There are schools and shopping in near by Mt. View, Keaau and Hilo, and a hospital and airport in Hilo.Christie Realty has been building cabins, buying and selling land, and operating a real estate brokerage specializing in Eden Roc Estates for over 25 years. Principal owner/ broker, Bill Christie says, "Prices are still very low! Some of my closest friends are buying land and building here. The few hundred of us that live here find it an easy commute to Hilo (20 miles) or else work at home."
. In 1980 Christie Realty undertook a major construction project in Eden Roc. The object was to build 7 small homes, each on an acre of land. The homes were to be built in the old sugar cane house style using single wall construction and building the places up on seven foot posts.
The first place, a 16' X 20' cedar home was completed in late 1980 and today is the office of Christie Realty. The next four places were completed the following year on four adjacent acres across the street from the first.
Construction on # 6 and # 7 didn't begin until 1987. They were larger in size 16' X 30' and were completed in 1988 on side by side Eden Roc lots.
All the homes have propane hot water, refrigeration and stoves. The first 5 have photovoltaic cells and batteries for electricity while the last two are hooked up to the power grid. All have catchment water.
