This prestigious Nob Hill address, known as 'The Big House on the Hill,' has been home to many Waimea families since its construction in 1988. Now, it represents an unparalleled opportunity at the pinnacle of Waimea Town, offering exceptional value & potential. Since acquiring the property in 2022, the sellers have invested approx. $1 million in enhancements. The 41,510 SF lot alone is valued over a million dollars.
