Introducing a truly exceptional legacy property, offered for the first time in nearly a quarter century, this magnificent 1.2-acre estate captures the essence of elevated island living. Gracefully positioned above Keauhou Bay, the residence commands over 100 feet of uninterrupted ocean frontage, delivering sweeping sunset vistas that transform every evening into a private spectacle.
**An Enchanting Tropical Sanctuary**
Step into a lush, curated paradise where mature landscaping and vibrant tropical flora create a serene, resort-like ambiance. The grounds are adorned with 16 fruit-bearing trees—including mango and avocado, while terraced gardens, ambient lighting, and winding pathways invite quiet moments of reflection and connection with nature.
**Expansive & Elegant Living Spaces**
The 3,708-square-foot residence is thoughtfully designed for both refined comfort and effortless entertaining. Featuring 5 spacious bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, the home accommodates multi-generational living or guest hosting with ease. Recent upgrades to the gourmet kitchen and primary suite bath introduce modern sophistication, seamlessly blending with the home’s timeless open-beam architecture and authentic Hawaiian character.
**Resort-Caliber Outdoor Living**
Designed to rival a private retreat, the estate’s outdoor amenities are nothing short of spectacular:
* Two expansive swimming pools
* A built-in hot tub for ultimate relaxation
* Generous lanais and covered entertaining areas
* Secluded terraces showcasing mesmerizing ocean and sunset views
**Exclusive Turnkey B&B Opportunity**
Included with the property is a rare, county-registered and grandfathered Bed & Breakfast permit, an increasingly scarce asset in Hawaii, presenting a seamless, income-generating opportunity with an established guest base already in place.
