Two acres of cleared, surveyed, fenced land in Hawaii for $140,000. That number takes a second to land. The zip median sits around $411,000, and this is asking less than a third of that. The price per square foot runs 37% below the zip median. Whatever you think of the structures, the land math alone is worth paying attention to.
What's on the property: five cabins, built in 2026, totaling 720 square feet across a two-acre lot in Mountain View. The setup runs fully off-grid — solar power, water catchment system, no water bill. There's a bedroom, a toilet, a kitchen with a five-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. Fenced and gated with a smooth driveway and, per the listing, a guard dog, so you'll need an appointment before you show up.
Now the part that matters: every structure on this property is unpermitted. That is the central fact here, and it shapes everything downstream. Standard financing is almost certainly off the table, which means cash or a hard money loan. Habitability under conventional terms is an open question. Getting these structures permitted after the fact, if that's even possible under local code, is a process with no guaranteed outcome and real cost attached. You need to know what you're walking into before you walk in.
What this land could be, for the right buyer, is a different conversation. Two acres in Hawaii, cleared and fenced and already surveyed, with a working solar system and water catchment already installed — that's infrastructure that costs money and time to build from scratch. If you're someone who wants a foothold in Hawaii, plans to build something permitted, and can carry the property while you figure that out, the price creates room to work. The off-grid systems alone have value. The land has value. The cabins are what they are.
This has been sitting 93 days in a buyer's market where 42% of listings have taken price cuts. It's priced to move. The question is whether you're the buyer it's priced for.
