A private resort-style sanctuary in desired Holualoa, where cool mountain air, sweeping ocean views, and Hawaii estate living create a magical experience. A one-of-a-kind luxury home designed as three private pods, breezeway connected and surrounded by lush tropical grounds.

The resort-style pool has been upgraded with high-efficiency pump, solar heating, saltwater system, and automated chemical monitoring. Each pod has been meticulously refreshed with new ceramic tile flooring, high-efficiency DC ceiling fans, LED lighting, and fresh paint throughout. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, featuring custom tile work, reworked shower, and new soaking tub. The kitchen shines with high-end appliances, extended LED track lighting, and new operable skylight. A separate office above the garage, greenhouse with museum-grade lighting, Murphy bed, built-in cabinetry, and private lanai offers endless possibilities as artist's studio, guest retreat, or creative haven. An EV charging station, owner photovoltaic solar electric panels, solar hot water, and WiFi extender system ensure every modern comfort. The grounds thrive with mature white pineapple and producing coffee trees tended by caretaker, plus avocado, bananas, and citrus varieties. New greenhouse, raised storage, and stone-accented entry gate complete this Holualoa sanctuary. Architect Carey Smoots proudly showcased this home in Architectural Digest. Hale Laule'a awaits.
