About This Home

As of August 2025

This stunning Kula property is a true gem, offering breathtaking bi-coastal views from its expansive 825 sq. ft. deck. The primary residence, featuring 2,885 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space, boasts vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry, and a cozy stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The lower level provides an additional 1,270 sq. ft. with its own separate entrance, making it ideal for multiple living arrangements or guest accommodations. The property also includes a charming 585 sq. ft. one-bedroom Ohana, complete with its own private patio and raised garden beds, ensuring both privacy and comfort. Parking is ample, accommodating up to five vehicles, and both the main home and Ohana are equipped with separate electric meters and net metering systems for added convenience and efficiency. Additional features include a two-car garage with a dumbwaiter for easy access to the kitchen, a 448 sq. ft. barn, and a fully enclosed 1,728 sq. ft. pool house, perfect for entertaining year-round. The pool house includes a solar heating system, providing comfort regardless of the season. The property is further enhanced by beautifully landscaped flower beds and a variety of mature fruit trees-such as citrus, bananas, and avocados-as well as herbs like rosemary, mint, and bay. With updated roofs and a new Health Department-approved septic system installed in 2022, this meticulously maintained property offers a serene, park-like setting, defined by four rock walls that elegantly enclose the gently terraced grounds. This unique opportunity to own a piece of paradise in Kula combines luxury, functionality, and natural beauty.
