Nestled among native ohia trees, uluhe, and lush Volcano forest, this approximately 10,000-square-foot lot offers a unique opportunity in Royal Hawaiian Estates. Purchase this lot to build your new home, preserve it as a long-term investment, or create additional privacy and separation for the home located on the adjacent flag lot behind it. The seller prefers to sell this parcel together with the neighboring home, allowing the future owner of the home to maintain a natural forested buffer from Alaula St and expand the overall sense of privacy. For an owner of the adjacent home, this parcel provides an opportunity to protect the peaceful, wooded setting while adding approximately 10,000 square feet to the property. For another buyer, it presents the opportunity to secure a buildable parcel in Volcano and create a home surrounded by the area's characteristic native forest. Located just minutes from Volcano Village and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, this property offers the cool, lush environment and peaceful setting that define the Volcano lifestyle.
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.
