Sitting in the historic heart of Waimea (Kamuela) on the Big Island, Lualai at Parker Ranch represents the third and final phase of the Lualai project, developed by
D.R. Horton. Completed mostly in the 2010s, this distinct neighborhood of approximately 88 homes offers a contemporary living experience while honoring the area's rich paniolo heritage. Lualai at Parker Ranch differs from the earlier phases with a greater variety of 7 unique floor plans (compared to 5 previously) and being designed with more cul-de-sac streets, providing a quieter atmosphere with reduced through-traffic.
The land Lualai at Parker Ranch sits on has a long history, beginning with the Native Hawaiians who settled the area. These primarily farming & fishing communities were transformed by the founding of the
Parker Ranch in 1815. This not only shaped the landscape but also gave rise to the unique Paniolo culture. While Waimea has grown, it has largely retained its "country" character, offering residents a place to enjoy spaciousness, tranquility, and a connection to Hawaii's rich ranching legacy.
