Single Family Residence in Kamuela

One of only 11 oceanfront residences within The Bluffs at Mauna Kea Resort, this estate occupies a promontory with more than 200 feet of ocean frontage, flanked by Mauna Kea and Hapuna, two of Hawai‘i Island’s finest white sand beaches. Designed by Mexican architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta, the residence encompasses 9,909 square feet on approximately .83 acres.

Refined over 6 years of close collaboration, the residence unfolds through a series of architectural volumes, intimate courtyards, and expansive living spaces composed around light, color, water, and the Pacific. At its center, a sunken courtyard water feature in black stone is surrounded by stepped seating, creating an intimate gathering place. Walls of glass and generous lanais connect the interiors with the coast. The oceanfront infinity pool mirrors the ocean’s gradations of color, carrying the Pacific into the architecture.

Interiors by Paul Wiseman reflect a six-year collaboration in which architecture, furnishings, materials, and finishes were considered as a cohesive whole. Spaces for entertaining open toward the ocean, while the courtyards provide quieter places to gather and retreat.

Within Laurance Rockefeller’s Mauna Kea Resort, with golf, beaches, and dining nearby, the estate brings together Legorreta’s architecture and a scarce oceanfront position on Hawai‘i’s Kohala Coast.
