This is Your Chance To Acquire Acreage In Hawaii At A Great Price
Written by Author on February 3rd, 2010There are real estate bargains to be had almost everywhere, and that applies to Hawaii as well as the Mainland. The Aloha State has become a desirable place for vacation and retirement homes over the years. Hawaii’s Big Island provides a tremendous variety of climate zones, from arid to tropical and even mountaintop because it is so large. If you’d like to read a comparison of Hawaii and California vacations consider the SoCal Vacation Guru.
On the rainy side is the historical town of Hilo. It rains almost every day, and this has created a very tropical environment. The county of Hawaii has its primary government offices in Hilo. If you prefer the wetter tropical environment, consider Big Island real estate in Hilo.
On the leeward side of the volcanic mountains is Kona, which is much drier than Hilo. As the tropical rain clouds pass over the mountains much of the moisture is squeezed out, and onto Hilo on the windward side. That explains why the leeward side at Kona gets so much less rainfall. Most people seem to be inclined to the dry side, since there is more sunshine on average in Kona than in Hilo.
Kona and Kohala offer a great deal of Hawaii land with terrific ocean views and coffee orchards above 1,000 feet elevation. The last few years have hit Hawaii real estate very hard and it is possible to find some terrific deals on residential land. The feeling is different on the Big Island compared to Maui, Oahu or even Kauai. Give some consideration to the Big Island, and especially Kona, if you are thinking about purchasing land for a vacation home.
