Hawaiian Acres

[HADave]

Aloha Gloria, I'll tell you what I know of The Acres. The vast majority of lots are 3 acres, their footprints measure approx 150'X 871'. There are also a few 3 acre lots that have been subdivided so you might find less acreage that way they are on B & E roads and there are also lots with 4+ acres down 9 road all the way to the end G road. Some lots provide mountain and ocean views from 2nd story buildings and some even have deep soil but I'm told most do not. The rainfall is substantial in this area but it makes the farming great. Flooding can be a concern in some areas so be advised and do your homework on that issue.

You should request a subdivision map from your realtor it really helps keeping track of where what is. You might sign yourself up with Pritikin realty He , Harry puts out a daily MLS report that is second to none IMO, it is tied directly to the Hawaii information Service. The TMK #s you would be looking at would be 3-1-6-13 through 61 for The Acres .

Hawaiian Acres also has one of the most successful community watch programs in Puna. It also boasts its own volunteer fire dept. There is a community website you might also check out at http://www.hawaiianacres.org also some nice photos to enjoy.

It appears there is a cool down in prices lately so now might be a good time to pursue your thoughts of owning there.

There are no covenants conveyances or restrictions in this area so that can be a good thing as well as a bad thing choose wisely nobody wants what they don't want next door if you know what I mean.

We choose The Acres because it seems centrally located to everthing on the east side and yet far enough away that urban sprawl should not be a consideration for many years to come if ever.

In closing I hopes this helps a little and I'm very curious what your husband found scary...

Aloha HADave
