schools, shopping, dining, and Queen's North Hawaii Community Hospital, the property provides a level of daily convenience to everything in town. The parcel is zoned RA-0.5A and is not subject to a Home Owner Association or CC&Rs, offering flexibility to design and build without many of the typical subdivision restrictions. Infrastructure improvements include full perimeter fencing.
