Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind island retreat – an elegant historic plantation manager’s residence that seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort. Set on 1.33 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this exceptional property captures the spirit of Old Hawai‘i while offering the upgrades today’s homeowners expect. Stately tropical palms sway above lush gardens dotted with mature fruit trees and more than 100 producing coffee trees. The current owner roasts the beans locally under a private estate label. The expansive ocean-view lanai provides the perfect setting for year-round indoor-outdoor living. Inside, soaring ceilings and abundant natural light highlight the home’s gracious proportions. The thoughtfully renovated interior (updated in 2005 with new electrical and plumbing systems) features four spacious bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. The large chef’s kitchen is designed for both entertaining and everyday living. Rich monkeypod countertops, a generous island with a five-burner gas stove create a functional and beautiful workspace. County water services the home, with gas supplied for appliances. Energy efficiency meets sustainability with a fully owned photovoltaic system enrolled in the Net Energy Metering program – a valuable asset that helps manage utility costs. On the ground floor, a separate living space offers exceptional flexibility. Complete with a three-quarter bath and kitchenette, it’s ideal for guests or extended family. Hobbyists and craftsmen will appreciate the separate four-bay carport structure. Currently configured with one parking space and an expansive workshop, the space is outfitted with an impressive array of tools – which may be included in the sale. This is more than a home – it’s a legacy property offering history, craftsmanship, self-sufficiency, and possibility. A rare chance to own a distinctive estate where elegance, productivity, and island beauty come together.
