53-364 KAPANAIA Rd AKapaau, HI 96755

Welcome to North Kohala, where time slows and Hawaii reveals its most breathtaking beauty. This unique retreat isn't just a home - it's a private sanctuary set on one of the Big Island's most coveted and unspoiled coastlines. Properties this size and location almost never come on the market. This 1.58-acre property is set on a quiet road leading to Kapanaia Beach. Wake up to the sound the birds and tradewinds, with sunlight spilling across the Pacific. Watch the whales breach and listen to the shoreline surf break. The property provides peaceful seclusion and some of the cleanest air on the planet, with easy walking access to public shoreline and coastal trails. The vintage two-bedroom, one-bath plantation house features renovated wood finishes, distant ocean views, and a large soaking tub on the back lanai. The front lanai overlooks the Kohala Mountains and Halawa Gulch's mature trees and seasonal stream. The fully fenced yard includes avocados, oranges, and bananas, plus ample space for additional plantings in the gulch, as well as a pet run. A detached garage and workshop with an elevated viewing platform offers panoramic ocean, mountain, and forest views with strong restoration potential. North Kohala is known for its rich history, spectacular coastline, and laid-back but vibrant culture. You are minutes from the restaurants, coffee shops, music, and galleries of Kapaau and Hawi, and just a short drive from the world class beaches, resorts, and golf courses of Kona's Gold Coast. Waimea, Hawaii's original mountain town and birthplace of the paniolo culture, is just up the road. Your home remains a peaceful oasis with the sights and sounds of the natural environment. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, vacation escape, or investment in one of Hawaii's most sought after communities, this little slice of authentic Hawaii is an exceptionally rare opportunity to live where others vacation and wake up in paradise every day.
