This 80-Acre Big Island Compound Is the Epitome of Ranch Living in Hawaii
Hawaiian homes typically conjure dream images of expansive lanais, teak decks, ocean vistas, and lush foliage. But this $12 million property on Hawaii’s Big Island puts you instead in the heart of the state’s ranch country.
It might look more like the rolling hills of Texas, but this 80-acre ranch property on Alulike Road within the Waiki’i Ranch is just 24 miles from Hawaii’s western coast. Waiki’i Ranch is a master-planned residential community that spans more than 2,000 acres and is nestled on the western slopes of Mauna Kea volcano. The rural development pairs equestrian facilities with the beauty of the volcanic Hawaiian terrain. Dotted with eucalyptus and Monterey cypress trees, the idyllic farmland has lots ranging from 10 acres to 40 acres and has fenced-in easements for dedicated equestrian facilities and horse-riding and hiking trails.

The Alulike Road ranch comprises two of the largest plots available within Waiki’i Ranch, resulting in an 80-acre property as well as one of the highest-acreage plots in the community. Throughout the property, there are also olive trees and apple, peach, orange, lemon, and lime trees. The property has stunning views of Mauna Kea and is situated on one of Waiki’i Ranch’s most private settings, as it backs up against the protected Pu’u hill, which has a forested hiking trail surrounded by black lava from an eruption in 1843.
Despite its size, the home’s main residence is quite modest and fully updated with modern finishes and fixtures. The 2,880-square-foot home has two bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a powder room. Spread over one level, the home features a great room with vaulted ceilings. The kitchen sports a Viking gas range, double ovens, and Sub-Zero appliances; the dining area has views over the verdant land; and the living area is cozily turned toward a fireplace. Each room is filled with natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that open to a spacious lanai.
Just outside the home, a fire pit is surrounded by manicured lawns and rolling hills, and for those who prioritize health, wellness, and homegrown food, the property features an infrared sauna and cold plunge, as well as a greenhouse garden with plenty of room to grow your own kale, artichokes, tomatoes, carrots, and herbs. Equine enthusiasts will appreciate the garage/barn, three horse stalls, tack room, and feed room. There’s also an open arena for training. Finally, the home is powered by 75 solar panels with Blue Ion energy storage, solar hot water heaters, and heated floors.
The Waiki’i Ranch Homeowners’ Association employs a full-time ranch manager and has communal amenities, including a clubhouse, a polo field, a tennis court, and extensive equestrian and rodeo facilities. Owners can also own their own livestock, open their pastures to the community herd of cattle, or choose not to.
“This exceptional property is nestled amid the picturesque embrace of the surrounding mountains in Hawaii,” says Carrie Nicholson, a listing agent with Hawai’i Life. “Its prime location is undoubtedly one of its greatest assets, offering a beautiful haven within an exclusive and private enclave. What truly distinguishes this property is being within the only equestrian-oriented gated community with a significant trail system for horseback riding on Hawaii Island, outside of Waimea.”
