When I was shopping for property I had several criteria.
1. Lava zone 3 for the least risk of being wiped out by Madame Pele.
2. Elevation close to 1000 feet for the least risk of being wiped out by a Tsunami. And for cooler temperatures.
3. I looked at good parts of the Sub-divisions with nice neighbors and the least amount of trashed out properties.
4. Relatively convenient central (Puna) location between Keaau &
Pahoa.
5. The most land for my Money.
I believe I accomplished all this I in Orchidland.
I looked at Kapoho originally and when i was checking out a few properties there I talked with a long time resident of the area and I asked him. "Aren't you worried about Tsunamis? Lava? etc...
His answer. " I've lived here for 5 glorious years and If I loose everything here tomorrow I still wouldn't change a thing. These last 5 years have been the happiest of my life and I love it here. It's the cleanest air on the planet and My health has greatly improved since moving here."
"Right on I said...Right On"
One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.
