56-3001 Puakea Bay Dr, Hawi, HI 96719

This custom built home in Puakea Bay Ranch in Hawi boasts some of the best ocean, sunset and Maui views you can find. In the winter you can see whales right from your back lanai while you enjoy the solar heated pool or hot tub! Entering the front doors reveals a large open living, dining and kitchen area, soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling sliding glass doors. Through these doors is the large, 1000 sq foot covered lanai. It is plumbed for gas, electric and water in anticipation of an outdoor kitchen. The 40 X 18 foot pool includes a tanning ledge and attached spa. Artificial grass between the lanai and pool keeps debris from the pool as well as saving irrigation water. Beyond the pool is >180 degree ocean view.
