RE: Hawaiian Acres - sunnhippie - 08-03-2006
Thank you Scott & Lucy for the horsey advice. Does anyone know if any of Hawaiian Acres roads support internet cable (Roadrunner)? Do all the roads have electricity available(I know a bit about the SSSP.) Obligatory road or electricity fees from the association? Any plans of paving more roads than 1 & 8? Any idea what it costs to bulldoze/rip a lot? (I would like an acre in the back cleared for the horse and an S driveway through the trees.) I hear the contractors are pretty slow - feasible to build a house within a year? Sorry for the barrage of questions, but really appreciate the quick answers!

So I think some of my family is going to be taking a quick trip out to Puna to check on places we like for sale and maybe meet a few of you wonderful people...But someone told us it's horribly humid this time of year? Man it's been humid where we are so how bad is it there?
RE: Hawaiian Acres - John S. Rabi - 08-04-2006
You kidding, right? Some of the roads actually are just tire tracks there and there are many many many properties where neither power nor telephone service are available. I attende one Homeowners Association Meetings a few years ago, most people do not want paved roads there, they are happy living with what they have. Bulldozing there will be very expensive if your lot is in the "boonies" and not easily accessible since the truck carrying the bulldozer will not be able to get there. If you decide to build make sure you will be staying there during construction, the walls of my friend's house just disappeared during construction one day.

RE: Hawaiian Acres - JaniSan222 - 10-01-2006
Hi, I'm brand new here on this forum, but I've been lurking around reading up as much as I can about Hawaiian Acres. Many thanks to Leilaniguy for directing my questions to this forum!
This is an awesome forum, and the insight and information, along with the aloha is absolutely wonderful!
I have a question for Hawaiian Acres... I've read on
the http://www.hawaiianacres.org site that there are caves below HA. It sounds very exciting to go explore, but How deep are they, and if there's an earthquake, is there a chance that HA might sink into it? I'm hoping to find a parcel of land on the
lower areas like F and G, hopefully around rds 8 and 9, since I've read that the soil around there is pretty deep.
For now those are my 2 questions, I know I will have plenty more later, if you folks aren't too bothered by my curiosity.
Mahalo!

Aloha JaniSan222 I thought your question regarding depth of the lava tube was very intriguing so I went on a search for info and came up with the following, hope you enjoy it as much as I as far as answering the question on collapse all i've heard of is the occassional break-through of heavy equipment.
having found this topic so interesting i am starting a new thread on Caves with some links to lots of interesting info; even Trogolobites!!
Aloha HADave

Generally there is little to no soil, a small area could collapse but I wouldn't think it is a big issue. That was suppose to be not a big issue.

RE: Hawaiian Acres - JaniSan222 - 10-02-2006
Thank you very much HADave for seaching out some great sites about the caves! They are truly very beautiful, yet dangerous and such fragile ecosytems within them... we must respect them for those reasons! I just hope I don't buy a land, build on it and have my 2nd floor end up being the first! lol
RE: Hawaiian Acres - HADave - 10-02-2006
My pleasure JaniSan222 I hope you find all your looking for. there is also deep soil elsewhere probably in fingers but MLS 167845 speaks of it this property has been for sale forever kind of pricey but lots of improvements.
Aloha Scott & Julie I seem to remember you saying a trip was in order during Sept. how was it, hope it was good for you, seems like the weather there has been reasonably nice lately. We are still struggling along here but remain eager to get there,
Aloha Neighbors

re MLS 167845, John Dirgo and I looked at this property in June. The pictures make it look nicer than it is but I liked it. The soil did appear deep. It appears to me that the drainage pattern directed the water from the road directly into the lot and it seemed wet and the soil was squishy.
It talks about Banyan trees (which I like) I didn't see any and neither did John. Maybe they were Keiki Banyan Trees.
I did like this property and it certainly was on my list. It is on a somewhat rough road but only a short way from a paved road.
I would like it even better at 60 to 75,000.
Then I would probably buy it. (Listening, John?)

Hi Dave, the trip was great, weather was great, and we hated to come back. We did some plantings, even did a section of native Hawaiian plants. There is a small cabin across the road now, and Raphael(Cally transplant)is hand clearing the lot next to ours. Going to be nice to have a close neighbor.
