Live the dream at this oceanfront gem, with wide beach frontage and an inviting courtyard pool that beckons you to experience the ultimate Hawaiian retreat in style. Kick off your shoes and step barefoot off your expansive covered lanai onto a sprawling oceanfront lawn, and soak in the postcard perfect views of the turquoise blue Pacific ocean, framed by swaying palm trees. Relax in the privacy of your Hawaiian “estate”, located at the highly desired end of Puako Beach Drive in one of the most unique beach communities on the Big Island. Puako is an iconic and vibrant seaside enclave that is both in very close proximity to the most acclaimed luxury resorts on the Big Island’s famed “gold coast”--while being nestled away from all the hustle and bustle. Time truly stands still in this dreamy slice of upscale vintage Hawaii charm, offering the opportunity to explore the extensive Puako reef and tidepools just footsteps from your door, swim in some of the best ocean swimming holes of all of the Big Island, or wander along the shoreline trails that easily connect you to Mauna Lani resort, or the nearby Paniau shoreline, a popular and much sought-after surf and dive spot. Puako is also a short and easy drive to Waimea—to experience the very best of cooler climate “upcountry life”, complete with a variety of shopping, dining and popular farmer’s market offerings. Comfortable and well-appointed, the home is breezy, airy, full of natural light, an open floor plan that encourages interaction, and an oceanfront lanai that can be accessed from all communal living spaces and the master bedroom. Directly opposite of the lanai and through large sliding glass pocket doors that let you “bring the outside in”, one is afforded a view of the courtyard pool, and a lush tropically landscaped environment allows you to simultaneously enjoy the sights and scenery of the ocean, while still being in the midst of all activity within the household. The modern kitchen is spacious and stocked with thoughtful touches that make meal preparation and entertaining a chef’s dream. There are multiple dining area options and seating arrangements throughout the home to create truly special gathering spots for meals, table games, or just general socialization. The open concept living room and dining room feature finely crafted furniture made from exotic tropical woods, a wet bar and wine refrigerator, along with a variety of media options. Bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms and are situated away from central activity areas for maximum privacy and quietude. Two outdoor showers feature copper rain heads and lava rock walls —a distinctly Hawaiian and Big Island feature. The home is an art lover's delight, showcasing the works of esteemed Hawaiian artists and artisans, an interesting assortment of artifacts, and a wide array of culturally topical books for your reading pleasure. Escape with a favorite book of your own, or simply enjoy the joys of playing in the pool or exploring the vast Puako reef system and tide pools. Take advantage of this opportunity to share the owner's personal retreat, where care has been taken to enhance your comfort and anticipate your every need. The perfect tropical indoor/outdoor living environment, that's great for sharing with family, favorite friends, or your very special someone.
