About Kaupakuea
Ahupua`a
Kaupakuea Ahupua`a, located between Hakalau and Honomu, is a rural and coastal Pepeekeo neighborhood with a plantation-era landscape and dramatic gulches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hawaiʻi Belt Road (HI-19) corridor near the Pepeʻekeo Post Office, where small local stops and oceanward lookouts set a working, wind-swept tone. Hamakua Harvest anchors the area’s farmstand culture, while the Hawaiʻi Tropical Botanical Garden and the Onomea Bay Trail bring a strong sense of place through rainforest paths and shoreline views. Homes and lots read as country-scaled, with greenery pressing close to the road and long views opening toward the Pacific. Daily life follows the terrain—bridges, streams, and steep valleys shaping routes and routines.

This is a remarkable property in a stunning gated and private community of Pepeekeo Point! This parcel is one of the rare parcels that is almost oceanfront! Look at the map and you will see a large leg of land that protrudes out in the water; this is visible from the bottom portion of this property and is excellent for fishing and watching the ocean! Wow. This parcel is 4.31 acres and approx half of the property has been cleared and is mowed. Cleared grassy photos are from the top portion of the property nearest the road. Then a lovely streams flows through the property, and on the other side are hundreds of palms and other tropical foliage. All of the photos in this listing are current and recently taken. The cleared photos were taken from walking on the property. Most of the forested photos and most of the ocean photos were taken by accessing the old cane road that is maintained for fisherman to have access to the coastline. This is a property owned by someone that runs along the bottom side of the parcels and allows the fisherman access to the coastline. Potential buyers with their agents and a four-wheel drive car can access the bottom side of the subject parcel for viewing purposes only. Potential buyers must negotiate with the property owner to obtain their own easement to use this access for their property, if possible. To access the bottom portion of the property without this access; would likely require clearing a lot of palm trees and probably building some kind of bridge over the stream. Buyers must do their own due diligence on this property. It is a bank owned property and NO disclosure statement will be provided. Every effort has been made for accuracy, but since some info was provided by third parties, NO warranty or guaranty of any kind is given and buyers and their agents MUST independently verify any information they deem material or important in making and offer or in the price offered.
