Hilo Home and Palm Garden for sale

[Hilo Jason]

I documented the creation of our Hilo garden in detail here on PalmTalk so I wanted to share that the property is for sale.  If you or someone you know has been wanting to make the move to Hawaii, this could be your chance 🤙🏻

This past weekend I was honored to host the Hawaii Island Palm Society at the garden and enjoyed touring 80+ people through it over a 6 hour period!  I truly hope that we can find a buyer that will cherish the garden.  You can view the listing here  and below are some photos from the listing that show some of the palms (gotta keep this thread relevant to discussing palms 😀) 

Our family is staying on the Big Island and moving about 12 miles north of Hilo to our new home / garden which is being documented here.

Wow! 3,000 sq ft house on 1/2  acre in Hawaii! Sounds like a dream. 👍

Wow! I have a 26 year collection at the house I am in now . When I think about moving out of Southern California , I tell my wife “ I can’t move , my palms are here and I’m too old to start over!” Jason , I have seen your posts and the palms you have are fantastic. That is tempting! 😁

The Hawaii Island Palm Society had been wanting to organize a tour of Jason’s amazing garden for several years, but parking logistics never worked. The planned move lit a fire under the board. It was now or never. We hired two vans to shuttle groups of 20 visitors at a time to Jason’s and another nearby garden that also had limited vehicle access. The hosts repeated the tours for four consecutive groups of 20. It was a very, very long day, but the folks loved visiting both properties in groups small enough to allow plenty of questions. Jason must have one of the best collections of primarily Madagascar palms in a residential sized property. Even though the garden is relatively young, the growth rates have been off the charts. It’s a (very manicured) jungle. Jeff Marcus quipped that he had never visited a garden filled with so many Floribunda baby palms that he now couldn’t identify after they had grown 20 ft tall and were flowering. Lots of beautiful, unusual variants and hybrids. Several one-of-a-kind. HIPS is very grateful to both hosts for opening their wonderful gardens. We eagerly look forward to touring Jason's new, much larger garden (on deep soil!) that already has lots of palms in the ground.

Several incredible palm gardens on the Big Island have changed hands in the past ten years. It is always a nail biter wondering if the new owners understand and appreciate what they have just bought. So far, each buyer has fully embraced their new garden and became palm aficionados. Sure hope whoever buys this property values the rare palm collection.

Agreed with everything said. I’m so lucky I bugged @Hilo Jason to let stop by and peruse the garden last year while on Vacation. It was eye opening. We had a bit of an IPS meeting ourselves with myself, Jason,  @Justin & @realarch . I’m sure the other property will be a better example of palms if that’s even possible. Good times. 
 

Whoever purchases the house will be a very lucky person thrust into New Cal mecca. Your place is awesome Jason. Congrats on your new house and good luck with the sale.
