NANAWALE ESTATES

BIGISLEPROPERTIES.COM

Nanawale Estates is located in the Puna District on the east side of the Big Island of Hawaii. Nanawale is less than three miles from historic Pahoa Village, 16 miles from Keaau, one of the fastest growing areas in the State of Hawaii, and approximately 30 miles from Hilo, the second largest city in the state. Within an approximate 10 mile radius you can find the tide pools and warm ponds of Kapoho and the surfing beach and boat ramp at Pohiki. Beautiful black sand Kehena beach is not much farther.

Nanawale Estates is zoned Residential. Although the standard sized Nanawale lot is 8,040 sq. ft. with dimensions of 60'X 134', some lots are as large as 16,300 sq. ft. All lots have existing "paid up" electric and telephone hookup. This applies even on the streets where there are no homes yet and consequently no electric/telephone poles. The water system is by catchment and the sewer system is by septic. Nanawale Estates has an active home owner's association (808‑965‑8080) and swimming pool. Nearby Pahoa has a first class Olympic sized community swimming pool as well. The current Nanawale Community Association dues are $70.00 per year. They include road maintenance. Real Property Taxes vary, but average about $112.00 per year for a standard sized lot. Half are paid in February and half in August.

The weather in the lower Puna District, where Nanawale is located, is literally the best of all worlds. Because the trade winds come from the east much of the east side of the island gets quite a bit of rain. Hilo, in fact, is one of the rainiest cities in the USA. For some reason, however, the lower Puna District along the coast, where Nanawale is located, gets less rainfall than other parts of East Hawaii. The result is plenty of rain (mostly at night) to keep things lush and green and to keep your catchment tanks full, but plenty of bright and sunny pleasure full days. The true definition of paradise!

There are currently about 700 homes in Nanawale. The minimum sized home allowed is 880 square feet. There are no requirements that a lot owner build on his/her lot within a certain amount of time, if at all.
