Pristine Big Island Koa Forest Property

It cannot be emphasized enough how rare it is for a property of this magnitude to be on the market.

Because this remarkable Koa forest property includes 16.5 million board feet of Koa wood, there are a variety of options available to potential buyers. The Koa wood alone has an estimated initial harvest of 6.5 million board feet and a sustainable yield rate of 6 percent to 8 percent per annum.

With its stunning grains and deep rich colors, Koa is one of the most prized hardwoods in the world. In Hawaiian, Koa means brave, bold, and fearless. Found only in Hawaii, the acclaimed hardwood has been revered by royalty, cherished by musicians, and prized by master craftsman for centuries. There is high demand for this revered wood and for many years, demand has outweighed supply.

Hydroelectric power is being successfully utilized at nearby farms and with the number of waterfalls on this property; there may be ample opportunity to develop hydroelectric power to suit your needs.
