Property Description

Approached by a private driveway beneath a canopy of towering evergreens, this magical Waimea estate unfolds like a hidden retreat. Nestled on over one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property offers exceptional privacy just minutes from the heart of Kamuela. Bordering the University of Hawaii Mealani Agriculture Station, the setting enjoys rolling pastures, grazing cattle, and protected open space that preserves Waimea's iconic ranchland character. Designed by Lucky Bennett, this custom four-bedroom, four-bath home showcases the timeless craftsmanship of Old Hawaii with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, a sculptural ohia support post, solid koa parquet floors with koa dowels, handcrafted koa railings, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling lava rock fireplace. Expansive windows fill the home with natural light and frame the surrounding landscape. The open-concept great room flows into the chef's kitchen, featuring curly koa cabinetry, a mango wood bar, and inviting spaces for gathering and entertaining. Just beyond, a covered lanai, spa, and outdoor dining area overlook the lush gardens and neighboring pastures. A three-car garage, separate workshop, and game room add flexibility for hobbies, storage, and island living, with ample additional parking for a boat, trailer, or other recreational equipment. The main level includes two bedrooms, one with an en-suite bath, plus a separate one-bedroom, one-bath suite with its own private lanai, ideal for guests, extended family, or a private office or retreat. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys peaceful pastoral views and a quiet sense of seclusion. Mature trees, expansive lawns, and beautifully maintained landscaping create a true park-like setting. A rare opportunity to own one of Waimea's hidden gems, conveniently located near top schools, farmers markets, restaurants, and shopping, while the world-class beaches, golf courses, and resorts of the Kohala Coast are just a short drive away.
