Gonna Love It with Lovette, LLC
Lifestyle:
North Kohala is a land of contrasts rich in its living Hawaiian heritage.
Rugged coastlines with ancient temples give way to verdant grass lands
where sugar was once king and modern-day
cowboys still ride the range. It’s is the homeland of
King Kamehameha the Great and a place where
one can still hear the whisper of ancient gods on
the cool ocean winds.
Beautiful scenery, virgin landscapes, a climate that ranges from deserts to rain forests, all with the slow
pace of old Hawaii gives North Kohala the character that so many love. North Kohala is old Hawaii country
living with many amenities. It is also cattle country so expect to enjoy Big Island natural grass fed beef
and mountain raised sheep, and maybe even some wild boar if you’re a hunter or make friends with one.
Shopping is not as extensive on the north side of the island as Kona or Hilo, but there are plenty of
grocery stores and "mom and pop" shops in the plantation town of Hawi where all your basic shopping
needs can be met.There are two very good K-12 private schools within commuting distance in Waimea
(technically South Kohala), Hawaii Preparatory Academy and Parker School, and the northern tip of island
has K-12 public schools along with the private Kohala Mission School.
Activities:
North Kohala is an equestrian paradise with outfits such Kahua Ranch and Paniolo Adventures that
specialize in all levels of horseback riding tours. The Kohala Ranch community incorporates a riding
trail as part of its up country lifestyle. Natural beauty abounds in North Kohala, Ziplines are popular
and there are many hiking trails across the pristine hills and countryside - a trek down to Pololu
Valley is a must! With a long coastline, fishing, paddlingand water sports are plentiful but the waters
here can be more challenging than those on the Kona and Kohala coasts. Respect for the ocean is a
given and the buddy system is always a good idea.
Heritage:
North Kohala is steeped in Hawaiian heritage from the birthplace of King Kamehameha, to the
ancient heiaus (Hawaiian temples) at Pu’ukohola and Mo’okini, and to the statue of the Great King
that watches over the city of Kapa’au. King Kamehameha’s warriors trained and fought over the
mountains and valleys of Kohala, the same lands that would foster great sugar plantations and world
renown cattle ranches. Kings, Queens, Hawaiian warriors, sugar barons and cowboys have all left
their mark on North Kohala and the pride and majesty of their spirt remains the central character of
this land.
