A woman who purchased a vacant lot in Hawaii was surprised to find out a $500,000 house was built on the property by mistake.
She’s now mired in legal wrangling over the mix-up.
Annaleine “Anne” Reynolds purchased a one-acre (0.40-hectare) lot in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a subdivision in the Big Island’s Puna district, in 2018 at a county tax auction for about $22,500.
She was in California during the pandemic waiting for the right time to use it when she got a call last year from a real estate broker who informed her he sold the house on her property, Hawaii News Now reported.
Local developer Keaau Development Partnership hired PJ’s Construction to build about a dozen homes on the properties the developer bought in the subdivision. But the company built one on Reynolds’ lot.
Reynolds, along with the construction company, the architect and others, are now being sued by the developer.
