An extraordinary relationship between architecture and horizon defines 59-605 Maluhi. From the moment you enter the foyer, the eye is drawn through a dramatic 28-foot wall of Sapele-trimmed retractable glass doors to the covered lanai, across the vanishing-edge infinity pool and out to the Pacific beyond, creating an almost uninterrupted plane of water and sky. When fully opened, the glass wall virtually disappears, dissolving the boundary between the home and its outdoor living spaces. Nearly 180-degree coastline and ocean views unfold across the makai side, while turning mauka reveals an entirely different landscape—the green slopes of the Kohala Mountains. From mountain to ocean, the setting is unmistakably Kohala. Set on just over five acres in Meadows II of Kohala Ranch, this almost-new 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers 2,810 sq ft of thoughtfully designed interior living space that extends naturally outdoors. Travertine flooring and warm natural finishes complement the architecture while allowing the surrounding landscape to remain the focus. The light-filled kitchen pairs generous cabinetry with a suite of stainless appliances in an open design oriented toward the ocean and outdoor entertaining areas. The primary suite features an ocean outlook, a spa-inspired bath, a soaking tub, a rainfall shower, custom California Closets, and a private outdoor shower set against natural lava rock. Positioned across the home, two additional ensuite bedrooms create a separate guest wing, offering privacy and separation from the primary suite. The home has moved beyond its initial post-construction shake-out and refinement period, with items that naturally revealed themselves through first-year real-world occupancy identified and addressed with the builder through the one-year warranty process. Kohala Ranch offers privacy, open landscapes and expansive skies, with the beaches, resorts, golf and dining of the Kohala Coast.
