One of my favorite places to show property is in Kukio Private Residences and Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the “Gold Coast” of the Big Island. The lifestyles are so logical and simple, I can’t help but want this type of lifestyle for all of Hawaii, for those who love having the cool tropical breezes [...]
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.

Most people who own property in Hawaii have an emotional connection to the place that they call home, it’s one of the things that makes selling property here difficult! Sunsets like this one, from August 10th, still take my breath away—the colors are incredible! Sunsets are one of the things I’m absolutely in love with [...]

Yesterday, I took advantage of an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often—the chance to see a luxury estate for sale at The Cape at the Mauna Lani Resort. (MLS# 240030) asking $7,295,000 The Cape at Mauna Lani is an exclusive oceanfront gated community of only 14 estate sites, and properties here simply don’t come [...]
I have to admit it crossed my mind as the tsunami sirens blared, “Yikes, if the waves are big enough, there won’t be any house auction at Kolea next week!” Luckily, Waikoloa Beach Resort was spared any serious damage. Clients of mine who own a second floor condo at Kolea went to bed early and [...]
I want to talk about golf. I come from a golfing family. I didn’t play much, preferring softball and soccer, except on holidays when my parents “forced me” (tough life, I know) out on the course. I’ve lived in North Kona on the Big Island for six years now and I never played until this [...]
This Kukio—Ka’upulehu home (MLS# 232960) looks like a best buy at $7,950,000, fully furnished The caller had a question for me. Of a dozen $7 to $8 million residential listings at Kukio, two stood out. Whereas the typical home for sale in this price range seemed to be under 5,000 sq. ft. on less than 1/2 acre [...]

One of the wonderful aspects of my job is having the opportunity to see amazing homes for sale, like this one, listed for $25M, oceanfront, Kukio. Asking $25M (MLS# 241353) sits oceanfront at Kukio and is listed by Carrie Nicholson of Kukio Properties Sometimes a special property comes along that stands out—and I keep thinking [...]
I am heading to Kuki’o for cocktails tomorrow at sunset to see (MLS# 241353) a family island retreat which has been listed for sale less than a month now. Currently, one of the most beautiful oceanfront listings in the Hawaiian Islands and located in the exclusive, private neighborhood.
Along the Big Island’s Kohala Coast resorts there were 16 condos with listing prices above $2 million sold in 2010 compared with only 10 in 2009. Of course, all but three of these were technically in North Kona. One Kukio cottage closed at $3.3 million, and 12 condos sold at Hualalai Resort ranging from three [...]
It is not uncommon for us to hear from a prospective Hawaii real estate buyer that they love Maui or Kauai, but feel they can get more for their money on the Big Island. That’s probably true, however, the September cover story in Honolulu Magazine The 25 Most Expensive Homes in Hawaii concludes that “When it [...]
