Estate Home at Puako Bay (74)

4BD Estate Home at Puako Bay (74) is reintroduced in 2026 following an extensive transformation of its outdoor spaces, this private oceanfront estate brings a new level of resort-style living to one of Puako Bay’s most distinctive residential settings.

The centerpiece is a new saltwater infinity pool overlooking the Pacific, surrounded by refreshed landscaping and multiple places to dine, lounge, and gather outdoors. A fully equipped Viking outdoor kitchen, Restoration Hardware lanai furnishings, upper and lower dining areas, a new powder room, and an outdoor shower turn the grounds into a true extension of the home.

The primary ocean-facing suite now opens to an expanded lanai, with a new stairway offering direct access to the lawn and ocean beyond.

Inside, the 3,453-square-foot estate retains the character that has long distinguished it: handcrafted hardwood details, vaulted ceilings, generous lanais, and ocean views framed by mature tropical landscaping and a remarkable banyan tree. The three-bedroom main residence is complemented by a private one-bedroom guest suite with its own kitchen, entrance, laundry, and lanai.

The result is a home that still feels unmistakably Puako, but now offers a fully realized outdoor living environment, one where the pool, the kitchen, the dining areas, and the lanai work together as a single outdoor experience rather than as separate amenities.

LIVING AND DINING
Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and ocean-facing windows give the home its warm island character, while keeping the Pacific in frame from nearly every angle.

Two generous seating areas provide room for the group to gather without crowding, while the indoor dining table seats eight. A long granite bar connects the living room to the kitchen, keeping the space open and social whether guests are preparing dinner, pouring drinks, or settling in after a day on the water.

The living areas open naturally onto the wraparound lanai, extending the home toward the ocean and creating an easy connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Smart TVs, Sonos audio, and high-speed Wi-Fi provide entertainment and connectivity throughout the residence.

KITCHEN AND OUTDOOR COOKING
The main kitchen pairs granite counters with Viking appliances, a gas range, and a breakfast bar with seating for six. The cook's position faces the ocean, so meal preparation comes with a view. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from morning coffee and casual breakfasts to dinners for the whole group.

Outside, the newly expanded cooking setup substantially extends that capability. The Viking outdoor kitchen includes a gas BBQ, side burner, and two-drawer refrigerator, designed so meals, drinks, and entertaining can stay entirely outdoors.

With dining areas on both levels of the home, guests can choose between the shade of the upper lanai, the garden setting of the lower terrace, or indoor dining when the group wants to come together inside.

POOL, LANAIS AND OCEANFRONT LIVING
A new saltwater infinity pool now anchors the grounds, and it is here where the 2026 transformation is most apparent.

Framed by Restoration Hardware furnishings and set against freshly landscaped grounds, the pool is positioned toward the ocean with multiple seating and dining areas giving the group room to spread out throughout the day, from morning coffee beneath the banyan to lunch beside the pool and non-stop happy hours as the light changes over Puako Bay.

A new powder room serves the outdoor areas, while the ground level outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after the ocean.

The primary suite’s expanded upper lanai now has its own stairway directly to the lawn, creating a private connection between the suite and the ocean front views.

The shoreline is just beyond the lawn. Guests can explore Puako’s reef, lava shoreline, and coastal waters when conditions allow, or simply stay home and watch the sunset from the lanai or pool.

Beach equipment is provided for excursions along the Kohala Coast.

PUAKO AND THE KOHALA COAST
Puako is one of the Kohala Coast’s most distinctive residential communities: a quiet oceanfront neighborhood removed from the major resorts but close to many of the island’s best beaches, restaurants, golf courses, and outdoor experiences.

The coastline here is defined by lava shelves, reefs, tide pools, and small beach access points, making it particularly rewarding for snorkeling and shoreline exploration when ocean conditions permit.

Some of the Kohala Coast’s best-known sandy beaches and resort amenities are a short drive away. Waimea is approximately 20 minutes inland, with farmers markets, ranch-country restaurants, and a cooler upland setting that feels remarkably different from the coast. North Kohala and Hawi are also easily reached for galleries, local shops, restaurants, and day trips farther north.

The advantage of Puako is that after exploring the island, guests return to a residential community that becomes remarkably quiet by evening.
