Property Description
Step back in time with this unique 9.49-acre property, just 10 minutes from historic Honokaa town. This land was once a thriving macadamia nut farm and still holds the remnants of its past—including mature macadamia nut trees, cherry blossoms, citrus, avocado, coffee, and more.
The 1951-built home offers approx. 1,190 square feet of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. With charming details, it has great potential but will require some TLC (per the sellers, at the very least, a new roof is needed, along with a water heater, and termite treatment). There is also a small unfinished basement and a former Japanese-style wood-fired bathtub room in rough condition—ready for someone with a vision. The property is being sold as is.
A seasonal ravine, Waikaalulu Gulch, winds through the land, adding beauty and character while creating a natural division of the property. A bridge once connected the two sides and would need to be rebuilt to access the full acreage. While the original mac nut processing building is no longer standing, its old concrete foundations and other decorative elements around the home evoke the story of an earlier time.
Whether you're looking for a restoration project, a small farm, or a setting to have a home, this property offers a rare opportunity to create something special. All just a short drive from restaurants, shops, schools, and amenities in charming Honokaa.
