Estate of the Day: Hawaii
by HauteLiving

A private residential resort strategically sited to overlook the Kawainui Stream, this 14.5 ac. estate embodies the finest qualities of the Hamakua Coast. Expansive, dramatic views of Mauna Kea, the ocean and Kawainui Stream are further magnified by the precise location of the main residence, guest house and the authentic Japanese Tea House. The main house embraces the external elements from within the sprawling slate floored living area. The guest suites are accessed through a magnificent iron gate decorated with copper birds-of-paradise, heliconia and foliage. The master suite combination library, office and Japanese bath offer yet another tranquil refuge. The Japanese garden and tea house is approached through a courtyard called a roji, meaning ‘dewy path.’ Surrounded by ornamental bonsai plants and trees and picturesque ponds filled with rare koi, the tea house is fully self sufficient as a guest retreat. This stunning property is a rare find, a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Offered @ $3,425,000
