ABOUT KONA HILLS ESTATES
Kona Hills Estates is a gated community located on the slopes of Hualālai mountain, just south of the Kona International Airport. The neighborhood is intimate, with less than 50 custom-designed homes, each situated on a one-acre parcel. There are outstanding views of the coastline and its elevation is ideal for enjoying Kona’s sunny weather and island breezes.
ABOUT Hualālai Vistas
Your neighborhood sits on the slopes of Hualālai, one of five major volcanoes that created this Island of Hawaiʻi. It has not erupted since 1800, but is still considered "active."
Did You Know?
Hawaiian land snails, or Kāhuli, are considered one of the jewels of Hawai’i’s forests. In Hawaiian culture, the Kāhuli have significant roles in mele, hula, and oli. They are symbols of romance and omens. Governor Josh Green proclaimed 2023 as the Year of the Kāhuli and selected nine snails to represent each of the Hawaiian Islands as their designated state kahuli, or snail. Each island was matched to a snail that represents its distinctive flora and fauna. Hawai‘i Island’s snail is the Hini hini kua mauna (Succinea konaensis). The name, which translates to "snail of the mountain's back," reflects the snail's habitat and its connection to the island's landscape, particularly the volcanic mountains.
