Perched atop a majestic mountaintop, Hale Opua – Castle in the Sky - embodies elegance and privacy, offering breathtaking views of the ocean, mountains, cityscape, and sunset. Nestled in a tropical forest above Honolulu, it invites residents to embrace the serenity and tranquility of the Hawaiian dream. With its close proximity to Honolulu, Waikiki, and the airport, this sanctuary exudes a distinct country feeling, away from the urban hustle and bustle. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a landscaped garden in the inner courtyard leading to a home of almost 5000 square feet. Six bedrooms and seven bathrooms are thoughtfully designed to balance private areas with communal gathering spaces. The fully equipped kitchen, boasting dual stoves, refrigerators, and a spacious pantry, caters to large gatherings of family and friends, while still retaining an intimate charm for a couple. The dining area and great room are graced by soaring ceilings with a grand fireplace infusing warmth and ambiance. For moments of quiet introspection, a cozy
library awaits, with its own fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the mountains below to Diamond Head and beyond.
