Discover a RARE OPPORTUNITY to acquire a premier South Kona agricultural estate combining productive Kona coffee acreage, established rental income, and substantial infrastructure on nearly 16 acres in the heart of Hawaiʻi's world-famous Kona Coffee Belt.
Positioned along Mamalahoa Highway with excellent accessibility and visibility, this fee-simple agricultural property features approximately seven acres of mature producing Kona coffee, three residential structures, two commercial-grade steel greenhouses, and extensive off-grid infrastructure designed to support long-term agricultural operations and self-sufficiency.
The estate is currently subject to an assumable lease generating $8,000 per month ($96,000 annually), providing immediate cash flow for investors and 1031 exchange buyers seeking both income and land appreciation potential. The lease encompasses the entire property, including all residences, greenhouses, and agricultural improvements, and transfers to the purchaser at closing.
The coffee orchard itself represents a significant standalone agricultural asset. Approximately 5,600 to 6,300 mature producing Kona coffee trees are planted across seven acres, with estimated annual production of approximately 22,000 pounds of coffee cherry. Established production of this scale would require years of cultivation and substantial capital investment to replicate, offering immediate operational value to agricultural buyers.

Main Residence: 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with approximately 1,760 square feet of living area and expansive covered lanai.
Ohana Unit: 1-bedroom, 1-bath residence with garage and additional living space.
