Discover the possibilities with this partly cleared 3-acre parcel in Fern Forest Vacation Estates, located approximately half a mile from the paved road. The property features a natural landscape of native ʻōhiʻa trees and ferns, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by Hawaiʻi Island’s lush beauty. Conveniently located approximately 30 minutes from Hilo and 15 minutes from Volcano Village, with access to shopping, dining, gas, post office, schools, fire station, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Property is vacant land. No representations or guarantees are made regarding the topography of the subject property. Property boundaries can only be confirmed by a licensed surveyor. Seller will not pay for survey or staking. Fern Forest Vacation Estates has annual road maintenance fees and no CC & Rs. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify all information regarding the property, utilities, development requirements, and community.
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.
