Property Description

Nestled in the lush beauty of Hawaiian Paradise Park on the Paradise side of 12th Avenue, this one-acre property captures the essence of easy island living in the heart of the Puna District. Currently uncleared, it offers a fresh canvas to shape your vision, allowing you to decide how much of the natural landscape to preserve for shade, beauty, and ultimate privacy. Surrounded by tropical greenery, the setting feels peaceful and grounded, with many already established homes that create a sense of community while still allowing for space and seclusion. The sounds of native birds carry through the air, and gentle trade winds move through the landscape, creating that calm, everyday rhythm people come to Hawaiʻi for. While the environment feels tucked away, the location keeps you comfortably connected. Just a short drive brings you into Keaʻau, where local favorites like Kaleo’s Bar & Grill, Blane’s Drive Inn, and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf make it easy to grab a bite with your morning coffee. Throughout the area, you’ll also find a variety of popular food truck stops offering an ever-changing mix of local favorites and international cuisine. As you head into the quaint town of Pāhoa, it carries a nostalgic, almost frozen-in-time charm that feels reminiscent of the 1970s, while also offering a growing mix of newer eateries, shops, and local spots that add to its unique appeal. From here, you’re approximately 20 to 25 minutes to Hilo Airport and about 25 to 30 minutes to Downtown Hilo during non-peak commuting hours, offering convenient access to shopping, services, and oceanfront activities while still coming home to the quiet, natural surroundings that make Hawaiian Paradise Park so desirable. It’s a place where mornings begin with birdsong, evenings settle under open skies, and the balance between convenience and tranquility simply feels right.
