A Hawaii developer sued a property owner after a home priced around $500K was accidentally built on her vacant lot, allegedly without any notification to the landowner.

A Hawaii property owner is getting sued after finding out a half-million dollar house was accidentally built on her land. The legal quagmire has attracted squatters to the house, according to a neighbor who spoke to local news. 'You already make a mistake, and then you build on my land without my permission. And then now you’re suing me for it,' Reynolds told the New York Post. 'I was so mad. I was so mad that day … that’s a really big mistake to make.

Keaau Development Partnership, LLC hired PJ's Construction to build around a dozen homes on properties the developer bought in a subdivision of the Big Island's Puna district, the Associated Press reported. The developer is now suing Reynolds and PJ's Construction, among others involved in the home's development.

In an email, Olson told Fox News his client also found Reynold's statements about her spiritual connection to the lot to be 'disingenuous.' 'My client finds Ms. Reynolds’s statements about her ‘spiritual’ / ‘energy’ connection to the lot in question to be disingenuous, cultural appropriation / culturally insensitive, and offensive,' Olson said. However, Olson added that his client's primary claim was with PJ's Construction.
