This private, gated Kilauea Plantation riverfront estate is located on 13.27 lush acres and was built in 1942. It was the first, largest and most elaborate stone-walled residence built on the plantation at that time. Field lava rock was transported via plantation railroad for the construction and many field rocks, weighing over 2,000 pounds each, were used to construct the massive two-foot deep walls, the 2 large “walk-in” fireplaces, the columns for the 10-foot-wide covered lanais running the length of the house and the columns for the 2 grand Porte Cocheres. The unique “butterfly design” of the main house adapts to the climate and the informal lifestyle of Hawaii. Its main floor has an impressive greeting room with a large stone fireplace. The large grand room has a floor to ceiling rock fireplace, beautiful rare Ohia wood floors, and a private office. The formal dining room can accommodate many guests and the huge sky-lit kitchen is equipped for large events. The second floor boasts beautiful Douglas Fir floors and has four large bedroom suites with central air conditioning and three bathrooms. An outside “Loo” bathroom is perfect for guests and staff. This one-of-a-kind private estate has beautiful grounds, organic gardens, and is surrounded by the Kilauea River with waterfalls and swimming ponds. Another stone house on the estate for staff or guests has two bedrooms and a bathroom. The stone building referred to as “The Yoga Studio” is most unique. A large six car stall garage, designed by a serious car collector, and a two-car open carport is situated adjacent to the garage. Opposite the garage is another 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment for rental or staff. Additional development of up to an additional 24 dwellings may be approved per the portion of residential zoning on the parcel. An active Special Use Permit for weddings and events runs with the property. This property is on historic registries. An amazing opportunity on Kauai's stunning North Shore.

The Kilauea Plantation Manager's Estate. Originally built by L. D Larsen, manager of the Kilauea Plantation from 1919 to 1930, has a 6,306 sq. ft. main residence. The stately residence offers a sprawling 2 story floor plan, with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an office, huge kitchen, formal dining room, grand room, and impressive entry. This gated estate offers over 13 acres of private manicured grounds, including ponds with waterfalls, and is surrounded by the Kilauea River. Some of the special and unique features of the estate include beautiful ohia and douglas fir floors, 2 lava rock fireplaces, 2 porte cochere, covered patios that run the entire length of the house on both sides, and a large upstairs lanai which capitalizes on the gorgeous views of the property. In addition, there is a carriage house, work shop, and 3 garage bays. Beautiful lava rocks were used to build this historical home. Some of the original stone buildings in Kilauea town were also built by L. D. Larsen. Step back in time to experience the same palatial estate that Queen Lili'uokalani once graced in the early 1900's.
