They say that a road less travelled can bring good fortune. This is one of those times when it makes sense to explore that place in time. When you are on Queen Kaahuma Highway traveling along it's beautiful corridor there are many available chances to turn towards the ocean and to go and see what lies in it's horizon. The beaches of the Big Island are plenty but the best ones are those that you do not hear about. Earl Bakken - Medtronic could have picked any place in the world to work and live. He choose the Kohala Coast and more specifically Kiholo Bay. Surrounded by it's natural beauty in all aspects and forms of wildlife these blueish ocean hues cannot be found anywhere else.

Properties on the Big Island are selling out in record numbers, take for example Hapuna Estates with a 40% sell off ratio already. So, where do those who want privacy and solace turn to then? They look far and beyond the typical real estate venture and find places like Puako and Kiholo Bay. When you come off the main highway and drive down the dirt gravel road towards the ocean you will see that it is only a few minutes before there is a private gate on your left. That gate exhibits some of the most highly sought after real estate on the big island of Hawaii as a whole. Even though the beach down at the main state park is not sandy or easily swimmable the lagoons and ponds are certainly plentiful.

Kiholo Bay is a last hidden secret. Those simply yet defining words really do sum it up to be precise. This rugged land we call the big island is a place that you either love or don't. People either get it or they do not. Sometimes we have visitors call us for showings and they wonder why there is so much black lava and how can the demand for real estate be so high. The answer is the remoteness and how it comes together coupling the feel of the exotic beaches. Kiholo Bay has a small pocket of luxury homes of 4 fee simple land parcels and 7 homes in total. This is off grid living at it's finest and you will feel as if nothing could even come close to matching the rarity of this luxury hawaii real estate location. Kiholo Bay park is protected and amasses 4,500 acres of heavenly Hawaiian lands.
