Just inland from the Akoni Puli Highway (Hwy 270), Kohala By The Sea is a prestigious gated community offering an unparalleled coastal lifestyle on the Big Island's famed
Kohala Coast. With its 73 homes sitting as close as a quarter-mile from the ocean, residents enjoy intimate connections to the Pacific, enhanced by the community's thoughtful design where the natural slope of the land grants every lot a coveted ocean view.
Kohala By The Sea is situated within the historic South Kohala district. This region's heritage is deeply intertwined with the legacy of
John Palmer Parker, who
Kamehameha I asked to tame wild cattle, resulting in the establishment of the
Parker Ranch in 1815. This not only dominated the area but also created the iconic "Paniolo" (Hawaiian cowboy) culture.
Though Waimea (Kamuela), the heart of this ranching country, lies further inland, its "country" charm and spacious character influence the overall appeal of the Kohala area, giving you a unique blend of luxurious coastal living and a connection to Hawaii's rich pastoral history.
