Bay Area woman left stunned after $500,000 house mistakenly built on her property in Hawaii and now she's being sued by the developer.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.Annaleine "Anne" Reynolds purchased a one-acre 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.

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. "There's a lot of fingers being pointed between the developer and the contractor and some subs," Reynolds' attorney James DiPasquale said.

"It would set a dangerous precedent, if you could go on to someone else's land, build anything you want, and then sue that individual for the value of it," DiPasquale said.
