Description
A rare and remarkable opportunity awaits at this expansive 3.7-acre estate lot (162,217 sq ft) in one of Honolulu’s most beloved and historic neighborhoods. Tucked away in lush, tropical surroundings, this property offers unmatched privacy, mature trees, and a serene stream that winds through the landscape, all just minutes from downtown Honolulu. The existing structure on the property is a shell, leaving a blank slate for a visionary builder, developer, or anyone seeking to design a one-of-a-kind retreat. Whether you choose to restore the current footprint, reimagine the home entirely, or develop a new estate, the potential here is extraordinary.
