Secluded and self-sufficient, this exceptional home on Huanui Road sits in the coveted South Kona uplands. Tucked away near the top of a private road (2300ft elevation) and embraced by lush forest and a thriving orchard, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly hard to find on the Big Island. Whether you are looking for a peaceful full-time residence, a multigenerational family compound, or simply a place to put down roots and live off the land, this property delivers on every level. The newly constructed in 2026 1,760 sq ft custom main home 1 BD/1BA boasts a bright and airy open floor plan, brand new appliances, and multi-level decks perfect for enjoying the cool Kona upland air and serene forest surroundings. The separately situated 480 sqft structure 1BD/1BA, originally built in 1984 offers flexible use. Built for sustainability and long-term comfort, the property features a 5 bedroom septic system and a 20,000-gallon water catchment tank, giving you plenty of capacity and room to grow. The orchard is truly extraordinary, featuring an impressive and diverse collection of fruit-bearing trees and plants: soursop, navel orange, Valencia orange, Meyer lemon, Tahitian lime, mandarin orange, tangerine, kumquat, white grapefruit, jaboticaba, avocado, apple banana, jackfruit, rollinia, white sapote, lilikoi, guava, mango, ginger, cinnamon, coconut, macadamia, loquat, and fig. Located a short drive from from Kealakekua Bay, Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and the charming shops and dining of Captain Cook — with Kailua-Kona approximately 45 minutes north. A truly unique South Kona property that must be seen to be appreciated. Buyer/ Buyer's agent to confirm year built, square footage, number of baths, and permitting. Seller financing available

About
Honomalino
Honomalino, located between Miloliʻi and Hoʻokena, is a rural and coastal Hawaiian Ocean View neighborhood with rugged sea cliffs and wide-open mauka-to-makai views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the shoreline pullouts along Mamalahoa Highway (HI-11), where ocean lookouts, small fruit stands, and weekend roadside tables set an unhurried rhythm. Hoʻokena Beach Park and its oceanfront pavilion act as a social anchor for paddling, picnics, and sunset watching. Nearby, Hoʻokena Beach Park Snack Shack and Kona Boys in Captain Cook serve as familiar gathering points tied to the coast’s surf-and-paddle culture. Homes tend toward simple, spread-out footprints on larger lots, with lava rock, ironwood, and kiawe shaping the landscape. Life here follows the weather and the water, with South Kona’s fishing grounds and small harbors defining the geography.
