Located just 3.5 miles from downtown Hilo, this incredible Kaiwiki Road property is the perfect location for a country home or farm, while still having easy access to town. The sale includes the primary 8.19 acre parcel and adjoining 5.42 acre back parcel (TMK#3-2-6-10-100), for a total of 13.61 acres potentially allowing for an additional residence, family compound, or countless other uses! There are sweeping views of Hilo Bay and the ocean horizon from multiple potential building sites, and access to the fresh water Ma'ili stream from the back parcel. There is a small permitted efficiency dwelling with amazing views that has overhead power and metered county water, the perfect place to fix up and stay while you build your dream home. A lot of work has been done, with a driveway in place, existing structure, utilities, tractor shed, and plenty of cleared spaces for building, this incredible property is ready for your project to start! Both parcels were recently cleared of invasive trees which were mulched in place to add to the already fertile soil. Kaiwiki is known for its ideal climate for growing tropical fruits and vegetables and is home to many successful farms and agricultural operations. Adjoining lots on lower Kaiwiki Road rarely come on the market, this unique property is not to be missed!
Kaiwiki, located between Hilo Bay and the Wailuku River, is a residential and coastal Hilo neighborhood with ocean-facing bluffs and rainforest edges. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hawaiʻi Belt Road (HI-19) corridor near the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, where shoreline views meet a low-key strip of local eateries and small services. Pillars nearby include the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Coconut Island (Mokuola), and the Pacific Tsunami Museum, tying everyday life to Hilo’s waterfront history. Homes range from mid-century hillside residences to plantation-era forms, often oriented to trade winds and mauka-to-makai views. Short drives connect to beach parks, canoe paddling, and the banyan-lined shoreline. Frequent rain keeps the landscape lush, with gulches and palms shaping the streetscape.
