Nature abounds at Ki’ilae Farms, and yesterday when I was out walking on Lot #47 I was fortunate enough to spot a pair of Hawaiian Hawks.
The ʻIo is the only hawk that is native to Hawaiʻi, and fossil evidence indicates that it inhabited the island of Hawaii, Molokai, Oahu, and Kauai at one time. Today, it is only known to breed on the Big Island in stands of native ʻōhiʻa lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees. The species is protected as an endangered species in the United States.
The Hawaiian hawk was a royal symbol in Hawaiian legend, and it is sometimes called “ʻIolani,” or “Exalted Hawk”, which was the name of Kamehameha IV and the ʻIolani Palace.
Lot 47 at Ki’ilae Farm has tremendous panoramic coastline views of Kealakekua Bay and Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park (City of Refuge). This lot is 7.791 acres and has been reduced from $725,000 to $479,000. These expansive ocean views are among the best in all of Hawaii. Lot 47 includes a charming country-style cabin near the top of the property, and has several acres planted with mature, ready-to-pick coffee. The lower half of the property has just been cleared and is would make an excellent second home site, or could be turned into the orchard of your dreams.offer expansive ocean views of undeveloped coastline.

Kiilae Farms sits in the heart of the Kona Coffee Belt, so you could extend the existing coffee farm, or you could plant the newly cleared land out with anything else you wish. Avocados, mangoes, bananas, macadamia nuts, breadfruit … anything you wish. All lots are zoned agricultural and are fee-simple. Once part of a ancient Hawaiian fishing village, today Kiilae Farms presents a rare opportunity to enjoy world-famous, unobstructed, South Kona sunsets in a private, gated community.
The lots are serviced by county water and all have underground utilities. Kiilae Farms has Puuhonua o Honaunau National Historic Park (City of Refuge) and its Alahaka Bay to the north. Conservation land is adjacent to the property to the south. To the west is the beautiful, blue Pacific Ocean.
