ABOUT US

Keolamauloa is a 4 acre family homestead located on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island, at a cool elevation of 1800 feet. The mountain neighborhood of Pa’auilo Mauka is dotted with verdant pasturelands and old family homesteads…evidence of the community’s rich agricultural and cattle ranching history. The Lundburg family originally moved to Keolamauloa in 1983, where they began the restoration of the existing historic buildings and grounds. They raised a large family and over the past 30 years, have worked to nurture and perpetuate a shared vision of sustainable living.

Sally and Keith are now the second generation to steward the family homestead and envision it’s future. They are working artists who reside and share a studio on the property, and their daughter Kia’i attends a local Waldorf school. The family leads an active, creative life both mauka (mountain) and makai (ocean)…and enjoy the daily surprises of country island life.

Kaye, (Sally’s mom), is often at Keolamauloa. She manages the homestead guest rental, and stops by frequently to check on the growing trees, and trade honey for eggs and veggies. She and Rod live nearby, where they manage Ka Malu o Niupe’a – the restoration of a 40 acre native forest. Kaye is passionate about stewardship, and is excited to share what she has learned.
