Description
A rare 30-acre ocean-view lava landscape. Three off-grid homes. A private amphitheater carved into black volcanic stone. A mango forest oasis—this is not just a property, but a vision already in motion. Welcome to a one-of-a-kind off-grid compound in Kalapana along historic Kaimu Chain of Craters Road near the iconic Red Road. Expansive ocean views, open skies, and a rare sense of space define this extraordinary setting. Three fully sustainable homes, each powered by its own solar system, provide independent living, with two currently generating rental income. At the center of the property, the Black Rock Amphitheater rises from the lava—a natural bowl transformed into a gathering space with stage, seating, and nearby support structures. The land’s unique lava microclimate offers excellent drainage, steady ocean breezes, minimal mold, fewer pests, and low maintenance compared to typical tropical environments. By night, smooth black lava reflects moonlight, creating a subtle, atmospheric glow across the landscape. A rare kipuka-like oasis of approximately five acres of old-growth mango trees provides shade and lush contrast within the surrounding lava field. A thoughtfully created internal road and layout provide natural flow and flexibility for expanded use, multiple dwellings, or a broader shared vision. Located near Kehena Black Sand Beach, Uncle Robert’s, Kaimu Farmers Market, and the Seaview community, the area is known for its vibrant culture, music, and movement-based gatherings. Seller has developed conceptual layouts, plans, and project materials that may be included, offering a meaningful head start. Seller financing available for qualified buyers.
