Yes the Kona Mansion Inn property was indeed 2600 acres. The story that I know is that it was shipped here from Europe by a wealthy businessman for his wife and it was built back piece by piece. They had quite the spread. I toured the property in the early 1960s when I was around 11 years old. I remember sitting inside the giant fireplace in the boathouse which had built-in seats on either side and having my picture taken with my sister.
They sold off most of the acreage, and what remained is the Kona Mansion itself along with the carriage house and the boathouse and several little rental cabins.
As far as I know, It has always been for sale.
