Located just two miles from the heart of Kona, the Wehilani Subdivision offers an exclusive and tranquil residential experience. This desirable, gated community spans 34 acres, characterized by its low-density design and commitment to a peaceful lifestyle. The Agricultural zoning of these 12 lots, combined with an elevation of 600 feet or more, creates an ideal microclimate for cultivation.
The region has been a significant site from Ancient Hawaiian settlements, with remnants like fishponds and heiaus still visible, to
Kamehameha I beginning here his journey to unite the islands, eventually making Kailua-Kona the capital of Hawaii. The area later became famous for its coffee plantations, a legacy that continues today. While post-WWII tourism and subsequent development have shaped modern Kona, it has retained a distinct charm and a more measured pace of growth than other areas of Hawaii.
