Waimea

Waimea homes for sale are located north of Kona and inland from the volcanic Kohala Coast. Full of rolling green pastures and known as scenic paniolo country (Hawaiian cowboy country), it is home to cattle, cowboys and ranches even today. One of the oldest ranches in the country, Parker Ranch, is located here. Learn about the paniola lifestyle on Kahua Ranch and visit local historic sites throughout the area on horseback or ATV. Waimea real estate owners can enjoy performances at Kahilu Theater or a fine dining experience at Merriman’s Restaurant with head chef Peter Merriman, one of the founding members of Hawaii Regional Cuisine that blends locally grown ethnic flavors with cuisine from around the world. Enjoy the unique experience of living amidst Hawaii’s back-country in Waimea plantation cottages or a Waimea ranch house.
