Read a quick bio of the Big Island . Contact Lisa Roach of Savio Realty, lisar@savio.com, Cell 808-494-8575, Office (808) 965-9500 Here's the listing . This is a very decent buildable lot on the big Island of Hawaii - a mile and a half from the cute and cool hippie town of Pahoa and 20 miles up a highway to Hilo.

At 8429 sqft, my lot - a pizza-slice shaped near-corner lot, is slightly bigger than the average 8040 sqft rectangular rowhousy-sized lot. No brittle albezia trees to clear either. Taxes on my lot are $200/pa and HOA
