Hawaii land real estate

Hawaii land overview

When people hear the word "Hawaii," they instantly think of a tropical paradise, and rightfully so. The Aloha State, made up of over 130 volcanic islands, is famous for its laid-back lifestyle. Although the state's total area is nearly 7 million acres, over 41% is water. Hawaii's tropical climate, natural scenery, active volcanoes, pristine beaches, and unique culture make it a popular destination for millions of people. Land and real estate prices reflect this, as property in Hawaii is some of the most expensive property in the country. Beachfront land does come to market, but it's somewhat rare, and depending on which island you're looking at, land in Hawaii often comes in small parcels. There are still large farms and ranches that exist on the islands though, like the 130,000-acre Parker Ranch and the 55,500-acre Molokai Ranch. Hawaii is not only fascinating culturally, but geographically as well. Located 2,000 miles west of California, it's the only state completely surrounded by water that's entirely an archipelago, it's the southernmost state, and it's the only U.S. state that's not geographically located in North America.
