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.

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."

While we now live by the western world’s calendar, such was not always the case in Hawai`i. Mahina, the moon, was the goddess who kept time for the Hawaiian. Mahina was more important to everyday life than the sun or the stars. It was the duty of certain priests trained as astronomers to keep the annual calendar and watch the moon. A proper planting season for the farmer depended upon the time as announced by the priest/astronomer. The bird catcher, the canoe builder and many other craftsmen depended upon the astronomer’s announcement of the correct Mahina. (Taylor) The rising and the setting of the moon marked a day for the Hawaiian, only he did not call the time a day, he called it a night. The appearance of the new moon and the death of the old moon marked the month for the Hawaiian. Twelve such moons made a year for him. Traditional month names are Ka‘elo, Kaulua, Nana, Welo, Ikiiki, Ka‘aona, Hina‘ia‘ele‘ele, Mahoe Mua, Mahoe Hope, Ikua, Welehu and Makali‘i. The names of the months varied on each Island and within moku (districts) on each island, a result of the different methods the priest/astronomerd used to calculate days and months. Hawaiians divided the year into two seasons: Ka‘u, or Summer, when it was dry and hot (beginning in May when the Pleiades set at sunrise).  The other part of the year was Ho‘oilo (beginning in October), when it was rainy and chilly. (Handy, Handy & Pukui). There were six months in Ka‘u and six in Ho‘oilo.
