The Dream
“We just want a little land with enough room to grow some food or coffee. We want it to be green and pretty, with a view of the ocean. Oh, yeah, and a pool.”
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard those words, or something like them.
If that is what you are seeking, look no further. Here on the Big Island in the Ahualoa neighborhood in Hamakua, it truly exists.
