“Welcome to Hale Ho’ola’i.” It’s just the sort of invitation one wants to receive when it comes to this tranquil and newly listed oceanfront Honolulu estate. The modern residence spans 1.43 picturesque acres on Nui Beach — “one of the most picturesque shorelines in Honolulu,” according to listing agent Tracy Allen of Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties. As well, it boasts 185 feet of beach frontage and a panoramic vista stretching from Koko Head to Diamond Head. We’re pretty sure once you step inside…you won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
The custom entry gate opens to reveal a masterpiece created for contemporary living and entertaining. As you travel along the circular driveway, the modern hanging arched lights and lush tropical plantings set an immediate tone of serenity. Designed to blend with the natural setting and elements, vessels of fire greet you as you walk across floating stone slabs and shimmering turquoise water towards the entryway. Sleek white walls, warm wood and glossy surfaces provide the backdrop for the beauty awaiting inside. Skylights funnel natural Honolulu light into the entry foyer with impressive 18.5-foot walls of glass, while fully custom, energy-efficient Fleetwood sliding glass doors open onto a large wrap-around lanai, which provides stunning ocean views for an indoor/outdoor living experiences.
There’s another moment of wow in the foyer: a contemporary Spark fire ribbon linear gas fireplace, with an ultra-modern two-story carved fascia, makes its presence known with an abundance of comfortable seating. It’s the perfect setting for both grand and intimate gatherings.
The party can be extended to the adjacent entertainment room with a wet bar opening onto the lanai and pool deck.
The state-of-the-art kitchen continues the indoor/outdoor tradition. Flanked by the family/media room and an expansive 12-seat dining room, it opens onto the lanai with views of seaside tiki torches, lush green lawns by the pool and ocean blue. Designed for a master chef, the kitchen also features a 14-foot center island and impeccable cabinets by SieMatic, plus Miele, Sub Zero and Gaggenau appliances.
When it’s time to retreat to one of the seven bedrooms in the house, you’ll find two options: the circular floating stairway to the upper level bridge or the elevator. Upstairs, you’ll find a rather heavenly master suite, which features an Agape Spoon tub, walk-in closet and lanai/balcony overlooking the coastline and sea beyond. A second master suite with an adjoining study and two additional bedrooms are found on this level. (A third master suite with ocean and garden views, as well as an additional bedroom are located on the entry level.)
Beyond the main residence, Hale Ho’ola’i is a true Honolulu getaway with enclosed gardens, water features, a zero water line pool, an 8-person raised Jacuzzi and a pool pavilion with entertaining areas, plus a six-person wood sauna, full bathroom and outdoor shower. There is also a tennis court and tennis pavilion with a spacious room and full bath — perfect for playing gams, exercise, yoga or meditation. These indoor/outdoor elements truly beckon you to linger just a little longer in tropical bliss.
Offered for $20,000,000, this special oceanfront estate is an invitation to experience the true aloha spirit of Honolulu’s gorgeous Nui Beach. For more information, contact Tracy Allen at 808-593-6415 or tracy@cbpacific.com.
