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.

This is a rare 3 acre "square" lot in Fern Forest Vacation Estates located on paved road. On Kilika road there is a gated entrance with driveway that leads to the cleared building site. The building site is tucked neatly away using the natural vegetation of hapuu ferns and ohia trees as a natural privacy barrier. The natural vegetation creates a private serene setting for the future home. A cesspool has already been put in to adding even more value to this property. Much work and maintenace has gone in to make this lot so much more than others in this area. Fern Forest Vacation Estates is located in cool Volcano and only minutes from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Volcano Village, and the Volcano Golf and Country Club.
