Rarely available, exceptionally private 3-acre parcel located off the Upper Cane Haul Road, perched high above the stunning, expansive Kaʻu coastline. This quiet road runs parallel to Highway 11 between Nā‘ālehu and Pāhala. (3.2 miles from Punalu'u Bake Shop) The wooded property is bordered on three sides by State land, offering outstanding privacy. Currently used as pasture, it is ideal for horses, with many excellent riding trails nearby. The land features rich soil, grassy areas, and breathtaking panoramic ocean views. Choose from three potential building sites surrounded by mature eucalyptus trees, shrubs, and abundant natural vegetation. Enjoy an excellent climate at approximately 1,800 feet above sea level. The property includes undeveloped, deeded access to an agricultural water source. This is tropical country living at its finest.
Kaunamano Homesteads, located between Naalehu town center and the Kaʻū Forest Reserve, is a rural and residential Naalehu neighborhood with wide-lot homestead roads and big-sky pasture views. The neighborhood reads as low-slung single-family homes, working yards, and long driveways framed by windbreaks and ʻōhiʻa. Character concentrates around the Mamalahoa Highway (HI-11) junction by Naalehu’s small commercial strip, where plate-lunch counters, local markets, and service shops set the daily rhythm. Punaluʻu Bake Shop, Kaʻū Coffee Mill, and the Kaʻū Center for the Arts act as cultural anchors for the wider Kaʻū district. Trade winds, open fields, and mauka-to-makai vistas shape an outdoors-forward routine. Evenings feel quiet, with dark skies and the distant soundscape of the highway fading into pastureland.
