PEPEEKEO, HI 96783

Property Description

Rare 4.8-acre producing lychee orchard in Pepeekeo with ocean views, private gated access, and one of the most convenient locations on the Hamakua Coast — a turnkey income property and beautiful private home site in one. The parcel sits just off Highway 19 in Pepeekeo, the sweet spot of the lower Hamakua: about 1 minute to the highway and 15 minutes to Hilo. Far enough back to avoid road noise across most of the lot. Ideal elevation and climate for growing — strong sun, reliable rainfall, deep fertile soil. The land is planted with roughly 140 mature, healthy, producing lychee trees — a strong cash-flow opportunity from day one for a buyer who wants to step into a working orchard. Strong fit for agricultural financing — listing agent has multiple ag lenders pre-vetted for this property (Hilo Farmers Union, USDA-Rural Dev, and others) and can connect qualified buyers directly. Ag classification keeps property taxes low. Multiple natural home site options behind the orchard, or clear a few trees for a larger build. Ocean views from several spots on the lot. Quiet, private, highly desired pocket of Pepeekeo with a real sense of seclusion. This is a newly created lot from a recent TMK consolidation. As part of that, the front section of the parent parcel is being preserved as a view corridor for the benefit of this lot — the existing row of podocarpus trees will be removed and the area kept clean. Permanently protected viewshed and no neighbor building in front of you — a real long-term asset baked into the property. Private gated access right off Sugar Mill Road. Lava Zone 8. A producing orchard at this scale, with a beautiful home site, ocean views, privacy, and freeway-quick access, almost never comes to market in Pepeekeo. Once it's gone, expect a long wait for anything comparable.
