Overview

Rare Hawaiian Forest Land

This property presents an exceptional opportunity to own and steward a rare Native Hawaiian Dry Land Forest, located 35 minutes south of Kona Town. Situated between 4800 ft and 5800 ft elevation along the private paved Puu Lehua Drive, this unique ecosystem is among the rarest on Earth. Over the past 14 years, the land has been dedicated to restoring this treasured forest, honing a process for producing valuable Sandalwood Oil to fuel ongoing restoration. The Santalum Paniculatum species of Sandalwood, native to this land, yields oil regarded as the highest quality. Restoration efforts include harvesting dead and dying trees and implementing innovative methods to revitalize the forest. Thousands of invasive species have been eradicated, feral animals removed, and fences and firebreak roads built. Thousands of native trees have been planted, resulting in resurgence of the forest and an increase in rainfall from 18 inches to 36 inches per year. A professional inventory has been conducted, revealing Sandalwood and Koa trees valued at millions. The 636.7-acre property is zoned A-20A and offers a great location for a bird hunting lodge, providing an excellent habitat for pheasants and other game birds. It is also a perfect location for a wellness or family retreat. Roads have been designed and built for easy access to potential home sites that offer stunning ocean and mountain views.
