About 53-364 Kapanaia Rd A
Welcome to North Kohala, where time slows and Hawaiʻi reveals its most breathtaking beauty. This unique retreat isn’t just a home – it’s a private sanctuary set on one of the Big Island’s most coveted and unspoiled coastlines. Properties this size and location almost never come on the market.
This rare 1.58-acre property is set on a quiet road leading to Kapanaia Beach. Wake up to the sound of the birds and tradewinds, with sunlight spilling across the Pacific. Watch the humpback whales breach and listen to the surf breaking on the shoreline. The property provides seclusion with easy walking access to public shoreline and coastal trails.
The vintage two-bedroom, one-bath plantation house features renovated wood finishes, distant ocean views, and a large soaking tub on the back lanai. The front lanai overlooks mature trees, the Kohala Mountains, and Halawa Gulch with its seasonal stream. The fully fenced yard includes avocados, oranges, and bananas, plus space for additional plantings in the gulch, as well as a two-section pet run. A detached garage and workshop with an elevated viewing platform offers panoramic ocean, mountain, and forest views with strong restoration potential.
North Kohala is known for its rich history, spectacular coastline, and laid-back but vibrant culture. Just minutes from the restaurants, coffee shops, music, and galleries of Kapaʻau and Hawi, you are also just a short drive from the world class beaches, resorts, and golf courses of Kona’s Gold Coast. Waimea, Hawaii’s original mountain town and birthplace of the paniolo culture, is just up the road. The home remains a peaceful oasis with just the sights and sounds of the natural environment.
Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, a vacation escape, or an investment in one of Hawaii’s most sought after communities, this little slice of authentic Hawaiʻi is an exceptionally rare opportunity to live where others vacation and wake up in paradise every day.
