I recommend signing up for Harry Pritikin's comprehensive Big Island daily real estate email at http://www.konarealestateagent.com/newsletter.htm
It is the quickest way to learn values etc. We originally intended to use him as our realtor but we decided that Puna would be home and he is based out of Kona. His emails do cover the entire island but after you have made your choice, I recommend choosing a realtor that lives in the area you are interested in.
Last I checked, an acre near Kona was going for $250,000.00. But that depends on what your definition of "near" is. You said you wanted vegetation. You are not going to find that near Kona in your price range.
