Ossipoff Oceanfront Condo With Kona Blue Water Views

Heidi White, R(S) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:00:45 +0000

Classic modern Hawaiian architecture can be seen in this 6 unit condo complex designed by Vladimer Ossipoff, which was built in 1979 and is located on Kona’s ‘Gold Coast’. I saw whales and dolphins playing out front of this property today! If I lived here, I might be late to work every day!

“Hale Pohaku” priced at $649,000

Ossipoff designed this property to have perfect airflow with the trade wind breezes allowing for cool temperatures throughout the condo all year. Made from coral cement blocks, it is a strong and durable construction.

This 2 bed/2 bath unit is located on the ground level, right or south side. It has an easy entry with only one step, yet is off the ground on the ocean view side for privacy and slightly elevated views of the ocean and coastline. It also has covered parking found close to the unit. I listed the last sale in this property in June 2011, which went for $690,000.

I would love to show you this property.

Kukio Luxury Home For Sale – A Golfer’s Zen Retreat

Heidi White, R(S) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:00:37 +0000

On over 1 acre, this home (MLS# 247942) is a Hawaii island masterpiece featuring traditional Japanese landscaping by David Tamura, which immediately sets the relaxing, beautiful ambiance.

Priced at $12,500,000

A timber framed Asian sanctuary with 4 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms (plus 2 half bathrooms), this home has a traditional Tokonoma shrine and artist painting studio. It was recently named #1 by Links Magazine 2011 top golf homes in the world and I think the Tom Fazio designed 18 hole golf course and 10 hole short course might have had something to do with that. Yes, any golfer’s dream, but then it’s also the home…found enhanced with the secured privacy that Kuki’o is so well known for.

Any buyer looking for the combination of a private, luxury golf and beach lifestyle will agree this ‘Gross Design’ property should not be overlooked. For more information, please contact Heidi White.

Alii Drive Oceanfront Estate For Sale in Kona

Heidi White, R(S) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 01:30:54 +0000

This property is one of the few oceanfront estates available in Kona today (MLS# 241698) that has it all! Like many luxury homes, it has been on and off the market for 3 years. Now that it’s priced right, I have the feeling this one will sell before the end of the year!

Previously listed for $6M in 2008, now a deal at $3,200,000!

On nearly a ½ acre, it is set back from Alii Drive and is quite a wonderful estate! It is located at the mainly unknown surf spot called ‘Ala Kala’s’ and central to Kona and Keauhou for shopping, boating, or golf. This home allows you to enjoy beautiful views of the whales in season and dolphins all year long.

This home has a strong sense of privacy indoors and out. With six bedrooms and six bathrooms, it is designed for a large family or corporate gatherings. A media room is included, but I think you will spend most of the time on the covered (or uncovered) lanai, pool area, or in the ocean, which is still 70 degree liquid silk!

The kitchen is an all new design and must be seen to really be appreciated. The detached garage has a parking stall outside perfect for your own small boat, and a small workshop area in the garage for any projects one might have to get done.

Although it was built in 1978, it was completely renovated 8 years ago. It is immaculately maintained and was recently painted yellow by its present owners. Very little, if anything, needs to be done by a new buyer. Remember, this kitchen would make Julia Childs smile and it could be yours for a Christmas dinner in the Hawaiian Islands!

Luxury Homes For Sale in Kuki’o Golf and Beach Club Community

Heidi White, R(S) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:00:19 +0000

If ‘near the beach’ is what you are looking for in luxury Kuki’o, this is it! Located ‘front row,’ this amazing home (MLS# 243881) has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 5,334 sq. ft. of living area—not to mention stunning ocean views!

Listen to soothing sounds of the shoreline as it lulls you to sleep every night! With this location, it’s a short stroll to your daily paddle with the dolphins that swim nearly every morning into Kakapa Bay directly in front of this home. In earlier days, it was a location enjoyed by ancient Hawaiian Royalty. Why not make it yours?

This home was built in 2005 and was spared no expense. The local Kamani wood is gorgeous and I cannot say enough about the prime location.

Kuki’o has seen strong sales activity with 19 homes currently available, 1 sale pending, and 15 home sales in the last 12 months. In extreme comparison, the newest listing at Kuki’o is 2 days on the market. This fabulous property (MLS# 248843) is closer to entry level and offers an opportunity to purchase into this private equity golf and beach club community. This home is located somewhat near the Beach Club and is a must see!

Golf or ocean enthusiasts have much to choose from in the available inventory. In case you are wondering, the Kuki’o Golf and Beach Club membership initial fee is $275K and $36K annual dues are additional to the sale.

For more information on these, or other homes on my ‘favorite list at Kuki’o,’ contact me, Heidi White, Realtor (S).

Kona Home with Separate Suites For Sale Near the Beach

Heidi White, R(S) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 01:01:48 +0000

Priced at $525,000, this home (MLS# 236893) is located close to Magic Sands Beach and Kahalu’u Beach in Kona. This home has suites with their own entrances and it is a great buy!

The owner built this home with a bed and breakfast in mind, but ended up not going that route. The home is well maintained by the original owner. Upon arriving, you find the driveway opens up to a large paved parking area for 5 cars and low maintenance, mature, tropical landscaping makes stewardship of this property a breeze.

A large owner’s unit with a full kitchen, living room, and with a walk-in closet and a large bathroom is upstairs with partial ocean views and lots of trade breezes. All the other suites have fridges, but no full kitchens, and their own entrances from an inner common area—well laid out for sure! This is a must for the buyer looking for a unique property. It’s also close to town and to the beach!

Upland Big Island Cattle Ranch with Vladamir Ossipoff Designed Manor Home For Sale

Heidi White, R(S) — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 00:30:42 +0000

Big Island real estate has a new addition to the ranch market. One might call this a castle—I would call it a real (olde) style hunting and ranching manor house.

I was thrilled to see it today and find out it was designed by the renowned architect Vladimir Ossipoff. His designs are a favorite of mine. One of the things I love is how he incorporates the beauty of the landscape and setting to complement the home.

This home (MLS# 247466) is priced at $4,700,000

This home was built in 1952 and is found on 584 acres of native Hawaiian rain forest and ranch lands. This is quite a different type of property to find in the Hawaiian market because of its European ‘castle’ design.

It has a walled courtyard and turret from which the view was splendid! I felt like Rapunzel as I peered out of the castle turret to see the view across Kona’s lush native forest all the way to the blue, blue sea!

I hear it’s supposed to be the only castle found on the Big Island and perhaps in the entire Hawaiian Islands.
