Reference Photos in listing reflect the property in its heyday. Jungle does what jungle does & is slowly being reborn. It's just waiting for a visionary to give it a good manicure or further develop & build new homes or business? A Narnia-like vision for the potential charm of this property is reflected in many attached photos. Some of the photos depict lot as it had been before the forest reclaimed improvements (concrete pads, sidewalks and retaining walls are overgrown). A blank canvas with exceptionally beautiful composition. Property located between the two other subdivision lots. Legal easements of record are in place for roadway access and utilities to Wainaku Street. Electric transmission line installed; county water transmission line partially installed in easement area on abutting roadside lot to Wainaku Street but additional installation needs to be arranged; Driveway is located within roadway easement located on flagpole portion of the rear subdivision lot.
