Located in Upcountry Mountain View, Hawaii. with plenty of sunshine and rain - perfect weather year around!
4 bed/3 bath Home built in 2004, 1,776 sqft, nice open airy floor plan. Modern appliances, 15,000 gallon water catchment system with state of the art water filtration system. This home is on the grid, but you can go off the grid if you want - with no CC&Rs, and 8 acres - you can pretty much do anything you want. Solar/Wind ??? Fully fenced from the ground up to 4 feet - go ahead and let the dogs run free, or bring along your horses, cattle, goats ???
The owner of this lot is an excavator, and has gently graded the lot, leaving in trees and natural terrain, but clearing out all the invasive plants. Deep soil for your farming needs also.

Hazard Zones for Lava Flows on the Island of Hawai`i
|
|
Hazard zones from lava flows on the Island of Hawai`i are based chiefly on the location and frequency of historic and prehistoric eruptions and the topography of the volcanoes. Scientists have prepared a map that divides the five volcanoes of the Island of Hawai`i into zones that are ranked from 1 through 9 based on the relative likelihood of coverage by lava flows.
|
| Zone |
Percentage of area covered by lava since 1800 |
Percentage of area covered by lava in last 750 years |
Explanation |
| 1 |
greater than 25 |
greater than 65 |
Includes the summits and rift zones of Kilauea and Mauna Loa where vents have been repeatedly active in historic time. |
| 2 |
15-25 |
25-75 |
Areas adjacent to and downslope of active rift zones. |
| 3 |
1-5 |
15-75 |
Areas gradationally less hazardous than Zone 2 because of greater distance from recently active vents and/or because the topography makes it less likely that flows will cover these areas. |
| 4 |
about 5 |
less than 15 |
Includes all of Hualalai, where the frequency of eruptions is lower than on Kilauea and Mauna Loa. Flows typically cover large areas. |
| 5 |
none |
about 50 |
Areas currently protected from lava flows by the topography of the volcano. |
| 6 |
none |
very little |
Same as Zone 5. |
| 7 |
none |
none |
20 percent of this area covered by lava in the last 10,000 yrs. |
| 8 |
none |
none |
Only a few percent of this area covered in the past 10,000 yrs. |
| 9 |
none |
none |
No eruption in this area for the past 60,000 yrs. |
