Today started out as beautiful as any Big Island winter morning.  Then this super well priced home hit the market at Champion Ridge in the Mauna Lani Resort and made it even better.  It belongs to a vacation club who may or may not be going out of business….you know how rumors go.  They paid $3,800,000 in 2005, now they priced it to sell at $2,200,000.  It has some ocean view but not what we call stupendous.  It is a pod style around a courtyard.  Has a pool and borders the community park, only shares one border with a neighbor.  I’d say it is one of the better deals in the resort.  Here is a link if you prefer to view it on the web or see below.
