South Kona Retreat

Listing Provided by: Livingston Realty
MLS #: 726498

Description

Set on a beautifully landscaped parcel bordering Hōnaunau National Historical Park, this custom South Kona residence offers rare privacy, steel construction, and sweeping coastal views that are simply unforgettable. From sunrise light over Kealakekua Bay to year-round sunsets over the Pacific, the home looks directly into protected parkland, ensuring that the dramatic coastline, ocean horizon, and natural landscape remain forever unobstructed. The interior showcases exceptional island craftsmanship, featuring ʻŌhiʻa hardwood floors, ʻŌhiʻa window and door casings, and custom koa and mango cabinetry throughout, including handcrafted bathroom vanities. Fleetwood sliding doors open the living spaces seamlessly to the expansive lanai, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The lanai is designed for entertaining, complete with a wet bar and beverage refrigerator overlooking the pool and coastline beyond. The primary suite is a private retreat with a walk-in closet, a dedicated makeup vanity, a spa-like bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a large soaking tub. Each bedroom is individually air-conditioned for comfort. A 60-foot swimming pool anchors the outdoor living area, with a built-in spa currently out of service, allowing a new owner the option to restore or reimagine it. Built with steel framing, the home offers long-term durability with minimal maintenance. A solar photovoltaic system and net metering supports energy efficiency and resilience. The property is fully fenced for pets and privacy, with meandering walking trails thoughtfully integrated into the natural lava rock terrain, preserving the character of the land while enhancing its beauty. This is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully built, well-appointed home where craftsmanship, privacy, and one of South Kona’s most protected and iconic view corridors come together in perfect balance.
