The finely appointed North Kohala gated community of Kohala Ranch has much to offer in way of Hawaii's dramatic ocean view real estate. Large acreage living abounds starting with half acre lots working it's way upwards to 3 acres and even 10 acre private spreads. The community of Kohala ranch is tightly nit with some residents confirming that they have resided in the neighborhood since it's early inception and resolution date of 1986. "The Ranch" as most refer to it, is home to cattle grazing freely about as carefree as the wind that continues to blow around it. You can leave your doors open at night and feel safe in your gated estate within another guarded gate. Kohala Ranch quite simply is one of the best places in the world for coastline ocean views and Hawaii's premier gated luxury ranch lifestyle community.
Inside the Heathers which is located at the bottom of the community some of the most sought after views are selling for more than the other two locations in Kohala Ranch. The Heathers contains waterfront views and that is the main reason for the pricing. Lot's recently have been demanding high prices again as the Big Island luxury real estate market continues to make it's way towards appropriate levels. Inside the Heathers you can count on receiving the most amount of sunshine and warmer days than anywhere else inside Kohala Ranch. Elevation levels range between approximately 400-800 feet above sea level. Amazing new listings have been coming on market for single family vacant lots for anywhere in and around $300,000 if they have a view to remember.
The Meadows is situated right directly in the middle of Kohala Ranch on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is nicely position right in between the The Heathers and the Summit. It's 1,200 to 2,000 feet elevation is nothing short of providing just enough warmth and just enough coolness, especially at night. Keep in mind that the windy weather in all of Kohala Ranch can tend to be very strong at times. The Meadows is a location where some of the highest population is accumulated of residents inside the Ranch. There are winding roads and cul de sac locations that offer homes to seriously make the best buyer realize that there is no better place. The deals on the market offer great pricing as low has the high $100,000's going up to the low and mid $300,000's. Residents feel like they have the best of both worlds. They can get down the coast quickly and also up to Waimea through the north gate in the same amount of time.
"The Top of the World" is just one reference when hearing others talk about the Summit. Kohala Ranch's top community and the lush green landscapes it offers. More rainy then the lower two (the Heathers and the Meadows), the Summit offers 80 homesites with a wide variety of exquisite luxury estates and vacant land just waiting for the right buyer to draw their course and pallet. Acreage at the Summit is the largest with a maximum lot size of 10 acres. In Kohala Ranch the water supply is private so the bills can tend to be pricier than in other locations on the island. Once you see the views you too will realize why many have come to know it as a special gated community and a hidden Hawaiian secret.
