About This Home

Situated within the gated enclave of Kohala Waterfront—an intimate, non-resort community limited to just 50 residences—this single-level home offers a rare alignment of privacy, elevation, and expansive Pacific Ocean views. Positioned above the coastline at an optimal height, the property captures sweeping sunset vistas and near-constant ocean sightlines while remaining naturally protected from direct exposure to salt and coastal winds. Nearly every interior space is oriented toward the ocean, allowing natural light, horizon views, and the rhythm of the sea to define daily living. Seasonal whale migration adds an unmistakably Hawaiian dimension—audible from the home and visible offshore during winter months. The residence has been meticulously maintained and is offered fully furnished for immediate enjoyment. The homesite itself is a distinguishing feature. Encompassing nearly two acres—the largest lot within Kohala Waterfront—the property enjoys exceptional separation from neighboring homes and borders preserved coastal land, ensuring long-term privacy and unobstructed natural surroundings. This combination of acreage, elevation, and protected adjacency is increasingly scarce along the Kohala Coast. Kohala Waterfront is valued for its quiet sophistication: a secure, gated environment without resort density, short-term rental traffic, or commercial intrusion. Yet the location remains highly convenient—just minutes from the Kohala Coast’s renowned beaches, championship golf courses, and luxury resorts, while Waimea is approximately 15 minutes inland, offering top-tier private schools, a respected medical community, and a vibrant farmers market culture.
