Volcano Rd - Kahanu Estates Subdivision 45.94 Acres of Residential Land Offered at $6,700,416 CAD in Kurtistown, HI 96760

Kahanu Estates Subdivision presents a rare and exciting development opportunity in Kurtistown, Hawaii. Located on Volcano Road near Huina Road, this expansive 45.94-acre parcel comes with tentative subdivision approval from Hawaii County for 40 1-acre residential lots, some of which may be larger. The property is being thoughtfully modeled after successful nearby subdivisions such as Keaau Agricultural Lots and Ola Hou Estates, offering a vision for a vibrant neighborhood.

Significant progress has already been made toward final subdivision approval, with entitlement, legal, and civil engineering work well underway. The project has moved beyond early risk stages, positioning it on a clear path toward completion. County water allocations have been secured through May 2026, and the property benefits from nearby HELCO power and high-speed internet availability.

Strategically located just 9 miles from Hilo and approximately 85 miles from Kailua-Kona, the property is a roughly 10-mile drive to Hilo International Airport and about a 20-mile drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Also located just above educational institutions, including Kamehameha Schools and Kea’au Public Schools, as well as local and national retailers at Kea’au Shopping Center. The area is known for its cooler climate, natural greenery, and quiet outskirts, making it highly desirable for both residents and renters.

Development milestones already achieved include use and occupancy approval for bringing a water line onto the property and the installation of a required stoplight at Huina Road. Civil engineering began in 2024 with Okahara Engineering & Associates, while Carlsmith Ball LLP was retained to manage Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) registration and legal documentation. Homeowner Association (HOA) documents have been prepared and DCCA filing has been submitted, and the final subdivision map is nearing county approval.

Volcano Road is a high-traffic area exposed to over 24,000 vehicles per day, enhancing its visibility and accessibility. The surrounding population of 75,000 has grown at a rate of 2.6% over the past four years and is expected to continue increasing, further supporting the viability of residential development.
