Wide open, yet fenced acreage provide plenty of room for horses, goats and sheep to graze the green grasses of the Hamakua. The rich soil is perfect for orchards, a variety of agriculture, and personal flower and vegetable gardens. Set between 1800’ and 1900’ above sea level, this area of the Hamakua receives plenty of warm sunshine, rainbow weather, and the cool Hawaiian trade winds.

Spencer Road, a real gem with its paved county road and tree canopy of lacy Ironwoods, provides peace and privacy within a neighborhood comprised of larger parcels and well maintained homes.

The quaint towns of Laupahoehoe and nearby Papaaloa are a quick drive to the highway, and offer a convenience store/gas station, community pool, elementary and high school, Police and Fire Dept, library, boat launch, post office, community grocery store, restaurants, and the Laupahoehoe Train Museum.
