PUIA ROAD Hilo, HI 96720

Just north of Historic Downtown Hilo, Pauka'a is one of the most desirable locations for a home in east Hawaii. The neighborhood is near schools, shopping, parks, medical services, government offices, restaurants, and the cultural heart of East Hawaii; its views overlooking Hilo Bay and the southern coastline of the island; and its location next to Honoli‘i Beach Park with year-round recreational surfing and family beach activities.
Another desirable aspect of the location is being on the slopes of Mauna Kea, which put the land outside areas of risk of lava inundation.
The availability of this ~5-acre lot is a rare opportunity. Few lots less than 10 acres exist so close north of Downtown Hilo and rarely do they become available to purchase. This lot has never been available before. Here you may build a home with a rural setting and space for farming, orchards, or perhaps pasturage for horses, cattle, sheep, or goats. The land can be farmed with a variety of crops, including tropical fruit, coffee, cacao, ginger, sweet potato, taro, and vegetable crops. The lot has County water service for domestic potable water: the water service lateral with the meter box is in place. (The meter box is located approximately 1,500 feet from the parcel with easement rights for utility and vehicular access, allowing a private line to the home site. Electric and Telephone service will require a line extension.
