Section 1, located between Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and the Puna District, is a rural and forested Fern Forest neighborhood with lava-rock lots and a canopy of ʻōhiʻa and hapuʻu ferns. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highway 11 corridor near the Fern Forest Road junction, where small roadside stands, mailboxes, and service pull-offs set a practical, off-the-grid rhythm. Homes tend toward modest cabins and single-story builds tucked into dense greenery, with long driveways and minimal street lighting. Rainy afternoons and birdsong shape daily routines, and the air often carries a cool, upland feel. Weekend errands and casual meetups orbit local stops such as Kilauea Lodge, Volcano Garden Arts, and the Volcano Art Center.

20 acres of Kopua Farm Lots finest! At less than a mile from Kahikopele Street, this parcel is close to the front of the neighborhood and easy to get to. Five minutes from the highway assures convenient road access to just about anywhere, but also assures relatively little through traffic. Small ohia, ferns, and grass cover most of this lot with a few waiwi and wild orchids scattered across the remainder of the property. Off-grid living and sustainable farming are ideal in Mountain View as there is plenty of sun for power and plenty of rain for catchment systems and almost any type of agricultural use. Mountain View is centrally located between Hilo and the Volcanoes National Park providing easy access to the mountains and the beaches, if you decide you need to leave the property for anything. Hilo is the County seat with government offices, restaurants, shopping, beaches, parks, the University of Hawaii Hilo, and the Hilo International Airport. Volcano is home to the National Park, galleries, a winery, and so much more to be explored. This idyllic parcel in Kopua Farm Lots is the perfect place to make a small footprint while taking big steps toward your Hawaii future.
