Along a rarely available stretch of the Waa Waa coastline, this custom oceanfront residence offers remarkable architecture, privacy and self-sufficient living. Thoughtfully designed by Hawaiʻi architect Dennis Preston Davis and built by respected builder Bob Deringer, this home was created to complement its dramatic natural surroundings and capture expansive Pacific Ocean views. This 3B/2B residence features approx 2,256 sqft of interior living space, with each bathroom opening to its own private outdoor shower, an intimate island experience surrounded by tropical beauty. A 440 sqft covered lanai and 280 sqft enclosed garage bring the total area under roof to approximately 2,976 sqft while the additional 388 sqft concrete entry adds architectural presence and function. The home’s thoughtful design, quality construction and inspired interiors create an atmosphere that feels both refined and relaxed. Imagine stepping into this expansive residence with the opportunity to live in a beautifully coordinated, elegant coastal turnkey retreat. Designed for luxury living, the property features a robust, fully owned solar and battery system along with an approximately 18k gallon underground concrete water-catchment tank. Mature coconut palms, lush tropical landscaping and a magnificent lauhala tree frame the home and its sweeping ocean views. From the covered lanai, enjoy changing colors of the Pacific and the possibility of watching whales and dolphins pass offshore from your private lanai. Exceptional privacy, State land borders one side while the adjacent vacant parcel, TMK 3-1-4-28-02, is included in the sale and creates a valuable buffer on the other. This rare configuration provides an extraordinary sense of openness, separation and connection to the surrounding landscape. More than an oceanfront, this is a distinctive sanctuary for the buyer who values thoughtful architecture, natural beauty and an authentic connection to Hawaiʻi.

Waawaa Ahupua`a, located between Kaimū Bay and the Puna coastline, is a rural and ocean-oriented Hawaiian Beaches neighborhood with lava-formed terrain and wide-open night skies. The neighborhood reads as a patchwork of forested lots and low-slung homes set along quiet grid roads. Character concentrates around the Kehena Beach access area, where roadside fruit stands, small craft tables, and surf-watching pull-offs set an unhurried rhythm. Community pillars include Uncle Robert’s Awa Bar & Farmers Market, the SPACE Seaview Performing Arts Center, and the Makuʻu Farmers Market. The landscape shifts quickly from ʻōhiʻa canopy to black-sand shoreline, with trade winds and salt air shaping daily routines. Evenings lean toward porch time and stargazing, with the ocean always audible in the distance.
