13.7 Acres in Ookala, HI - $2,495,000
Absolutely unique Tri-level, bluff home with incredible ocean views, beach, AND 13 acres of tropical forest, which encompasses a significant portion of the Kaa'wali'i gulch. The lush, rugged coastline and proximity to the sparkling sea provide dramatic views from every room in the house - even the baths and laundry room! With views from every room, you wont miss the breaching whales, or the carefree dolphins frolicking in the waves. Even the beautiful new swimming pool and surrounding sun deck offer spectacular ocean views. This residence provides a connection to the simple beauty and power of Hawaii.
Access to the gulch begins at the two car garage: a sugar cane era road leads to the level valley floor, beach, bathing pool and seasonal stream. A short distance inland from the rocky beach explore the ruins of the old sugar mill.

Construction is top quality and quite an engineering feat. The solid foundation is poured deep into bedrock. A lava rock wall incorporated into the architecture provides both stability and an interesting design feature. Copper roof and railings, Redwood exterior, interior walls and ceilings of Cedar, slate floors, floor to ceiling windows, curly Koa wood cabinets, granite counter tops, Sub Zero refrigerator, jetted tub in master bath, and an extra large shower room, are just some of the custom features.
The current owners have upgraded the home, adding luxury details throughout. They added the swimming pool, a Japanese wooden furo soaking tub in a guest bathroom, new flooring in the bedrooms, a walk-in master bedroom closet, and extensive lava-rock construction at the entry gate and around the pool.
Sale includes TMK 3-3-9-1-17 of 4,182 square feet and TMK 3-3-6-5-14 CPR unit 2 of 13,852 square feet.
Pipeline pro Mike Stewart built this house so he could watch the incoming swells and ride the waves when the surf is up.
