building in Volcano!

[mella l]

Welcome PJ and family! Volcano is a lovely little town. A great winery, art galleries, quilting shop, lovely B&B's, Kilauea Lodge is old and has a historic fireplace, and of course there is Volcano National Park. Just down the road toward Hilo on the right hand side around mile marker 20 on Hwy 11 is an orchid grower with a grand display area that caters to Bus Tours and locals. There are people on this forum living all over the Puna district. Some off mile marker 19, 17, some in Glenwood, Fern Acres, , Eden Roc Estates and Orchid land Estates down by Pahoa, all over.

As for your questions regarding electricity in your particular spot I would hope your Realtor could answer that. Some people live off grid and use solar and gas generators. Perhaps someone can answer your question about duplex permits or check google for building codes/permits Hawaii. Sorry I do not find the link in my favorites.

I would suggest you order a ready map from Gecko Farms www.geckofarms.com for the East Side, Also a tour book called Hawaii The Big Island Revealed thru Amazon is full of local info.

Good luck to you! January is just around the corner no!
