Welcome to life at the edge of paradise in Ki'ilae Farms, an exclusive gated community in Captain Cook on Hawai'i Island's coveted South Kona coast. This private 5-acre flag lot sits at the edge of Ki'ilae Bay offering rare proximity to two of Hawai'is most iconic ocean destinations: Honaunau Bay (Two Step) — consistently ranked among the world's top snorkeling spots known for crystal-clear water and vibrant reef life and Kealakekua Bay, a protected Marine Life Conservation District where Spinner Dolphins and Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles thrive in pristine waters. The 1871 Trail which can be accessed at the bottom of the community is part of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail which winds along the dramatic lava coastline and ancient Hawaiian pathways. Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park is just down the road and offers both cultural immersion and gentle coastal hiking suitable for all ages. Everyday conveniences - groceries, hardware and local dining - are just minutes away at Kealakekua Ranch Center. Approximately 50 minutes to Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport. This is more than a homesite - it's a gateway to a lifestyle defined by clear water, rich culture, coastal trails and the quiet luxury of space and privacy in one of Hawai'i Island's most treasure regions. Property Highlights: * 5-acre flag lot in a private, gated community. * Fully fenced. * County water meter installed and water to the NW corner of the lot. * Minimal building restrictions: Minimum 1,750 sf, Maximum 30 ft height. * Power available with no SSPP Cost Share. * Archaeological Preservation Study and Plan performed in the Subdivision and no site(s) were identified on this lot. * Topographic Survey done by Wes Thomas 05/24/22 and is attached. * Design Guidelines are attached.

Kauleoli 1 & 2 Ahupua`a, located between Kealakekua Bay and Hōnaunau Bay, is a coastal and rural Honaunau-Napoopoo neighborhood with lava-rock shorelines and mauka coffee-country slopes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the junction of Hawaiʻi Belt Road (HI-11) and Nāpō‘opo‘o Road, where small produce stands, ocean-view pullouts, and local plate-lunch counters set an unhurried rhythm. Housing trends toward low-slung island homes and small acreage lots framed by stone walls and kiawe. Days orbit the water—paddling, snorkeling, and shoreline walks—paired with inland drives through orchards and coffee farms. Community touchstones include Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, Kona Coffee Living History Farm, and the Painted Church.
