Rare, historic Opihikao ocean front

To call this a rare opportunity would be an understatement. On the market for the first time ever, one very lucky buyer will be able to acquire:
* 10.95 acres, zoned A-5A, with approx. 600' of shoreline.
* Located in the verdant and magical, "old Hawai`i" area of Opihikao.
* The Sellers have had this in their family for 100 years, and --- are you ready for this?
* They have an old photocopy of the ORIGINAL DEED in Hawaiian, from
KAMEHAMEHA III, dated Dec. 26, 1852!!!
This is like finding the Holy Grail of documents! To borrow a line from Indiana Jones: "We are just passing through history, this IS history!"
A partially cleared road meanders about 300' through the lush tropical forest to the family homesite amidst ancient rock walls and tantalizing peek-a-boo ocean views .
From there, the trail continues to the ocean, and with each step you take, the increasingly louder sound of the waves on the shoreline beckons you closer. The trail is walkable, but bring your hiking shoes if you plan to go to the shoreline, and exercise extreme caution due to the uneven terrain!! Keep in mind, there is poor cell reception the area.
Ribbons have been placed along the trail to help guide you, and once at the shoreline you can head South past tide pools, a small black sand beach, and then back on the trail in the coconut grove along more old rock walls. One's imagination can run wild with how it might have been to live there back in the "pre-contact" days.
Per the Seller, there's an assortment of mature fruit trees throughout the property and a blowhole at the shoreline during high tide.
About 20 years ago, a squatter left some vehicles, a small boat and rubbbish in the bushes around the old homesite area.
This is zoned conservation and in SMA, but per Planning, a home can be built if one goes through the property permit process.
There is a gate at the front, on lockbox, don't enter without permission. To be sold As-Is.
