4 West Hawaii Real Estate | February 15, 2017 Featured Property Oceanfront living at Kealakekua Bay Nestled on a secluded lot within a private residential enclave at the water’s edge of Kealakekua Bay, a truly oceanfront tropical retreat offers quintessential Hawaii living at its fi nest. Presenting incredible views of the world-famous Kealakekua Bay — plus views of Captain Cook Monument, the lighthouse and the historic Ka‘awaloa Pali (cliff) — this fi rst-class three-bedroom, three-bath oceanfront estate is one of only seven residential properties located in the quiet, gated subdivision accessed by a shaded country road lined with plumeria trees and brimming with songbirds. The estate showcases a spacious fl oor plan redesigned by a European princess, who rebuilt the home to her specifi cations in 2001 followed by a minor remodel in 2016. With its vast expanse of plush lawn, the property offers direct access to the ocean where one can swim, snorkel, kayak, and stand-up paddle. The entire property is beautifully landscaped with hibiscus, plumeria, banana trees, 12 types of ginger, more than 150 orchids, Tahitian lime, and an array of Phoenix, areca and coconut palms. A two-car garage is also featured. Inside the 2,043-square-foot home, large picture windows and sliding glass doors showcase scenic garden and ocean views. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen features a bluetiled peninsula counter with barstool seating. Tropical-style furnishings are included in the sale, such as the rattan bedroom set in the master suite, where a vaulted pine ceiling, large windows and sliding glass door offer plenty of natural light and ventilation. A relaxing soaking tub takes center stage in the master bathroom, which comes complete with a dual vanity and his-and-hers sinks. With no homeowners’ association fees to worry about, the property is located in a historical district and a conservation zone. Kealakekua Bay is known worldwide for its pods of spinner dolphins that frequent the bay and can easily be seen from the home’s backyard. During winter, migrating humpback whales also travel within sight. Enjoy nightly sunsets from the privacy of your own oceanfront backyard, or watch the venerable Fair Wind sail into the bay each morning around the point. A popular beach park, Manini is just a stroll away in the village of Napo‘opo‘o. The sandy shores of Ke‘ei Beach are located just fi ve minutes down the road from the property. Ten minutes up Napo‘opo‘o Road, the town of Captain Cook presents convenience shopping, ChoiceMart grocery store, ACE Hardware, a post offi ce, gas station, restaurants, shops, cafes and a weekly farmers’ market.
