Francolin Place Subdivision

Francolin Place Subdivision is unique in Waikoloa that consists of a small cluster of 17 classic, custom single-family homes, individually styled with a variety of tropical features, located just off the Waikoloa Village Golf Course. Although homes for sale in this subdivision can be few and far between, but when they do become available, this is a sought-after location!

This subdivison is named after the Francolin bird, a small, ground-dwelling bird native to parts of Africa and Asia, known for its distinctive, bold markings and loud, melodic calls. In Hawaii, the Gray Francolin, introduced in the 1950s, is commonly seen in open grasslands and near golf courses. These birds are known for their fast-running ability and tend to stay on the ground, foraging for seeds, insects, and small fruits. Their presence in areas like Waikoloa Village adds a unique touch of wildlife to the landscape.

Waikoloa Village was developed in the 1970s as part of a larger master-planned community designed to provide affordable housing for workers employed in the nearby resorts and tourism industry along the Kohala Coast. The area has since grown into a thriving residential community with a mix of full-time residents and second-home owners.

The street names in Waikoloa Village, including Francolin Place, are often named after birds and natural elements of the Hawaiian landscape. This thematic naming ties into the village’s connection to nature and the surrounding environment.

Today, Francolin Place is known for its quiet, close atmosphere and its proximity to amenities such as the Waikoloa Village Golf Club, shopping centers, and schools.
