Modern Residence Set Within Mauna Kea’s Most Exclusive Enclave

Designed to Complement the Land, Not Compete with It

Hapuna Modern House is the first-to-market residence within the High Bluffs at Mauna Kea, a limited collection of just nine homes that define the newest and most exclusive enclave along Hawai‘i Island’s Kohala Coast.

As the inaugural home to hit the market here, this architecturally significant estate is setting the benchmark for the neighborhood. The property is a culmination of thoughtful design, modern livability, and a front-row seat to some of the most stunning west-facing ocean sunsets.

Modern Design That Lets Nature Take the Lead

Designed by architects Fritz Harris-Glade and Paul Bleck and built by Doug Cameron between 2016 and 2021, Hapuna Modern House is rooted in Hawai‘i’s modernist architectural tradition. The design draws inspiration from Vladimir Ossipoff, known for his approach of allowing nature and architecture to exist in balance.

Instead of competing with its surroundings, the home was designed to step back and highlight them. The 3,586 sq.ft. single-level floor plan promotes ease of movement and an intuitive sense of space.

A 2,200-square-foot covered lanai extends the home’s living area outdoors, providing a protected gathering space that captures views from Hualālai to the Kohala Mountains and daily sunsets. 

World-Renowned, Highly Desired Location

Positioned along Hawai‘i Island’s famed Kohala Coast, Hapuna Modern House offers a rare setting. The microclimate here statistically has the lowest rainfall in the entire state, providing mostly sunny days. Surrounded by two of the Pacific’s most celebrated beaches and resorts, the property enjoys a landscape and lifestyle recognized around the world for its natural beauty and prestige.

Just a 10-minute walk to Hapuna Beach and the Westin Hapuna Beach Resort, and 25 minutes to Mauna Kea Beach, this property sits in the heart of Hawai‘i’s most iconic resort corridor. Here, two of Condé Nast Traveler’s “Top 10 Beaches in North America” come together with world-class hospitality, dining, and recreation.

Smarter, Greener Living

Behind the home’s refined architecture is a system built for long-term efficiency. Every element of Hapuna Modern House was designed to perform as beautifully as it looks, reducing environmental impact while improving functionality and reliability. The result is a residence that operates intelligently, minimizing energy use without sacrificing the comforts of a refined life.

Every system in the home is designed to reduce consumption and optimize performance. Smart technology integrates lighting, climate control, and entertainment systems through a central WiFi network, providing intuitive automation that supports conservation.

Resort-Level Offerings & Amenities 

Standing within the Kohala Coast resort corridor, Hapuna Modern House is at the center of one of the world’s most recognized coastal regions, with direct access to Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea Beach.

An exclusive Mauna Kea Club membership option is available with access to golf, tennis, fitness, and private beach services. The home is protected within a thoughtfully planned resort community, connecting daily living with the island’s finest recreation and hospitality. Currently operating as a turnkey, five-star rated vacation rental, the property has demonstrated consistent success, generating nearly $500,000 in revenue from 2024-2025.
