4 West Hawaii Real Estate | June 23, 2017 Featured Property Distinctive, upscale architecture in Kaloko Mauka The upcountry setting of Kaloko Mauka provides an unparalleled backdrop for this one-of-a-kind Hawaiian estate on 3.5 acres. Crafted with consummate attention to detail, the 3,039-squarefoot, custom-designed pole house combines rustic stylings with distinctive, upscale architecture including handcrafted heavy-timber framing, solid-oak wood fl ooring, open-beam ceilings, and custom koa cabinetry. A centerpiece of the main home, the living room is outfi tted with French doors, transom picture windows, gorgeous cedar-paneled walls and a grand fi replace with tiled hearth and koa mantel. Also replete with koa, a second fi replace occupies the second-story sitting room furnished with a handcrafted Hawaiian daybed (pune‘e). Throughout the home, artful additions add to the charm such as stained-glass leaded windows, track lighting and a wrap-around lanai unveiling picture-postcard views of the forest, ocean and sunset. For the cook in the family, the gourmet kitchen unveils custom koa cabinetry, exotic tile backsplashes and top-of-the-line appliances including double ovens, microwave, disposal, fridge, dishwasher, and a Wolfe sixburner gas cooktop/oven. Designed for entertaining, the prep island extends into a cantilevered tiled bartop with barstool seating. Cozy yet grand, this exquisite property features four bedrooms and three baths in the main house, and one bedroom and one bath in the guesthouse. Located near the entry of the park-like estate, the fully permitted guesthouse includes a full kitchen, dining area, bedroom and bathroom. Thanks to its many amenities, the guesthouse can provide yearround income as a vacation rental accommodation. A solar-powered gate opens up to the meticulously manicured property, which is accessed by a scenic, circular driveway that leads to the two residences.

A rare maile forest with hapu‘u ferns fronts the house. Animal lovers will appreciate that the entire property is fenced in. The setting is ideal for backyard gatherings. There’s even a wood-burning fi re pit for family marshmallow roasts under the stars. Located just minutes from the commercial centers of Kailua-Kona, this special property in Kaloko Mauka enjoys proximity to nearby commercial hubs yet feels like a mountain retreat that’s world’s away.
