Description

Incredible Value on a Slice of "Old Hawaii" – 1.86 Acres in the coastal off-grid community in Waa Waa. Discover the magic of East Hawaii with this exceptional property, nestled in the serene coastal community of Waa Waa—home to one of the Big Island’s most desirable microclimates. Enjoy abundant sunshine, refreshing trade winds, and just the right amount of rain to keep everything lush and green. Property has mature mango, avocado, vanilla bean and soursop trees. This is classic “Old Hawaii”. The front of the property is less than 200 feet from the ocean allowing for an ocean view from a home built on it! Years ago some of the groundwork was completed. This included dozing a partial driveway starting in the lot, dozing a building pad, and adding cinder (all currently overgrown). There is also an old pool/deck structure present that may or may not be usable. All this gives you a good head start for creating your dream off-grid homestead or tropical retreat. Waa Waa residents share access to a scenic approx. 30-foot-wide easement along the coast, perfect for exploring and ocean views. You're are minutes from great fishing spots and the "Mermaid ponds" - natural tide pools in the area. The drive down Old Government Beach Road towards the property is spectacular. You will pass under hundred-year-old mango trees mixed into the canopy of lush and verdant jungle. This is something few have the opportunity to see let alone live in. To the south, 15 minute drive down the newly rebuilt Highway 137, reopening in 2026, you can enjoy the Pohoiki area with its community park, and hot ponds. Further along the coast lies the iconic Kehena Black Sand Beach, where you can swim in the deep blue waters of the Pacific. For shopping, dining, and essentials, the eclectic town of Pahoa is only about 15 minutes away. Properties like this—at this price, with an ocean view, in a great location—don’t come along often. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of paradise!
