Gonna Love It with Lovette, LLC Lifestyle: Kau is the undiscovered country of the Big Island. It’s the southern most point in the United States of America and almost untouched by modern civilization. Outside of the small towns of Naalehu, Pahala and Volcano, it’s “off-the-grid” but with magnificent views of the mountains and the ocean. Anyone looking for privacy and natural beauty will love Kau, and due to its remoteness, you’ll find some of the island’s best deals on homes and land. On the Western edge of the Kau district lies Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the aptly named village of Volcano, an artist community that benefits from the huge visitor traffic drawn to Kilauea, the most active volcano in Hawaii. Kau is home to many writers and artists who enjoy the beauty of Hawaii and appreciate the privacy afforded by this rural and remote district. There is an elementary and middle school in Na’alehu, and K-12 schools in Pahala, but neither are highly rated. The town of Pahala has a community hospital and there are “Mom and Pop” stores providing the basic necessities, but Kau is not Kailua Kona or Hilo - this is life on one of America’s last frontiers, full of natural beauty, but not for those craving a big city lifestyle. Volcano village is is on the eastern edge of Kau and more “on the grid” with its proximity to the national park and to Hilo. You won’t find schools, hospitals or major shopping centers in Volcano but you will find a grocery store, a couple of fine restaurants, a nice lodge, and a few bed and breakfasts catering mainly to the national park visitors. Activities: Kau is Hawaii in all its natural beauty from the green sand beaches of Ka Lae (South Point) to the black sand beach of Punalu’u to the rain forests of Volcano and the mighty Kilauea, home of Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire. Kau is also known for its old Hawaiian ranches where the lifestyle of the paniolo, the Hawaiian cowboy, still endures. Hiking, fishing, biking, horseback riding and hunting are all part of the rugged Kau lifestyle. Heritage: Ka Lae (South Point) is believed to be one of the first landing spots for the ancient Polynesians who arrived here around 300 AD. Kau district has a land mass of 922 square miles making it the largest district on the island and ideal for cattle ranching, a practice that goes back well over one hundred years. It is a land of Hawaiian warriors and rough-and-tumble cowboys and that adventurous spirit still holds true for those who make Kau their home. Click on District for more info
