Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This is a vacant 3-acre residential land parcel in a wooded setting, with mostly native Ohia trees and ferns. The property has been staked by a licensed surveyor. The natural vegetation provides a forested character and habitat for native birds, and it is positioned for buyers who want to develop while preserving some of the existing native landscape. Prospective buyers should use care when entering the lot, as the native forest may obscure portions of the topography.
The parcel is located less than a mile from pavement. Fern Forest Vacation Estates is described as being about 35 minutes from Hilo and about 15 minutes from Volcano Village, where gas, groceries, shops, post office, school, restaurants, Volcano National Park, and a fire station are available. The community includes yearly road maintenance fees of approximately $200 per year and, per the remarks, no CC&Rs.
Utilities are not currently established on the property, though overhead electric is available through HELCO via pole number 18, with a one-time SSPP fee of $2,844 per the provided information. Future water is planned through rain catchment, and future wastewater is planned through a private septic system. As always with vacant land, buyers are encouraged to independently verify key details, including topography, utility availability, and any information provided by third parties.
