Property Description

A short drive beyond the charming plantation towns of Hawi and Kapa'au in historic North Kohala, this 3 bed, 3-1/2 bath residence on a 3-acre lot with its panoramic ocean views is tucked above larger acreages of pasture land stretching down to the nearby coast. Close your eyes and hear the waves crashing from this serene spot, as historic Kapanai'a Bay is a short drive or hiking distance below. Open your eyes to take in the colors of sunrise, the sun glinting off the ocean and the clouds gathering over Kohala Mountain during the day, the star-filled skies and occasionally the distant lights of a cruise ship passing offshore at night. The bi-level home with its clean design and custom finishes was built at the high point of the lot to maximize ocean views from almost every room. The main floor has a grand entrance; two guest bedrooms each with its own bath and separated for privacy; kitchen, dining, living and office or meditation room in the area between. The primary suite, including bedroom, bath, walk in closet and an office or reading nook, occupies the second level, with a large lanai for elevated views. An orchard planted in a narrow strip of the lot has jackfruit, breadfruit, fig and citrus trees. Room for more crops, or a pool if you like. Fully fenced for pets or children. Zoned for agriculture, the only neighbors in sight are friendly cows. The benefit of the Kapanaia Road Association with minimal dues allows you to enter through the private gate and paved road servicing the lot's larger neighbors. Current owners drive through the tree tunnel that technically is within the boundaries of this parcel and use the old county road for easy access. The lot's unusual shape resembles a fat dolphin with a skinny dorsal fin pointing towards the ocean. And don't let the address on the "highway" fool you, this home is so secluded you'll need help to find it!
