Description

Rarely does an estate of this caliber come to market on Hawaiʻi Island. Set on nearly two private acres above Kailua Bay, this Lucky Bennett-designed residence is a study in scale, craftsmanship and island grace. A long private drive winds through mature gardens to a grand four-car carport pavilion, built to match the residence, and a courtyard with a stone water feature, where the view opens straight through the home to the Pacific. Within 5,830 square feet of single-level living, warm teak and mahogany run throughout beneath soaring coffered ceilings washed in cove lighting. Walls of glass slide away entirely, dissolving the line between home and island. The great room and the dining area flow as one onto 1,354 square feet of covered lanai. The chef's kitchen, anchored by a French range, opens through a window counter to the lanai bar. Beyond, a 75-foot infinity-edge pool and travertine spa stretch toward the horizon. Lounges, outdoor dining, a koi pond and fire bowls invite long evenings as the sun sets over the Pacific and the lights of Kona town glow along the coast. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths offer privacy throughout. The primary suite opens to the lanai and ocean views, with a custom wood dressing room and a spa-inspired bath of river stone sinks and a soaking tub framed in live-edge wood. One bedroom opens to a private lanai among the treetops. A separate guest retreat offers its own living space, wet bar and garden courtyard, while a game room lined with library shelving flows into an office with its own garden lanai. Thoughtfully refreshed with designer lighting, a renewed pool, new plantings and an owned photovoltaic system, the home is ready for its next chapter. Framed by lava rock walls and terraced lawns, with mango and an abundance of fruit trees bearing throughout the grounds, this is one of Hawaiʻi Island's premier estates. A Kona legacy, made for gathering.
