Description
This lovely home is located on a flag lot giving it extra privacy at Puakea Bay in North Kohala. As soon you enter the property you know you are somewhere special. With a Lucky Bennet designed home you open the door to the inner courtyard entrance and are greeted by the extraordinary view. Featuring year-round sunsets and big ocean seascapes, you will find you will live most of your time outside in this home built to encourage indoor/outdoor living. As you enter the main part of the house there are pocket doors that open the living room up fully to the lanai and pool. A large kitchen built for entertaining leads to the master suite which takes up one wing of the house. Through the courtyard you come to the other 3 bedrooms. One of those pods is a 2/1 with a kitchenette for your guests. The pool and spa is front and central, and features a waterfall slide. On the other side of the home you have a huge garage that even has boat parking! It also has a 1/1 upstairs that could be finished into caretaker's quarters or use it as a man cave. Through the garage is a nursery area that stocked the garden with plants. This 10 acres features numerous fruit trees: citrus, ulu (breadfruit), mango, ornamentals, to name just a few, all of which that have been grown organically. The beautifully landscaped acreage also features a labyrinth which is an exact replica of the one found at Chartres, France. All of this is run on your own PV system and features solar hot water for the pool and home. North Kohala is a lovely community on the northernmost part of the Big Island. Views to Maui, great restaurants, and a wonderful climate make this area a popular living destination.
