Description
Nestled on 2.3 acres of lush tropical land on the slopes of Hualālai, this stunning estate offers a rare combination of vintage charm and modern upgrades. Built in 1966, the home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original 1960s character, including natural redwood ceilings and dramatic open beam architecture. Located just off the scenic Walua Walking Trail and overlooking Keauhou Bay, this is island living at its finest. Enjoy ocean and sunset views from multiple rooms throughout the home. The expansive living and dining areas open via massive pocket doors to a tranquil screened-in lanai on one side and a lush private courtyard on the other—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Just steps away, an oversized pool awaits, beautifully resurfaced with Hydrazzo finish and enhanced with new pool lights, heater, pump, and filter. A custom blue rock staircase leads to the pool, complementing the existing lava rock retaining walls. Extensive Modern Upgrades Include: New corrugated metal roof All-new gutters and downspouts Rebuilt front entry stairs, columns, and support structure Full interior repaint; natural redwood ceilings restored Owned solar PV system with battery backup New jalousie windows and screens throughout mosupper level New propane water heater and complete replacement of all galvanized plumbing lines New main water supply line from street/meter New electrical system including panel, meter, wiring, outlets, lighting, and ceiling fans throughout New oak wood flooring throughout home New sinks and toilets New asphalt driveway and turnarounds Entry widened with a new custom rock wall Terraced landscaping with dry stack rock walls and gravel fill New fencing and gates for the rear lanai New LG refrigerator, stainless steel dishwasher, kitchen sink New washer and dryer

  • In addition to new housing being built in existing Kona residential areas, especially Kailua-Kona, in the wake of the post 1950s tourism economy boom, recent years have seen new luxury master-planned communities like HualalaiKukio & Kohanaiki created as well.
