Lulahala Point Estate at Mauna Lani: A Private, Nature-Centric, Oceanfront Sanctuary
One of Hawai‘i’s most distinctive oceanfront estates, this private sanctuary rests at the end of a gated road in the exclusive One Ocean community at Mauna Lani on the Kohala Coast. Designed by Warren Sunnland of Sunnland Architects, the home is crafted from clear cedar, teak, and natural stone, seamlessly integrated into its surroundings.
A natural lava field buffer and koi ponds heighten seclusion, while lush landscaping frames panoramic views of whales breaching, sunsets over the Pacific, the rugged South Kohala coastline, and glimpses of Maui.
Teak pocket doors open to a covered oceanfront lanai, merging indoor and outdoor living while preserving privacy.
An inviting great room anchors the home, featuring a gourmet kitchen and dining area for relaxed living or gracious entertaining.
The ~1,700 sq. ft. primary suite offers sweeping ocean views, a private office, a spacious walk-in closet, and a secluded outdoor shower set within a tropical garden. An additional bedroom, office, and sitting room share a bath in this wing, providing flexibility for extra living space. A hallway lined with a 50-million-year-old fossil wall leads to four en-suite bedrooms, a media room, and a separate pantry and laundry.
Two suites open to private lanais, each with panoramic views of the ocean, coastline, and Mauna Kea. The layout balances openness with tranquility, ensuring uninterrupted sightlines to the Pacific while maintaining a sense of retreat.
Meticulously maintained, the estate reflects an investment in quality and longevity, with interiors curated to complement its architecture and natural setting. Koi ponds, lava rock features, and tropical landscaping enhance the peaceful ambiance, while a true infinity-edge pool merges with the horizon for an uninterrupted connection to the Pacific.
