Located at the foot of the Kohala mountains, just west of the heart of Kamuela-Waimea town, South Kohala View Estates offers a unique blend of spacious country living and convenient access to amenities. This established community is characterized by its generous properties and a distinct architectural charm, making it a sought-after locale on the Big Island. The homes here were mostly built in the 1990s with a few added in the years since.
The Waimea region is steeped in history. Originally farmed and fished by Native Hawaiians, the landscape was transformed with the arrival of
John Palmer Parker, who established the vast
Parker Ranch in 1815. This iconic ranch not only shaped the region but also birthed the Paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) culture, which remains a vital part of the district's identity alongside other historic and contemporary ranches.
While Waimea has seen growth, it has proudly retained its "country" essence, offering residents a place to enjoy a quieter pace of life, ample space, and a connection to the land.
