TWO LOVELY FORESTED LOTS TO BE SOLD TOGETHER! This opportunity is offered in the hope buyer will maintain as much forest as possible by careful clearing and planning. Note the difference between these lots and the recently clear-cut adjacent lots. The sale includes two TMK's for a total of 24,850 sqft. Front lot, 3/1-1-62-62, 11-3848 Liona St, is 9,150 sqft and rear flag lot, 3/1-1-62-61, 11-3850 Liona St., is 15,700 sqft. In the past when someone purchased both lots, the buyer often kept the smaller front lot as an undeveloped forested lot for privacy or future investment. This provides a buffer from the street while maintaining forest for the native birds and minimizing infestation of invasive weeds. If you want to develop both lots, you can leave uncleared the required setbacks on the two lots, 20' front & rear setbacks and 10' sides. With careful clearing, a builder can maintain a forest buffer from the road and between the two lots. At a savings of $2000 to the buyer, a recent staking has flagged out all pins on both lots. The surveyor's path from left front pin to back of flag lot was opened up for hiking in, so as to appreciate the old growth forest full of native Ohi'a trees and Hapu'u tree ferns, both of which take years to grow. If you enter the lot to see the pins and foliage, you enter at your own risk. Recommend sturdy shoes/boots, long pants and a walking stick! The Hawaiian Electric SSPP electric fee of $450 has been paid on the front lot but not the rear flag lot. Confirm the fee info with Hawaiian Electric.

Three raw acres in Fern Forest Vacation Estates, set in the cool, Hapu`u fern-laced uplands between Mountain View and Volcano Village. This agriculturally zoned parcel on Kaleponi Drive sits high enough to keep the Big Island's coastal heat at a comfortable distance — misty mornings, ʻŌhiʻa and Hāpuʻu fern crowding the forest floor, and rainfall steady enough that little needs tending once it's in the ground. The lot is unimproved, with no driveway or clearing yet cut, which means the next owner decides what comes first: a homestead built from scratch, a working farm or orchard, or simply three acres held quietly while the rest of upper Puna grows into itself. There's no traditional HOA in Fern Forest — no CC&Rs, no architectural review. Instead, the Fern Forest Community Association collects a modest annual road maintenance assessment to keep the subdivision's graded roads passable, and overhead power is available nearby through HELCO's SSPP program. Water comes by catchment, wastewater by septic — the standard utility profile for this part of the island, and one well understood by Fern Forest's deep base of homestead and off-grid buyers. Volcano Village — grocery, coffee, dining, a post office, and the Cooper Center's weekly farmers markets — is a short drive out, with Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park just beyond it. Hilo, with full shopping, hospital, and airport access, is about 45 minutes down the mountain. This competitively priced three-acre parcel is currently available in Fern Forest — straightforward land, in a community that knows exactly what to do with it. Agents and Buyers must independently verify any information they deem material or important to their purchase or any price offered or accepted.
