Iconic Historic Estate With Serene Natural Beauty

When a residence transcends architecture, it becomes a work of art. Set across one point eight one acres in the misted beauty of Nuuanu, LIHIWAI is one of Hawaii’s most iconic historic estates, a rare convergence of land, design, and legacy in a truly cinematic setting.

Originally built between nineteen twenty-seven and nineteen twenty-nine for Territorial Governor George R. Carter and designed by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, the home has been completely restored and is offered following a meticulous renovation by Welch & Weeks, a museum-quality restoration for modern living.

Gracious volumes, natural light, and a refined material palette, including ohia hardwood, old-growth redwood, plaster, bronze windows, and limestone, create spaces that feel both expansive yet intimate.

The four-bedroom seven-bathroom main residence is complemented by two guest homes. The grounds unfold as a private sanctuary with a natural auwai flowing stream dramatic waterfall and heated saltwater pool and spa.

Set within Nuuanu Valley this is a composition of historic pedigree quiet luxury and natural beauty. A legacy estate now coming to market.
