Residential Land for Sale in Pāpaʻaloa, Hawaii

Discover a rare opportunity to own a 3.2-acre ocean-view parcel on the stunning Hamakua Coast, just minutes from Ninole. This elevated lot offers breathtaking sunrises, refreshing trade winds, and the soothing sounds of a 100-foot year-round waterfall just 250 feet away. Surrounded by lush jungle and streams, this property is a true Hawaiian paradise-perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with modern conveniences. Zoned Agricultural but located within the State Land Use Conservation District, this property previously received DLNR approval through a Conservation District Use Application (CDUA) for an off-grid single-family residence and related improvements. The approval included a 1,500 sq. ft. home, 1,500 sq. ft. lanai, greenhouse, orchard, shed, utility room, and water catchment system. Although the permit term has since lapsed, the environmental, archaeological, and cultural studies-representing over $75,000 of work-remain complete and on file. This prior approval establishes clear precedent for future residential use within this Conservation District, and a new owner may be able to renew or modify the permit through a simplified process rather than starting from scratch.
