Located within the grounds of the Mauna Lani Resort, Kalāhuipua'a is a fascinating area with petroglyphs, lava tube dwellings, and extensive fishponds. The word, Kalāhuipua'a, could be translated as 'a gathering of the pigs.' Since the Hawaiian language often contains allegorical terms and phrases, this word likely meant an 'abundance of food' or 'a gathering of large 'Ama' ama (mullet) or fish in the ponds themselves. 'Ama 'ama (mullet) and awa (milkfish) were the most common raised fish, but others such as Papio (jack), Kaku (barracuda), and puhi (eels) as well as 'opae (shrimp) are found in the ponds also. Most visitors and owners within the resort are familiar with the iconic Eva Parker Woods Cottage, which is located on a small sliver of land between the ocean and main pond. A monthly Twighlight at Kalāhuipua'a event takes place featuring local artists, hula, and plenty of "talk story" with long time residents and kapuna sharing their present and past experiences with 100 or more guests. The main pond contains seve...

(Hawaii Department of Health/Courtesy graphic) County and State team up to tackle effluent issues on Big Island including Puako Road area near Mauna Lani Resort Many of my friends make a living in the dive industry and most of the great dive sites are located adjacent and just off shore of Puako Road. When they reported the beaches along Puako Road were closed by the Hawaii County Health department due to high levels of waste water bacteria, I was not surprised. Having spent time as development director at the Big Island Country Club site, where aerobic pre treatment was mandated due to the developable lots and golf course comfort stations being located in close proximity to the potable water wells, I knew the Puako area was in need of similar, advanced, waste water treatment being so close to the ocean. Many of the homes along this scenic road were built as far back as the 1930’s and modern waste water treatment was not facilitated or known. Since then the area has been regentrified where these basic homes have been replaced...

Comments Off on New Listing! 49 Black Sand Beach-Mauna Lani Resort!

One of the last remaining, undeveloped sites within the Mauna Lani Resort sold in August 2017 to the same group that purchased the remaining Tokyu assets that included Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows, golf course and racket club. Originally, the undeveloped, Site “M” parcel was sold by the Mauna Lani Resort’s developer, Tokyu to a group led by developer Stanford Car in December of 2004 for $24m. Tax records indicate an entity related to Prospect Hill Group (DHL Mahi Propco LLC) paid a $9.75m sales price for the 150 acre site on August 14, 2017. The most interesting fact regarding this parcel is that it includes zoning for the last remaining hotel site within the resort. At some point in time when Tokyo sold the development site where 49 Black Sand Beach is now situated, they obtained permission from the County to “move” the hotel site zoning that was intended for this site and relocate it to parcel “M”. In the past, the Mauna Lani Resort as well as The Villages at Mauna Lani had filed several actions...
