Beautiful area, some really serene areas, esp up in the "Wood Valley" area
Low chance of Lava inundation (zone 6) because of a severe uplift ridge
Area has the look & feel of summertime rural PA or WI - grassy rolling fields with cows, but with to die for views of the ocean...
Far away from most everything (makes buying things there more pricey, aka. rural Alaska, but much nicer weather)
There is one very severe caveat on that location for some.... right now (ie, the last ~5years), the VOG is really an issue, esp. for those with any type of respiratory conditions, and has had a significant effect of growers (well, that & the fact they are also under the effects of the severe drought this island has had - well, much of this island...)
