The location keeps you close to Ala Moana Center, Don Quijote, Sam’s Club, and the growing Keeaumoku district.

With some TLC, the 3-bedroom, 1-bath layout is poised to shine, balancing classic character with everyday comfort. Mornings begin on the front porch, where relaxing ocean views and cool breezes set an easy rhythm to the day.

Set on nearly four acres in Hilo, this flag-lot parcel offers a rare mix of breathing room and in-town convenience—without CC&Rs. A full K-2 survey has just been completed, and the owned cherry-stem entrance spans over 17 feet wide, creating a notably generous approach that’s not an easement. County water is in place with a meter installed at the front of the property (additional connection fees apply), with Hawaiian Electric Light service noted as available to check. Within a recently created subdivision of newer homes on small-acreage parcels, the setting feels distinctly country while remaining close to town amenities. There’s ample space for horses, cows, other animals, outbuildings, parking, and an “amazing garden,” plus a paved private road for reliable access. Ocean horizon views are possible, depending on your building site.
