More about this property

Paalaea-Lauka    The creation of this very private 16 ac. oceanfront estate was conceived with a respect for the beauty of the land and an appreciation for the low density of the Hamakua coastline. Within minutes of services in the historic towns of Honokaa and Waimea, two college prep schools and North Hawaii Community Hospital, the location and climate allow for the best of all worlds. The International airports of Kona and Hilo are each respectively approx. 1 hr. away. Resort amenities of the Gold Coast and world class golf at Hualalai, Kukio and Nanea are an hour’s drive from this ranch estate. Sitting upon the 16 ac.of pastoral oceanfront are 2 complete homes; a very unique and rare offering. The main home sits at 450’ elevation; the 2nd home at 250' w/ 180+ degree views of the ocean, Maui, the Waipio Valley and Mauna Kea while uniquely having both sunrise and sunset. The nearly 500’ of ocean frontage sits in a sweet, magical park-like setting with a deep bed of pine needles and shady, old growth Ironwood trees. The new, fully furnished main house uses the woods of the Island harvested and milled specifically for this purpose to their full magnificence: Koa cabinetry, massive Ohia posts, Monkey Pod flooring and various specimens of Eucalyptus. The living area is built around a courtyard swimming pool w/ the owner’s quarters on one side and guest quarters on the other. At the center of the courtyard is the dramatic 45,000 gallon, 40’x30’ swimming pool with a rock wall waterfall, reflecting pool and hot tub, and a complete stainless steel, glass enclosed outdoor kitchen and full bar. The oversized, custom Koa kitchen with stainless steel appliances features a rare shell collection displayed in the shell case bar, a masterpiece in itself. Hand ed Travertine flooring from Spain adds an element of organic, European elegance. The 2nd home of 4 bedrooms, 2 baths has its own custom Koa kitchen and shell case bar. The home is sited for dramatic views of Waipio Valley & Maui.
