Featured Property Top of the line
Located in the upscale, gated
community of Hualalai
Colony above Kailua-Kona,
this inspired three-bedroom,
two-bath luxury home offers many
extraordinary customized details that
won’t go unnoticed.
The tastefully decorated residence
features Hawaiian accents and custom,
one-of-a-kind koa and bamboo
cabinetry designed and crafted by
renowned Kona woodworker, Rod
Crisp. In addition to the beautiful
kitchen island and cabinets, the customized
craftsmanship extends into
chef pantry, which is also outfitted
in koa and bamboo, as well as into
the spacious master bedroom suite
featuring custom koa cabinets with an
Asian influence.
The open-concept living area, the
kitchen, living and dining room offers
a central gathering place just the right
size for a cozy evening at home or for
entertaining family and friends who
come to visit. Accessed via a large,
sliding door that showcases the beautiful
tropical landscaping outside, the
expansive lanai overlooks a sparkling
saltwater pool fed by a cascading
waterfall from the hot tub. Panoramic
views of the Kona coastline prevail
from the lanai where one can enjoy
sunset cocktails, morning coffee, family
barbecues and more. Torches and
a tabletop “fire pit” add dramatic ambiance
at night. Automatic sunshades
keep things cool in the late afternoon.
The single-level home features
custom window treatments throughout,
plus top-of-the-line appliances
including a Subzero fridge/freezer
clad with custom koa “paddle”
handles. The spacious master suite
includes a double-door walk-in closet
and a spa-like master bath. Impressive
rock backsplash and counters are
featured, along with two glass vessel
sinks, a stunning walk-in shower
with two shower heads, plus a separate
soaking tub for star gazing and
sipping wine.
Outside, the impeccably landscaped
yard is fully fenced, providing the perfect
setting for a pet dog to safely frolic
outdoors. An irrigation sprinkler system
helps keep the lawn plush and green.
Abundant fruit trees include banana,
avocado, mango, papaya, lime, grapefruit
and pineapple. There’s also an
outdoor shower for the quintessential
Hawaii-lifestyle experience.
The fully paid-for photovoltaic
system provides substantial savings
on electricity.
Located just a short drive up Hualalai
Road from Highway 11, Hualalai
Colony is a lovely, gated neighborhood
that comes complete with two
private tennis courts and a pavilion.
Low monthly HOA dues are only $125.
The community is just minutes from
everything that Kailua-Kona has to offer
including shopping, entertainment,
restaurants, beaches, bays, historic
landmarks and recreational activities.
Up the road from Hualalai Colony, the
artists’ village of Holualoa features galleries,
cafés, churches and schools.
