Breathtaking Oceanfront

A timeless Hawaiian sanctuary at Kanoa fishpond, Kawela. Welcome to a truly rare offering- magnificent architecture set on Kanoa fishpond, where Old Hawai’i meets inspired design and serene island living. Just minutes from town yet worlds away, this extraordinary property offers unmatched privacy, beauty, and a deep connection to the land and sea. Reminiscent of late-1800s Hawaiian ‘hales’ and the villages of old Polynesia, the home features dramatic 12/12 pitched roofs, classic board-and-batten exterior walls, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout. High-quality materials and thoughtful details abound, from the custom quartz farmhouse kitchen sink to the elegant trim work and crown molding. Inside, soaring 16′ ceilings and excellent cross-ventilation create an atmosphere of beautiful natural light. Brazilian cherry floors were finished in place, adding warmth and richness. The spacious bath showcases marble tile floors and custom shell tiles in the shower. Soft yellow and sage green hues- vintage calming colors inspired by the 1930s and 1940s, enhance the home’s timeless character. The main residence is artfully designed as 3 separate “pods” for living, sleeping and dining, offering both flow and privacy. The multi-use kitchen allows you to wine, dine, cook and even do your laundry! Step outside and immerse yourself in nature. Fall asleep to the gentle lapping of the fishpond waters and, in the evenings, hear the distant sound of whales. Wander through a garden village with extensive raised beds and thoughtfully placed citrus trees, protected from salt spray. Enjoy unforgettable evenings around the incredible outdoor pizza oven! This property is also a thriving wildlife habitat and a unique ecosystem for endangered water birds. From crabbing and kayaking to throwing net Hawaiian-style, this is a place where island traditions come alive. A detached garage at the property entrance offers abundant storage and mirrors the architectural style of the home. 24 fully owner photovoltaic panels provide energy efficiency and peace of mind. This is more than a home- it is a treasure. A rare blend of location, architecture, history and natural beauty, offering a soulful nod to Old Hawai’i and an unparalleled way of life.
