Found on the sunny slopes of Hualalai, Kona Acres offers a unique residential experience in Kailua-Kona, situated at a comfortable elevation between 700 and 1200 feet. This established community appeals to those seeking generously sized properties, diverse home styles, and a relaxed Hawaiian lifestyle.
Kona Acres is situated within a region steeped in Hawaiian history, from the earliest ancient settlements and their sustainable fishponds and sacred heiaus, to the arrival of
Captain Cook, and its designation by
Kamehameha I as the capital of a united Hawaii. The area's later transformation with coffee plantations and farms, alongside the post-WWII tourism boom, shaped the Kona we know today, blending its rich heritage with modern development.
