A Hawaiʻi Home Under $300,000? Take a Look Down South.

When winter starts creeping into the conversation, so does the thought of Hawaiʻi. But for many people, the next question is the one that matters: can I actually afford a home there?

At 92-2220 Ocean View Parkway, the current asking price is $289,000. That buys a fee simple, two-bedroom, one-bath home on one acre in Hawaiian Ocean View Estates. It is a specific opportunity worth looking at if your search has felt out of reach.

Start with the video

Take a quick tour of the home, then enjoy a glimpse of the southern end of Hawaiʻi Island. The beach and coastline scenes at the end show the surrounding region, not views from the property.

The home comes first

The kitchen and bathroom have been remodeled, and updated flooring carries through the main living area. The kitchen includes updated cabinetry and countertops, a farmhouse-style sink, tile backsplash, stainless steel range and vent hood.

The living area opens onto a generous lanai with coastline and ocean views. That outdoor space is a big part of the appeal: room for a morning coffee, an outdoor meal or simply sitting back and taking in the breeze.

The home has 896 square feet of living area. Beneath it are three separate storage rooms with concrete floors, currently used for sewing, tools and household storage. They provide additional workspace, separate from the listed living area.

There is a different Hawaiʻi down south

What I like about this part of the island is the room to explore. Kaʻū has rugged lava coastline, open ocean and places where the outing itself becomes the day. South Point, Green Sand Beach and the southern coast offer a very different experience from a resort vacation.

For people who enjoy hiking, shore fishing or camping at designated locations, there is plenty to appreciate. You can make time for the coastline, pack for a day outside and get to know a part of Hawaiʻi Island that deserves more than a quick drive through.

These are regional destinations, not amenities included with this home. Access, terrain and ocean conditions matter, and camping and other activities depend on the rules and permits for each location.

Everyday life still matters

Ocean View has grocery stores, hardware, gas stations, restaurants and everyday services. Kailua-Kona is a little over an hour north. That makes it worth thinking honestly about your daily routine, work and how often you want to travel to town.

This home currently has Hawaiian Telcom high-speed internet, with AT&T and Verizon cellular service available. Water is supplied by catchment, wastewater is handled by septic, and the property is in lava zone 2. Those are important parts of the conversation when deciding whether this property fits your plans.

A clear look at the photographs

The owners are sorting and packing years of belongings. Some photos and video scenes have been digitally decluttered, and the primary bedroom has digitally updated bedding. On the property page, four edited images are each immediately followed by their original photographs so you can compare them directly.

Could this be your Hawaiʻi chapter?

A home under $300,000 does not mean every home on the island is in that range. It does mean this one deserves a closer look if you are open to Ocean View and the lifestyle of southern Hawaiʻi Island.
