This three-acre Hawaiian retreat didn’t happen by accident — it was created piece by piece, with respect for the land and the lifestyle it offers. From the moment you enter, the view pulls toward the ocean and Ka Lae (South Point.) At night, without city lights, the sky turns into… Read More a planetarium — stars, moonrise, and constellations on full display. The owners approached the land with care rather than clearing it flat. As they carved out space for the homes, they intentionally preserved dramatic lava rock formations, layered flows, natural bowls, and mature ʻōhiʻa trees. The result feels less like development and more like a private park — a place where tropical landscaping, palms, fruit trees, and botanical color wrap around the raw geology of Kaʻū. A circular gravel driveway guides you through it, one viewpoint at a time. The property holds three fully permitted dwellings, offering flexibility for guests, long-term living, or rental income. Two dwellings include covered lanais, and in total the property offers approximately 2,684 sq. ft. of interior living and about 1,356 sq. ft. of protected outdoor space, encouraging life outdoors as much as indoors. Inside the main home, the owners continued the theme of intention — soaring ceilings, custom woodwork, tongue-and-groove walls, vessel sinks, glass-block showers, and standout tile work. Local hardwoods — mango, monkeypod, lychee, and avocado — were crafted into counters, vanities, shelving, and trim, grounding the home in local character. The kitchen is anchored by a 9-foot live-edge mango bar inlaid with seashells and ocean sand. Windows on three sides track sunrise to sunset. And when you want to explore beyond your gate, Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, sea turtles, fishing spots, coastal views, and the famous Punaluʻu Bake Shop are just a drive away. A property shaped with intention — honoring what was here, while creating a quiet life rooted in Hawaiʻi. Read Less
