House inventory might be a challenge right now, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find some gems if you look hard enough! For those looking to snatch up their own slice of Hawaiian paradise, you can’t go wrong with this beautiful home in the coveted Puu Lani Ranch neighborhood. But you have to move fast; this house won’t last long!
Home Amenities
This custom-built home was constructed in 1996 and is stock-full of luxurious amenities. Here’s a quick rundown of the home’s specs:
1.1-acre lot
3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
2,996 square feet
Oversize three-car garage
Coastline and mountain views
The minute you swing open the front door, you can tell this house was built with love. Everything was custom made and features complete walls of windows to catch the breathtaking views of Hualalai, Pu’uwa’awa’a, the Kona Coast, and the Ocean. You wouldn’t believe the sunsets you can catch from the lanai—but more on that later!
Living Space
The front door opens into a large, open living space with incredible vaulted ceilings with open rafters. There’s plenty of space to fit all your furniture, friends, and their friends for incredible entertaining. The walls on both sides of the room are completely covered with windows that overlook the incredible scenery all around you.
If the nights get a little chilly, you can warm up next to the large wood-burning fireplace. Commercial-grade vinyl wood-grained flooring covers the entire space for a durable yet luxurious look.
The wide-open living space flows right into the dining room on one side and a private reading nook on the other. Both sides of the house feature massive panoramic windows that stretch all the way to the top of the vaulted ceiling for unbeatable views of the Hawaiian landscape. Imagine having a dinner party with that behind you, or relaxing while watching the stars.
Kitchen
The kitchen is set just behind the dining room but still open to the main living space to maintain eyelines into the living room and dining room. Even when you’re cooking or grabbing your next drink, you can still be a part of the party!
Like with the rest of the house, the kitchen features all the amenities you’d need to make delicious gourmet meals:
Large open preparation space
Center island
Corian countertops
Tons of counterspace
More vaulted ceilings
To make entertaining even easier, there’s even a pass-through window that goes directly out to the lanai. You can hand drinks and hors d'oeuvres right from the kitchen to your guests relaxing outside!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
The bedrooms are set off to the side of the main living area to give you some privacy, even if there’s a party going on. The master owner’s bedroom has plenty of space for decoration and its own private enclosed lanai. The master bedroom lanai is currently being used as an office, but you can easily transform it into the perfect relaxation space when you need to get away from it all.
Just off the owner’s bedroom is a private dressing area, a walk-in closet, and a large bathroom with double vanity and sliding doors that lead outside to a free-standing hot tub. When you need to relax, there’s no shortage of ways to do it!
The two guest bedrooms offer built-in bookcases, plenty of natural light, and sliding doors to the back lanai. Down the hall, there’s also a guest bathroom and a full-size laundry room with counterspace.
Lanai
Off the main living space is a massive lanai with tile floors and enough space to fit everything you need to enjoy the outdoor Hawaiian life. On days when you don’t want direct sun (specifically in late afternoon), you can roll down the shades and still enjoy the extra living space without needing your sunglasses.
Landscaping
The property is immaculately maintained and filled with various types of tropical fruit. What could be better than basking in the Hawaiian sunshine while enjoying your own home-grown limes, lemons, bananas, dragon fruit, and papayas?
Puu Lani Ranch Neighborhood
The home sits in the coveted Puu Lani Ranch Neighborhood on 1.1 acres. The gated neighborhood sits right on the crater rim of the Puu Anahulu with incredible views of the coast and the mountains. You can enjoy the mild year-round temperatures while participating in activities like hiking, horseback riding, tennis, or socializing in the clubhouse.
The neighborhood is completely horse-friendly, complete with a large equestrian center with stables, a riding arena, and over 12 miles of riding trails. After all, your horses deserve a little slice of paradise, too!
You can also stay in beach-ready shape by visiting the fully equipped fitness center. There are also plenty of sports facilities in the neighborhood, including tennis, basketball, and pickleball courts.
What’s Around?
You don’t have to go far to enjoy some of the best attractions the Big Island has to offer. If you want to play on one of the best hidden-gem golf courses in the United States, the Makani Golf Club is just up the street from the neighborhood.
