ALOHA :))) I am offering an opportunity for you to own my As-Is Fixer ... The home is situated near Captain Cook town and all its convenient markets, antique stores and collectible shops. It's in the city of "Ocean Park, Hawaii;" however, Captain Cook is more well known because it's famous for it's Kona coffee farms. The home is in the community of Ka'u. And NO, it's NOT in the direct path of a volcano. It sits on a hill, and if you walk around the block, you can see the ocean, hence HAWAIIAN OCEAN VIEW ESTATES (HOVE). Yes, it's a "fixer-upper" and it is being sold "as-is" but consider the possibilities of what you can do with an acre of land, with the mineral-rich soil in this area. Your closest neighbors are "Florists." There's also a nearby "Yurk Resort." The area is known world-wide for it's superb "Kona Coffee." And who hasn't tasted the deliciously, addicting "Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts." All of this, AND MORE, can be farmed or produced on your acre. PLUS!!!!... I 'heard' that growing medical "Marijuana" is another option. And there's also talk of a "Golf Course" opening in the area, which will quickly boost the property values in the area. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS ... A LITTLE ABOUT THE AREA: When the first Hawaiians migrated north, South Point at the foot of Mauna Loa is likely the first land they saw from their double hulled voyaging canoes. The Ka'u coastline is truly a majestic sight. The Ka'u district, which is the southernmost area of the Big Island and the southernmost tip of the U.S, is still a real estate frontier. This is largest district in the State, but the least populated. HAWAII VOLCANOES: At the northern boundary of the home lies Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, undeniably volcano goddess Pele’s domain ... And speaking of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, most visitors would be wise to forget anything they've seen or heard about the volcano long before they visit the island. The erupting volcano photos, the videos, and all the hype about lava everywhere are just that ... hype -- at lease at present. The media and the park create impossible expectations as they try to draw in the public. Most visitors will be surprised that Kilauea is nothing more than a smoking caldera with no visible lava. The only way to get up close and personal with the volcano is to take a helicopter tour that will take you over the current eruption location. Occasionally visitors may also be lucky enough to catch a surface pahoehoe lava flow near the end of the road; but all of these things can change in an instant. Most of the lava/magma is flowing underground to the ocean. Those who have an appreciation for geography or geology will love the park though. Despite Kilauea being the most active volcano on the planet, the volcanoes of Hawaii are nothing like their cousins on the west coast (Mt. St Helens or Mt. Rainier). They are not explosive and pose little threat to visitors on the island; and lava flow move at a turtle like speed that you could walk if necessary, no running required.

Recent proposed resort developments have met with strong community resistance, giving rise to active community groups dedicated to preserving the legacy of ancestral places and the old Hawaiian ways. Located deep in the hills of Ka'u is Wood Valley, where in 1980 His Holiness the Dalai Lama consecrated and dedicated the Nechung Dorje Drayang (??spell check?? :))) Ling Immutable Island of Melodious Sound as a Buddhist temple and retreat. Farther south, along the highway, are the small villages of Pahala and Naalehu. Farther still are the subdivisions of Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos, Green Sand, Mark Twain and Discovery Harbor. There are a variety of custom homes, off-grid homes, farms, ranch properties and ocean view lots in the area. And this one can be yours ... MAHALO :)
