About This Home

As of July 2025

Positioned in the sought-after area of Kukuihaele, one of the finest areas on Hawaii island, this expansive 9+ acre property stands as a wonder. Welcomed by concrete driveways & meticulously crafted rock walls – guide down to the newly constructed 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence which showcases quality craftsmanship. No shortcuts were made when crafting this home, from the beautiful kitchen w/ Wolf range, vaulted ceilings with wood insets, carved hardwood doors, TechShield insulation, solar water heater, backup generator, fully air conditioned, & much more. The primary suite is cozy w/ a spacious walk-in closet & ensuite bath w/ double sinks. A convenient laundry room w/ abundant storage adds to the home. Outside the wrap-around lanai, you are invited to unwind & take in the sweet ocean views & breezes. This home is being sold completely furnished & turnkey, & fiber optic internet is available to the home.

Many exotic fruits & trees dot the landscape, while a ravine w/ a seasonal stream further enhances the tropical charm. Additional amenities on the land include a substantial 30’x60’ quonset structure with a concrete pad, providing ample space for your tools/equipment.

Situated just a mile from the trailhead leading into Waipio Valley, a historically significant setting in Hawaii renowned for its approx. one-mile-wide black sand beach. Begin your days by descending into the valley & indulging in a surf session. Kukuihaele's climate is considered favorable on the island, making it an optimal location for both cultivation and comfortable living. With its temperate climate, accompanied by an ideal yearly rainfall (approx. 75 inches), Kukuihaele offers a tranquil environment for Hawaii living. Additionally, Kukuihaele maintains proximity to amenities, with Historic Honokaa town being a peaceful 10 minute drive and Waimea, home to college preparatory schools, medical facilities, restaurants, and shopping reachable within 30 minutes.
