Ind. Property Exclusive Water Rights , Renewable Energy
Industrial | 22,000 SqFt,, Offering Water, Land and Infrastructure
Marketing description
An exceptional and irreplaceable offering in Keaau, Hawai‘i: two contiguous parcels totaling 8.17 ac., featuring entitled industrial land, on-site renewable energy infrastructure, secure access to groundwater from the Mauna Loa Aquifer, and over 22,000 square feet of existing improvements including 1200 PV panels on the adjacent condo lot of 1.141 ac. This is an opportunity to acquire a fully positioned industrial asset in one of Hawai‘i Island’s most important and resource-conscious industrial corridors. At the core of this property is a fully permitted private well sourcing water from the Mauna Loa Aquifer-a clean, high-recharge aquifer recognized as one of Hawai‘i’s most reliable. With new well permits no longer being issued, this legally entitled access represents a rare and secure resource that cannot be replicated under current regulations for commercial use. The well is permitted to serve both parcels, w/up to 50% of its capacity transferable between them. Water use remains within sustainable and regulated limits and opens the door to a range of permitted on-site uses. In an era where supply, security and resource independence are critical, this property offers a powerful combination of water access, clean energy, and entitled land uses. The 7.03 ac. lot includes a Special Use Permit (SUP) allowing for industrial operations on agriculturally zoned land--a process that typically takes 24+ months to obtain in Hawai‘i. This eliminates significant entitlement risk and delay. The approx. 22,000 sq.ft. of existing improvements further reduce time and cost for deployment—avoiding lengthy permitting, construction, and inspection timelines. This property offers a self-reliant infrastructure with water, energy, land control, secure, permitted water rights which are non-reproducible and strategically valuable and, infrastructure advantages that save years of development time. Further valuation perspectives are available w/acceptable financial credentials and NDA.

Strategic Industrial Property with Exclusive Water Rights, Renewable Energy & Entitlement Advantages – $16,250,000
An exceptional and irreplaceable offering in Keaau, Hawai‘i: two contiguous parcels totaling 8.17 acres, featuring entitled industrial land, on-site renewable energy infrastructure, secure access to groundwater from the Mauna Loa Aquifer, and over 22,000 square feet of existing improvements including 1200 PV Panels on the adjacent condo lot . This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully positioned industrial asset in one of Hawai‘i Island’s most important industrial corridors.
Secure, Permitted Water Rights — Non-Reproducible and Strategically Valuable
At the core of this property is a fully permitted private well sourcing water from the Mauna Loa Aquifer — a clean, high-recharge aquifer recognized as one of Hawai‘i’s most reliable. With new well permits rarely being issued for similar use, this legally entitled access represents a rare and secure resource that cannot be replicated under current regulations.
The well is permitted to serve both parcels, with up to 50% of its capacity transferable between them. Water use remains within sustainable and regulated limits and opens the door to a range of permitted on-site uses. Permitted water access supports a wide variety of value-added or self- reliant uses, including:
· Craft beverage production (kombucha, cold brew, sparkling water, teas)
· Brewing or distilling operations
· Agri-tourism concepts such as a beer garden or tasting room (subject to permitting)
· Resilient, on-site food and beverage manufacturing
· Excellent foundation for off-grid or semi-autonomous operations
Self-Reliant Infrastructure: Water, Energy, and Land Control
In an era where supply security and resource independence are critical, this property offers a powerful combination of water access, clean energy, and entitled land use:
· Private, permitted well with sustainable groundwater access
· 300 KW solar photovoltaic system with Power Purchase Agreement (10 years remaining)
· Two parcels with complementary zoning for operational flexibility
· 2.8 acres of undeveloped land — zoned and permitted for immediate expansion
· Over 22,000 square feet of existing improvements — secured and usable now
· Infrastructure ideal for manufacturing, agriculture, food systems, or secure storage This site offers immediate usability for operators and long-term security for those seeking resilient asset positioning, redundancy, or operational independence.
Entitlement & Infrastructure Advantages That Save Years of Development Time
The property includes a Special Use Permit (SUP) allowing for industrial operations on agriculturally zoned land — a process that typically
takes approximately 24 months+ to obtain in Hawai‘i. Timelines for SUPs are unique from those for Building Permits, which carry their own time estimates. This eliminates significant entitlement risk and delay.
The 22,078 square feet of existing improvements further reduce time and cost for deployment — avoiding lengthy permitting, construction, and inspection timelines.
