Luxury South Kona Real Estate
South Kona
- (population 8,589)
Lush and beautiful, South Kona has managed to retain its rural
feel, despite the increase in population and conveniences.
This is Kona coffee country, and the area is rich with small
coffee farms, as well as macnut and flower farms, interspersed
with small communities.
The largest of these are Kealakekua and Captain Cook. Schools
and shopping are found in these communities. There is a hospital
here, too. The district runs south to the forest preserve.
This area is also rich in cultural history, home to Honaunau,
the famous ‘City of Refuge’ and Kealakekua Bay,
the landing site of Captain Cook, the discover of the Sandwich
Islands, as they used to be known.
