Kawainui Estate is a private residential oasis centered at the base of Mauna Kea with panoramic views the cobalt blue Pacific and a large stream with waterfalls. Casual yet elegant island retreat with over 13,000 square feet under roof. The main house offers rooms for entertaining, a separate wing for guests or children, and two swimming pools that invite you to take a midnight dip (go ahead - there are no neighbors to watch!). Sprawling slate floored living area, cascading sliding glass doors and unique Koa hardwood cabinetry and furniture throughout. A custom made copper gate decorated with Bird of Paradise, Heliconia and tropical foliage greets you as you enter. The master suite combination library, office and Japanese bath overlooks one of the swimming pools & waterfalls. The master suite, guest wing and office all have air conditioning. The 'Tea House' and Japanese garden has unobstructed views of the ocean and Keaukaha Point. Tatami mats grace the sleeping area and shoji screen doors create private spaces. The tea house is surrounded by ornamnetal bonsai plants and landscaped ponds filled with high quality Koi Fish from Japan. The tea house is fully self sufficient as a guest retreat, including kitchen, bedroom and bath. A Tiki Bar sits overlooking Kawainui Stream and the Pacific Ocean - a perfect site to sit with friends and enjoy the warm and balmy tropical ambiance. An infinity-edge swimming pool next to the Tiki Bar invites you to swim and dive into the waterfall. The barn, with a tissue culture lab and 3 parking stalls, is ideal for the serious farmer or orchid/tropical fruit enthusiast. Tropical fruit orchards - including Macadamia Nut, Avocadoes, Rambutan, Bananas and Papaya border the barn on the north side. Exotic tropical flowers and ornamentals - Heliconia, Ginger and more - are everywhere. Imagine yourself sitting poolside sipping a mai-tai. Feel the warmth of the sun. Watch the palm trees swaying in the gentle trade winds. Gracious Hawaii...
