Sitting on the verdant hillside east of the Kohanaiki community on the coastline and south of the broader Kaloko area, lie a collection of distinct Kaloko subdivisions. These communities offer a unique appeal, characterized by their agricultural zoning, varying elevations, and the diverse range of lot sizes and home styles available.
Many of these properties capitalize on their elevated positions, affording residents breathtaking coastline views. While all are agriculturally zoned, specific designations can differ, with some areas, for example, being particularly well-suited for keeping animals or engaging in farming.
The Kona region is deeply woven into the fabric of Hawaiian history, beginning with the Ancient Hawaiian settlements that thrived here.
Captain Cook's arrival in Kailua-Kona in 1779 was a turning point, as was his meeting with
Kamehameha I, who later united the islands and made Kailua-Kona his capital. By the late 1800s, plantations and farms, particularly for coffee, dominated the landscape. While the post-WWII tourism boom spurred development, Kona has largely avoided the scale seen on Oahu, allowing it to retain much of its unique charm and character.

Location - Lower Kaloko subdivisions benefit from their relative proximity to Honokohau Beach, an expansive, uncrowded stretch of sand. Its offshore protective reef creates calm waters, ideal for snorkeling, with an ancient fishpond adding to its historical and scenic appeal.
- For nature lovers and hikers, the nearby Makaula Ooma Trail offers access to a lush cloud forest environment. At elevations above 3,000 feet on Hualalai's slopes, this ohia and hapuu tree fern forest is a cool, wet retreat from the hotter coast
- Also not far away is the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, a 70-acre preserve offering guided walking tours, outdoor wellness activities like sound baths and yoga, and educational workshops.
Features & Amenities - Properties here have fertile soil, growing Kona coffee, Native Hawaiian plants and a variety of fruit trees, including mango, lime, breadfruit, papaya and more.
- The higher elevations of these properties puts them in a cooler environment that many prefer over the higher temperatures toward the coastline.
- Another benefit of their heightened location are the often wide angle views of the Pacific Ocean.
The Kaloko communities offer a diverse array of hillside living options, from luxurious estates to productive farmsteads, all benefiting from agricultural zoning, potential for stunning views, and access to Kona's rich natural beauty and historical heritage.
