Description
This is a leasehold property. It has 41 years of remaining lease term. The Vanillerie was opened as a unique tourist attraction in 2016, after some 10 years of detailed and positive onsite research trials. Located on a 5.9 acre farm in the Keahole Agricultural Park just 5 minutes from the Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, the farm was previously the site of a major nursery operation producing seedling eucalyptus and sandal wood trees. The infra-structure of the nursery operation is still in place and could be reactivated if desired. The Vanillerie is an impressive and innovative working vanilla farm that occupies a relatively small portion of the total farm area. Included with the vanilla farm is an adjacent well presented gift shop that sells vanilla products along with other agricultural products produced on the island. The Vanillerie is a very popular tourist destination that is consistently ranked at the top of Big Island attractions by Trip Advisor. Guided and narrated tours of the vanilla shade houses allow tourists to learn about this fascinating and intriguing vining orchid that requires hand pollination and produces a highly sought after spice. The Vanillerie offers an exciting opportunity to own a business with real growth potential. Utilization of the area previously used by the Tree Nursery could allow for a major expansion of the vanilla growing area.Included in the sale are:- *. 3bd/1.5ba manager's residence. *. 4 vanilla shade houses. *. 2 metal clad buildings--retail and storage. *. Nursery seeding building with workshop. *. Luxury safari camp. *. Office/warehouse building *. Nursery equipment--commercial seeder, Kubota tractor & Wallenstein chipper. *.

About Kona
Kona is the sunny west coast of the Big Island, making it the popular destination of tourists instead of the rainier Hilo side (see our weather data page).
In addition to new housing being built in existing Kona residential areas, especially Kailua-Kona, in the wake of the post 1950s tourism economy boom, recent years have seen new luxury master-planned communities like Hualalai, Kukio & Kohanaiki created as well.
Kona subdivisions include:
Alii Point - Oceanfront community. 19 lots of 4.6K Sq Ft - 1 acre with 2 - 5BR, 1 & 2-story ho
