- By Monica Lander

Paradise is calling. Don’t let this call go to voicemail, or you’ll miss a rare opportunit­y to own an extraordin­ary island property, finished in 2007, and now offered by the original owner.

Feel the embrace of tropical breezes from this more than 12-acre property, an ultra-private sanctuary with jaw-dropping views of the ocean, Haleakal, Maui’s highest peak, and the scenic Hana Bay point.

Custom designed by Southern California Architect Craig Edwards, the singlestor­y, modern Kapa’au estate takes full advantage of the spectacula­r views from each room. It showcases 7,500 square feet under roof that includes 3,000 square feet of interior living space that seamlessly connects to 4,500 square feet of inviting breezeways, lanais, generous overhangs, and an open-bay oversized garage.

Twenty-one exposed, structural stainless-steel columns, walls of windows, stained concrete floors, locally sourced lava rock, generous use of granite, and vertical grain Douglas Fir cabinetry with exposed parallel-strand lumber opening surrounds throughout are some of the architectu­ral detailing that sets this home apart.

The Royal palm tree-lined driveway creates a grand entry to this exceptiona­l resort-inspired and fully fenced property that also features photovolta­ic solar panels, a 40-foot custom pool with spa, and coconut, mango, and papaya trees, vegetable garden and more.

Envision a tennis court, grazing horses, putting green, extensive gardens, or whatever it takes to create your Shangri-La.

Located on the northern tip of the Big Island of Hawai’i at 54-3833 Pratt Road, it is within walking distance to the town of Kapa’au, and located on a wonderful walking, equestrian, biking and hiking cane haul road. It is also adjacent to Kamehameha Park with a nine-hole golf course, tennis courts, a large lap pool with showers, a playground, ball fields, and Roots skate park. Private and secluded, this home is also a short drive to two top-rated college preparator­y high schools in Waimea Town as well as thriving public schools, and a robust homeschool community.

In addition to Kapa’au, minutes away from the estate is the quaint town of Hawi which also offers eateries, gift shops, art galleries, and farmers’ markets. Kohala is steeped in local history and an abundance of old Hawaii remains. It is the birthplace of King Kamehameha who first united the Hawaiian islands. Kamehameha also farmed the fertile soil of Kohala.

The turnkey, furnished property features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, including a guest hale with a separate entrance and parking and a kitchenett­e with a wet bar, refrigerat­or, and microwave.

The great room feels expansive and is saturated with natural light, a vaulted ceiling and band of transom windows. Slide open multiple glass doors for quintessen­tial indoor-outdoor living and unobstruct­ed ocean views. The adjacent chef ’s kitchen features Van Gogh granite counters and island, custom cabinetry, a casual dining area, stainless appliances including four Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawers, and a new Viking gas cooktop.

The primary suite is a private retreat also with access to a lanai. This luxurious room has an expansive walk-in closet, additional luggage closet, a wallmounte­d flat screen television, built-in cabinetry/ bookcases, an en suite bath with a freestandi­ng Duravit Starck bathtub, an oversized shower, and custom vanity.

A green home with sustainabi­lity in mind features dual pane Low-E windows and is built with engineered lumber. Each bathroom floor uniquely utilizes colored EnviroGlas blended terrazzo cement.

Create an ideal remote working environmen­t with several high-speed internet options.

Additional features include municipal water, an oversized three-car garage with drive-through bays, flat-screen television­s, frontloadi­ng washer and dryer, recessed lights, and a built-in workstatio­n with cabinetry. This property is free from any restrictiv­e covenants, homeowners’ associatio­n, or dues.

The estate is about a 50-minute drive from Kona Internatio­nal Airport (KOA). Catch a non-stop flight directly from San Francisco Internatio­nal (SFO).

If you’ve ever considered having a Hawaii chapter in your life, this is it.
