Secluded, Ocean View North Kohala Home on Acreage

Taking this residential listing near Kapanaia Bay in North Kohala was coming full circle. I represented the seller when the 3-acre lot was for sale. Now a decade later the then-buyers called me to list the elegant home they built on the site where we once stood on a picnic table envisioning it.

The 3 bed, 3-1/2 bath residence with its panoramic ocean views is tucked above larger acreages of pasture land stretching down to the nearby coast and historic Kapanaia Bay.

Clean Design and Careful Orientation Makes This Home All About the Ocean Views

The bi-level home with its clean design and custom finishes was built at the high point of the lot to maximize ocean views from almost every room. The main floor has a grand entrance; two guest bedrooms each with its own bath and separated for privacy; kitchen, dining, living and office or meditation room in the area between. The primary suite, including bedroom, bath, walk in closet and an office or reading nook, occupies the second level, with a large lanai for elevated views.

The Great Room has high ceilings and a wall of windows framing the views – no window coverings necessary when your neighbors are friendly cows

The two guest rooms on the first floor are separated by the entrance and main living areas. The garage and one guest suite are to the left from the foyer. The ocean side guest suite is at the far end beyond the central living areas.

An orchard planted in a narrow strip of the lot has jackfruit, breadfruit, fig and citrus trees. Room for more crops, or a pool if you like. Fully fenced for pets or children. Zoned for agriculture, the only neighbors in sight are friendly cows. The benefit of the Kapanaia Road Association with minimal dues allows you to enter through the private gate and paved road servicing the lot’s larger neighbors. Current owners drive through the tree tunnel that technically is within the boundaries of this parcel and use the old county road for easy access. The lot’s unusual shape resembles a fat dolphin with a skinny dorsal fin pointing towards the ocean.

And don’t let the address on the “highway” fool you, this home is so secluded you’ll need help to find it! Call if you would like to schedule a showing.
