71-1890 Queen Kaahumanu Highway

A visionary hideaway originally crafted in Indonesia and painstakingly reassembled on the pristine shores of the Big Island offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an architectural masterpiece. Where jagged lava fields meet the endless azure of the Pacific Ocean sits the crown jewel of the Kohala Coast. Far more than a residence, this compound is a testament to extraordinary personal vision and global craftsmanship. This is a magnificent Balinese estate transported across the sea to rest seamlessly upon Hawaiian shores. Kiholo Bay is a marvel of untouched nature, and this property respects that raw beauty. Designed in the traditional Balinese style, the estate is organized as a rhythmic series of independent pavilions. These structures are thoughtfully arranged in a compound layout woven together by a network of open-air decks and sheltered walkways. Originally built in Bali by 280 master craftsmen using Indonesian ironwood and teak, the structure was dismantled and shipped, then reassembled in Hawaii using traditional wooden pegs. Its most striking feature is a massive roof of over one million wooden shingles meticulously laid to resemble dragon skin. The interior serves as a living museum blending Southeast Asian history with the Hawaiian environment. Living spaces are adorned with intricate Indonesian carvings while sliding doors vanish to invite the Pacific breeze. The kitchen sits in its own circular pavilion, designed to promote natural airflow and effortless outdoor dining. The retreat includes an expansive direct ocean primary pavilion. From this vantage point, sliding walls reveal a breathtaking panorama where the deep blues of the Pacific transition into the rising silhouettes of the Kohala Mountains. Completely self-sustaining with its own water and solar systems, the estate is a resilient cultural masterpiece that harmonizes the spirit of Bali with the majesty of the Big Island.
