Kohala Ranch Home on Five Acres With Sweeping Ocean and Coastline Views

I lived in Kohala Ranch in the Heathers section, where the climate is similar to the nearby Kohala Coast resorts. The whale watching from poolside was amazing, but I did need to run the A/C full blast to stay comfortable. My horses live way near the top, around 3,000ʻ above sea level in the Summit section. Perfect elevation for horses with green pastures and cool temps for riding. I may have said this before. If so, I am saying it again, but many consider the Meadows area to be the Goldilocks elevation – where it is warm enough for a pool but cool enough that air conditioning is rarely needed.

My new listing is a nearly new, 3 bed/2 bath home situated in the mid-level Meadows II section. The views of the green hills of Kohala Mountain where our large ranches graze cattle, and Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai volcanoes to the south, lend a sense of special place.

The home is sited to frame a sweeping ocean and coastline view, oriented to provide protection from the trade winds that keep skies clear. Clever landscaping keeps water usage low, with green grass off the lanai to contrast with the blue of the sky and the ocean.

Relax and gather in the central great room, cleanly designed with a vaulted ceiling and durable plank flooring. The spacious kitchen features quartz countertops, a granite composite sink, and custom cabinetry. Dine in at the kitchen counter or dining room table – or BBQ out on the spacious lanai.

The primary bedroom suite has its own access to the lanai and a mini-split system for heat or A/C, depending on the season. Enjoy the spa-like bath with separate soaking tub and walk-in shower, dual sink vanity, quartz countertops, and custom tilework. California Closets designed the walk-in closet. Separated by the great room for privacy, the other wing has two generous bedrooms sharing a bath, plus a bonus room currently used as an office.

A 16 KW solar power system with backup batteries and a solar hot water system keeps utility bills low.

A 50ʻ heated lap pool is the centerpiece of the lanai. The lot is fully fenced with a separate paddock area below the house for goats or sheep. The sunsets from poolside are spectacular – almost nightly.

Kohala Ranch is located just north of the Kohala Coast resorts with their beaches, golf, restaurants, and entertainment options, and shares the sunny year-round climate. Waimea and Hawi towns, approximately equidistant from this home, have shopping, dining, farmers’ markets, medical services, and schools.

I also have a prime lot listing in Kohala Ranch Meadows II – so whether you want the convenience of a move-in ready home, or the challenge of building your personalize dream of a home at the Ranch, both are easy to show.
