Einfamilienhaus In Kapaau

Tucked on 1.58 acres in North Kohala, this private retreat sits on one of the Big Island’s most unspoiled coastlines, with mountains, gulch, and sea all within view, far from the crowds. Properties this size and location don’t come on the market often.

The property is set on a quiet road leading to Kapanaia Beach. Wake to the sound of birds and tradewinds, with sunlight spilling toward the Pacific each morning. Days here move at an unhurried pace. Watch the whales breach in season, and listen to the shoreline surf break. Enjoy peaceful seclusion and some of the freshest air in the state, with easy walking access to public shoreline and coastal trails.

The vintage two-bedroom, one-bath plantation house features warm, renovated wood finishes, distant ocean views, and a large soaking tub on the back lanai for unwinding at day’s end. The front lanai overlooks the Kohala Mountains and the mature trees and seasonal stream of Halawa Gulch. The fully fenced yard includes avocados, oranges, and bananas, a pet run, and ample space for additional plantings in the gulch. The detached garage and workshop, topped by an elevated viewing platform with panoramic ocean, mountain, and forest views, are ready for your restoration vision.

North Kohala is known for its rich history, spectacular coastline, and laid-back but vibrant culture. You are minutes from the restaurants, coffee shops, music, and galleries of Kapaʻau and Hawi, and a short drive from the world class beaches, resorts, and golf courses of Kona’s Gold Coast. Waimea, Hawaiʻi’s original mountain town and birthplace of the paniolo culture, is just a pleasant drive up the road. Your home remains a peaceful oasis, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the natural environment.

Whether you want a full-time home, a vacation escape, or an investment in one of Hawaiʻi’s most desirable communities, this is a quiet, authentic slice of the islands. Settle in for good, or escape to it whenever you can.
