On Hawai’i Island, no matter our lifestyle, we depend on each other for the basic needs of shelter, health services, food, and safety.

Luxury homes depend on quality crafts and professional skills. Communities depend on clean water and reliable energy, Each of us is more comfortable knowing that we can fall back on skilled healthcare workers. We enjoy good groceries and fresh produce from local farmers.

Being helpful and friendly to each other is directly related to the enjoyment of life and the family economy.

At KOHALA.HOMES we bring the experience of sustainable economic development of communities. We have helped build affordable housing communities, moved and renovated cool mid-century modern homes, protected sacred native lands, and built art and nature parks We have created ways for people to buy wild sustainable seafood, and support zero-carbon innovative industries all with the intention of strengthening a sustainable economy in the pursuit of happiness for all.

Whether you are snorkeling in the coral reefs or hiking through sandalwood forests or exploring ancient villages you are part of that place for the moment you are there and your actions help determine the long-term health of those places.
