Kona Hills Estates and Hualalai Vistas Properties For Sale

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.

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."

The first coffee was planted in Kona by missionary Samuel Ruggles in the late 1820s. These first Arabica trees were a perfect match. Kona, with its rich volcanic soil, hardworking family farmers, and perfect climatic conditions, helped create an industry that is alive and thriving in the 21st century. Taste Kona’s coffee and you’ll sense its strength, the hand-picked quality that sets it apart. Raising coffee in Kona has always been laborious because everything – from planting to picking – is done by hand. The first coffee plantations were owned by Caucasians and worked by Native Hawaiians and Chinese laborers. During the 1880s and early 1890s, Japanese immigrants began their coffee legacy in these same Kona fields. Today, many Kona farmers can lay claim to being fifth-generation coffee farmers. Coffee is an economic mainstay of Kona, where farmers continue the tradition and honor their heritage with every harvest. The industry gave rise to Hawai`i’s oldest food festival, the Kona Coffee Cultural Festival, which honors Kona’s cultural heritage and recognizes the coffee pioneers, farmers, and artisans.
