Rarely available: a true luxury estate, on the Hilo side of Hawaii Island. Experience the Balinese/Hawaiian feel as you arrive through the gracious entry. Hand-carved wooden double doors welcome you into the courtyard of Ku’uopuweuweu (my clump of grass). Fully furnished and low maintenance, the home offers five distinctly private bedrooms; 4.5 bathrooms; two full kitchens; over 1,700 sq. ft. of tiled, covered lanai; and an oversized garage, there is 6,346 sq. ft. under roof with minimal floor level changes. Custom gated (with remote controlled/monitored entry), it features a formidable rock wall across the front ( fenced on the other 3 sides), terraced up to the retaining wall level, where there are numerous citrus trees and 10 raised-bed gardens. Grand views are yours from mauka to makai on this elevated 1-acre home site, a well-known contractor’s own private residence. Its numerous upgrades include: custom American cherry cabinetry, high ceilings, an elegant en suite in the primary bedroom, highly finished concrete floors, a central vacuum system, solar hot water with a recirculating hot water system (for always-ready heat), and an elevated, easy access dishwasher.
