What “build‑ready” means here
Many listings use the term “build‑ready.” At Pe‘ahi Farms, that typically refers to completed subdivision infrastructure such as paved roads, underground utilities, and private water system connections. Some lots also reference pre‑approved building envelopes or SMA context in their marketing. County approvals are still required. Ask for recorded documents and permits, and compare them to what remains to be obtained. Hawai‘i Life explains the framework in Building at Pe‘ahi Farms.
Costs beyond the list price
Beyond the purchase price, plan for association and water system fees, design review, and county permitting costs. Pe‘ahi Farms uses a private water system with an allocation per lot and a fee structure that can change over time. Always request the current budgets, fee schedules, and water‑association agreements for your specific lot.
