5 Elevated Hawaii Estates from Kona to Kahala Beachfront Living

Within the private gates of Bayview Estates in Kailua Kona, this custom-designed home balances relaxed island living with thoughtful, modern functionality. An excellent open floor plan is paired with lofty 10-foot ceilings, creating a light, easy flow throughout. An office/bonus room adds flexibility for work, hobbies, or quiet retreat. On the west side of the home, wide Fleetwood pocket doors open to a covered ocean-view lanai, extending daily life outdoors and inviting long, unhurried evenings. Recent upgrades include a new PV system with two Tesla storage batteries, new split A/C systems, and electronically controlled sun shades—details that support comfort and ease across the seasons. The result is a home designed for effortless days and lingering sunsets.

Set in Honolulu’s Kahala area, this all-level, modern residence is solidly concrete-built and designed for easy everyday living. A private patio topped with skylights creates a sheltered extension of the home—equally suited to outdoor dining, a home gym, or a yoga and massage studio—with the option for a hot tub spa. Outside, an easy-care stone garden pairs with a real grass lawn, mature trees, and a lush sense of arrival. An access ramp simplifies everything from groceries to strollers and wheelchairs. Inside, remodeled windows, a chef’s kitchen, updated dining room and bathrooms, and a generously sized accessible shower in the primary bathroom bring comfort and function into focus. Split ACs in every bedroom, all-new kitchen appliances, a new water heater, and new interior flooring complete the refresh, with a 2-car garage plus a third parking/car-wash stall.

From its elevated setting in Bayview Estates, this three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is tuned to the rhythms of Kailua-Kona—tradewinds drifting down Hualalai Mountain at night and ocean breezes rising through the day. Indoors and out connect with ease, opening to wide ocean, coastline, and sunset views that define daily life. The spacious, private, covered lanai becomes a natural gathering place, whether you’re tracking the season’s whales, watching boats and canoes move across the water, or lingering over famous Kona sunsets. Outside, an inground solar-heated saltwater pool anchors a resort-style setting designed for long, unhurried afternoons. Practical comforts are built in, too, with a fully owned photovoltaic net metering system and a solar hot water system helping keep energy costs low.

A study in contemporary flexibility, this multi-generational residence is configured as a fully remodeled main home plus a detached Ohana dwelling, creating multiple ways to live, host, or generate income. The front house was completely remodeled in 2024 with a new roof, new siding, and double-wall construction. Upstairs, it offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms; downstairs—reached via a private exterior staircase—adds 1 bedroom, an entertainment room/den, and 1.5 bathrooms, well-suited to guests or extended family. The separate Ohana dwelling brings even more versatility, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom upstairs and 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom downstairs. Energy-minded upgrades include 50 photovoltaic panels and two Tesla Powerwall battery systems. A new enclosed carport and driveway completed in 2025 can accommodate up to 10 cars, supporting daily life with ease.
