Set in the idyllic tropical setting of Puako, this kama’aina-owned beach cottage is a dream come true. The constant lull of the ocean provides the background sounds, while near perfect trade winds cool the home. Surrounded by native milo trees and lush foliage, this two story sanctuary has peek-a-boo views to the pristine blue ocean across the street. Beach access is only steps away.<br><br>Built in 2002, this residence is on 14,000 square feet of land. The cathedral ceiling creates spaciousness in the living room and kitchen, while glass sliders let the sun-filled light in. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bath with wrap-around decks offering many spaces to relax and/or entertain. A corner of the living room has two punee (traditional Hawaiian daybeds) creating an Old Hawai’i feel. The primary bedroom with its own access to the large lanai overlooking the pond. The second bedroom was built as a “bunk room” for weekend family jaunts to Puako. <br><br>An inviting one bedroom/one bath living space is located on the ground floor with its own entrance and private deck/backyard space. The large lanai below the second story stays cool and creates a place for gathering, dining, game playing or it could be turned into a potential workspace. <br><br>The iconic Puako pond at the back of the home was once a place for Hawaiian locals to store their fish caught from the ocean. An aerobic wastewater treatment system is installed on property. <br><br>At the end of Puako Drive is a surf spot at Paniau, and a great place to watch the sunset. A short walk south from Paniau takes you to the beautiful resorts of the Fairmont Orchid and the Mauna Lani Resort. There are no HOA or association fees. <br><br>Centrally located, Puako has a general store and is convenient to shopping, golf courses, world-class resorts and the infamous Hapuna Beach. Come make this historic spot the home of your dreams. <br>Tour: https://player.vimeo.com/video/823616625?h=0060c97f8b. ... Read more
