Don't miss this rare opportunity to own part of the iconic Kolekole Gulch.

This legacy parcel offers a rare blend of usable land and dramatic natural beauty. The front portion features approximately 2+ acres of flatter terrain, while the rest stretches deep into the heart of Kolekole Gulch, following the contours of the valley alongside Kolekole Stream-the same system fed from the famous Akaka Falls, flowing all the way to the ocean. Follow the water mauka and you'll discover waterfalls, swimming holes, and jungle scenery that feels untouched by time. Across the street, Kolekole Beach Park has been beautifully rebuilt with modern bathrooms, showers, picnic areas, and seating, plus a stunning waterfall cascading into the river near the ocean-one of the most loved recreation spots on the island. Imagine stepping off your land and walking right into the park to surf, swim, and explore, then coming home to your own private valley.
