A $500K house was built on the wrong Hawaii lot. A legal fight is unfolding over the mix-up

HONOLULU (AP) — 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. In 2018, Annaleine “Anne” Reynolds purchased a lot in Hawaiian Paradise Park, a subdivision in the Big Island’s Puna district. She bought it for about $22,500 at a county tax auction. Hawaii News Now reports she was in California waiting for the right time to use it when she got a call last year from a real estate broker who informed her a house was built on her property.
