A woman who purchased a vacant lot in Hawaii for the meditative healing women’s retreats she hosts is now being sued after a construction company mistakenly built a $500,000 house on the plot.
In 2018, Annaleine “Anne” Reynolds purchased a one-acre (0.40-hectare) lot in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a subdivision in the Big Island’s Puna district. She thought she had found a convenient deal, buying the lot at a county tax auction for $22,500.
Reynolds was in California during the pandemic when she received a call from a real estate broker who informed her that the lot had been bulldozed and a half-a-million home had been built on the property.
