Kona Hills Estates and Hualalai Vistas Contingent and Pending Properties

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."

This holiday season there will be many gatherings with friends and family. In Hawai`i parties are called pāʻina (dinner party) or ʻahaʻaina (feast). It’s only through a misunderstanding by 19th-century newspaper reporters which gave these distinctive celebrations the name lūʻau (the name for taro tops, a common ingredient in Hawaiian cuisine). The name stuck and though it is not an ancient name usage, the sentiments are similar—they brought together groups of people to enjoy delicious food. If you’re invited to a party, it’s good form to bring something to share – even if your hosts say they’ve got it covered. And, unless the party is being held outside, always remove your shoes at the door – another Hawai`i tradition.
