Why they chose this property

Puakea Ranch is a one of a kind historic property that was desperately in need of recusing. Local developers re zoned the historic homestead to make room for one new luxury estate home. By putting the property on the Hawaii Historic Register and restore the original plantation era homes, we saved a great piece of history for Hawaii and North Kohala.

What makes this property unique

You really feel like you have stepped back in time to the heyday of the Hawaii Sugar and ranching era. Year round sunsets, views of Maui and So close to Hawi, Kapaau and Pololu Valley, we think this is one of the very best location on the island. Elopements, Special events, Private Parties.
