Towering sea cliffs arising from the oceanfront floor as waves crash amongst it's foothills. North Hilo is home to one of the most dramatic backdrops any Hawaii seeker could ever ask for. In this lush and green area it is all about the land. Sprawling large acreage estates and oceanfront mansions sit tucked away privately away from the main road. Just 15 minutes from downtown Hilo yet worlds away, North Hilo is an uncompromising alternative to living in South Kona or North Kohala. The sunrises on this side of the island as they come up over the horizon as enchanting and very special. Laupahoehoe is a sleepy little village in North Village in which strong community ties and bonds have been forged over many years. Everyone knows each other and waves Aloha when passing by. The large fauna in the area provides farmers and growers with the ability to cultivate almost anything they wish. Chocolate farms, protea, bamboo, and many exotic flowers are all part of the businesses represented here. The fantastic orange crownshaft is a hybrid Areca palm that several rare growers have had success with here. Real estate in North Hilo is starting to see serious pent up demand.
North Hilo is dominated by large acreage parcels and homes with deep growing soil. Back in the day it was all about the sugar plantations and an era that seemed like there was nothing else to worry about. Gone are those days as you will see several mills and plants overgrown from being shut down. There are however some impressive plantation managers homes left in the area that still resemble the old yesteryears of a time that once stood still. Beautiful waterfalls coupled with serene ocean views are portrayed in many ways in several of the listings at most times. Homes with ranching and farming capabilities are passed down from generation to generation providing the opportunity for the younger generation to partake in the woven education of our elders. Many buyers also come here to seek solitude and refuge away from the busy world as we know it today.
The reason the soil is so deep and rooted is because of the good amount of rain and lack of any recent lava flows. Instead, waterfalls on massive land parcels are ready to be explored as they have sat untouched and unspoiled for many centuries. These priceless lands were world and cultivated for years during the sugarcane era. History books have been written at great length and in depth analysis as to all the little sugarcane dirt roads that pass though these parcels. Now overgrown in large grass and other massive greenery, North Hilo is almost like a silent magical place that sits quietly at peace. North Hilo is smaller than most would imagine as far as the context of listings in the MLS is concerned. Typically there are around 10 single family homes or estates on the market at any one time. With prices ranging from as low as $300,000 all the way up to $5-$10 million. There are no condos in the area which makes it quiet nice for those seeking that spread out low density lifestyle. When it comes to land and vacant lot listings there are close to 30. Priced as high as $6-$9 million the most dreamiest of estates are awaiting your palette.
