About this property
Stunning Mid-Century Home in Mauna Kea Fairways South - Pool, Privacy & Views!
Welcome to Hale Kea (the "White House"). A whimsical Vintage Hawaii Style home with private pool & stunning ocean views for fantastic whale watching and star gazing. The home boasts two master suites and a private Ohana with two additional rooms. lush greenery, abundant tropical flowers and exceptional privacy, this home enjoys stunning views of Kauna'oa Bay and Maui, with front-row seats to the island's dazzling sunsets. The outdoor garden features a just-completed (October 2020) 40' lava-rimmed pool with a large tanning ledge, a large spa, new outdoor lava shower and a covered lanai with its own elegant changing and powder room.
The Mauna Kea Resort was the first world-class resort developed on the Kohala Coast, the site selected by Laurence Rockefeller because of its perfect natural white-sand crescent beach and its ideal year-round sunny climate. In his opinion, other resort locations simply did not compare.
This architecturally significant residence features locally handcrafted sustainable wood, reclaimed teak and modern European furnishings. Terrazzo Italian Carrera slab marble and imported glass tile are used extensively. Furnishings include works by contemporary and mid-century masters such as Eames, Phillipe Starck, Marcel Wanders, Verner Panton and Le Corbusier.
Hale Kea offers a friendly open-space floor plan with huge sliding-glass doors that open every room of the house to the beautiful, private outdoor setting and gentle ocean breezes. The kitchen is equipped with Viking appliances, white-marble counters, a small wine cellar, coffee and classic model Nespresso machine (please bring your own Nespresso pods) and water purification system. Should you need a break from ocean-gazing, the living room features a large wall-mounted TV (Full gold cable package), Netflix, Amazon, and even a DVD player providing many entertainment options. The home includes a Sonos sound system with speakers throughout the main living area and lanai.
Several indoor and outdoor dining options are available, situated to maximize the incredible views. Other amenities include a washer & dryer, a selection of books, complimentary WIFI access throughout the property and air-conditioning in every bedroom. The main living area (living room, dining room & kitchen) is designed to enjoy Hawaii's wonderful ocean breezes with ceiling fans and large screened sliding doors but is not air-conditioned.
There are two bedrooms in the main house, each with a king bed, private bathroom and air-conditioning. The detached "Hale I'i" (guest house) includes two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, and an attached Jack & Jill bathroom. Beds are dressed in luxurious linens. Bathrooms do not have tubs, but each has a large rain shower, robes and 5-star toiletries.
Guests of Hale Kea may purchase daily resort access to enjoy all facilities and amenities at both the Mauna Kea and Westin Hapuna Resorts.
