Experience elevated coastal living in this extraordinary custom-built tropical oasis located less than 950 feet from the Pacific Ocean in one of Hawaiian Paradise Park's desirable coastal sunbelt locations. Designed for Hawaiian living, this distinctive home combines exceptional craftsmanship, luxury finishes, energy efficiency, and expansive indoor-outdoor living. A striking roof cupola crowns the home, adding architectural character while helping release rising heat, improve ventilation, and introduce natural light. Inside, soaring open-beam ceilings, Brazilian hardwood flooring, extensive travertine, granite surfaces, and handcrafted Hawaiian artwork create warmth and distinction. Artistic details include a custom mural and an impressive floor-to-ceiling relief. The thoughtfully designed layout flows seamlessly to the surrounding tropical landscape. Expansive wraparound covered lanais provide over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living for dining, entertaining, or relaxing while enjoying peekaboo ocean views, cooling breezes, and the soothing sound of nearby waves. The home offers spacious bedroom suites, beautifully appointed baths, generous storage, and a deep bamboo soaking tub for a spa-inspired retreat. The mature grounds have been cultivated into a private botanical oasis featuring palms, bamboo, hibiscus, ginger, bromeliads, crotons, ti plants, monstera, tropical ferns, flowering ornamentals, fruit-bearing plants, edible gardens, and raised vegetable beds. Additional features include an owned photovoltaic solar system, solar hot water, private well, and septic system. Rarely found together, this home offers custom tropical architecture, artisan finishes, over 1,000 square feet of covered outdoor living, mature tropical landscaping, and a coveted location less than 950 feet from the Pacific Ocean. More than a home, it's a private island retreat crafted for the very best of Hawaiʻi living.
Waikahekahenui Ahupua`a, located between Keaau and Kapoho, is a coastal and rainforest Hawaiian Paradise Park neighborhood with lava-formed terrain and a grid of quiet residential roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Keaau-Pahoa Road corridor near the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision entrance, where roadside produce stands, small service shops, and local food counters set a practical, island-day rhythm. Homes lean toward single-story, indoor-outdoor layouts with broad lanais and lots framed by ʻōhiʻa and palms. Daily life tracks the weather—trade winds, sudden showers, and long green views. Shoreline drives lead to tidepools and black-lava edges, while nearby parks and markets anchor errands and weekend routines.
