Real estate transactions often represent a single chapter in a property’s history. Occasionally, however, a property and a real estate professional become connected across multiple chapters over time.
The sale of 81-853 Makahiki Ln in Captain Cook represents exactly that kind of story. This South Kona estate recently closed for $2,825,000, marking the third time Marco A. Silva has represented this property during its ownership history.
Repeat representation of the same property is relatively rare in the Big Island real estate market. When it happens, it often reflects deep familiarity with the home, the land, and the Buyer profile that best aligns with the property.

Living in South Kona
The South Kona real estate market offers a distinctly different lifestyle compared with the more urban sections of Kailua-Kona. Properties in this region are known for large acreage parcels, privacy and quiet surroundings, agricultural potential, and sweeping coastal and rural landscapes.
The surrounding Captain Cook region also provides access to historic sites, coffee farms, and some of the most dramatic coastline along the Kona coast.
Why Repeat Representation Matters
Representing the same property multiple times gives a real estate professional a level of familiarity that is difficult to replicate. In this case, Marco’s history with the property allowed him to understand the architectural strengths of the home, the unique characteristics of the land, and the type of Buyer most likely to appreciate the property.
In South Kona, that kind of knowledge matters — agricultural zoning, water systems, and subdivision-specific land use considerations can significantly affect how a property is positioned and how quickly it closes.
The Sale of 81-853 Makahiki Ln
The property ultimately closed for $2,825,000, demonstrating continued demand for acreage estates within the South Kona luxury real estate market. Five-acre parcels such as this one provide the opportunity for gardens, orchards, and open space that are increasingly difficult to find in other areas of the island.
