Experience colorful Kona sunsets and an Eden-like paradise in this one-acre estate on gracious and
historical Keauhou Bay. Bask in the luxurious privacy of this botanical and architectural wonderland.
Suites with private garden entrances, children's room, two carved Balinese/Chinese opium beds on
the veranda, outdoor glass & cedar oceanfront sauna, fitness platform, HDTV theater center, gourmet
kitchen with full pantry, 6' x 8' walk-in cooler, full office & Bernina sewing center/laundry room.
Daily maid service & cook to prepare fresh island foods. The gate to this hidden garden estate glides
open, and you are greeted by a feast of rare palms, such as the red wax palm with a scarlet trunk, and
clusters of rare gold coconuts on dwarf palms, rare fruit trees, figs and orchids.
Walking through the lush courtyard approaching the spectacular carved Balinese entrance, you are
transported to another magical time and place. Ascending the 12-foot wide stairway of polished black
birch, you will catch your first glimpse of the palm-lined sea through the open carved doorway. Slip off
your shoes to the sounds of waves lapping the bay and the light ocean breeze brushing your face. You
have arrived!
Indoors is outdoors. In the large polished wood Great Room, there are no solid walls to the outside,
only sliders of 9' tall exotic wood louvers and white billowing translucent fabrics separating the living
areas from the lush, verdant gardens. Seamless indoor/outdoor living is your gift to discover in this
priceless paradise!
No expense was spared in any area. All of the rare marble in each bath is patina finished in the old
Italian and Grecian style and covers every square inch from floor to ceiling. The shower heads that
cascade from the ceiling are as large as glistening hubcaps, there are hand-blown light fixtures from
Florence, hand-carved opium beds from Java, solid teak cabinetry in 15 ft. x 8 ft. his & hers dressing
rooms. Each hand-made exotic wooden bar armchair crafted of Hawaiian koa wood is signed by the
artisan with a carved inlaid palm tree in each arm. The door casings are 2" thick x 6" wide custom
milled exotic woods, the walls are 10"-12" thick. The water throughout the home is softened, and
purified.
The Pools & Gardens
The owners have created an oasis of relaxation with a series of fabulous pools amidst beautiful gardens.
Imagine a combination of a Jungle Pool & an infinity edge lap pool, with large curvaceous lines fed by

waterfalls, rock grottos - and surrounded by rare, exotic, lush ferns & palms. There is a children's
wading pool & Jacuzzi spa of natural rock, and an architecturally stunning waterfall created to form a
diamond matrix of cascading water into an oceanfront sitting lawn. The rolling green lawns reach to the
shoreline on a private point, which juts out over the ocean with hammocks, palm trees and plush
upholstered teak lounges for reading a book, sipping a coconut and watching the gorgeous Kona
sunsets!
The pool, hot tub, sauna, and exercise platform are all located under a tropical plant canopy with ocean
views. There are five cushioned teak loungers & a hammock on the private palm-lined lawn that goes
right up to the edge of the bay, where a Hawaiian imu/cooking pit awaits the traditional lu'au feast.
A gate leads to the bay that is excellent for snorkeling, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The
entrance to the water is from the large rock shelf along the bay edge, and requires adult supervision.
The bay has a small dock & boat launch for sailboat or fishing boat charters.
The Great Room
Exquisite polished hardwood floors, and the finest custom designed furniture grace the interior.
Translucent walls of screen and fabric separate the living areas from lush verdant gardens. The great
room has polished mango wood vaulted ceilings, with all white plush, overstuffed furnishings. Beautiful
island orchids and rare tropical palms enhance the interior of the home.
The Great Room is over 110 ft. long with two levels and no solid walls on the ocean & pool side. There
is floor-to-ceiling teak cabinetry housing the HTDV theater & sound equipment. The Great Room
steps down into the formal dining room which seats 10 and looks out through the gardens to the
bayshore. The Great Room has beautiful original sculptures, vases and treasures from around the
Asia/Pacific region that are not pictured in our photographs because they are only placed out before
each guest arrives and then locked away in a vault when the property is not in use. Also, an abundance
of palms, orchids and interior plants are brought in from the greenhouse before each arrival.
The Great Room enjoys excellent sea breezes and has very high volume/high airflow ceiling fans. There
is even a large disco ball that can be set up on the Great Room veranda for a celebration.

The exotic Balinese/Chinese style opium beds on the covered veranda are perfect for afternoon
napping or stargazing.
The Suites
The elegance is understated and sophisticated, the style is Balinese. The Suites are large with polished
wood floors, 15-20 ft. ceilings, elegant white European linens & duvets on custom beds made by
Hawaiian artisans with netting for napping or sleeping with all the walls open to the gardens & the sea.
Each Suite has two walls of sliding wood louvers which can completely black-out the room for sleeping
in. There are also transparent white drapes for filtering afternoon sunlight. All rooms have stereo
speakers, TV and refrigerators in the dressing room. Each Suite has a large teak cabinetry dressing
room and a double-door entrance to an opulent patina marble bath. The Master Suite directly faces the
bay. Suite #2 faces the gardens of palms, papaya & coconut. Suite #3 faces the waterfalls & garden.
The baths have double marble sinks, 10 ft. ceilings with solid marble walls, glistening shower heads as
large as hubcaps, and all bevelled glass & mirrors. There is even a nursery/children's room that can be
set up with single or bunk beds, with a full bath.
His & Hers Master Baths
Let us begin by stating that in all of our travels throughout Asia, we have never seen larger or more
exquisitely designed Master Baths. Both His & Hers have full 8' x 15' teak cabinetry dressing rooms,
and baths that open to their private gardens. Her bath is two-toned patina marble with a porcelain
soaking tub & shower, W/C & bidet. His bath is the rare white & grey marble used for the Grecian
baths.
The Kitchen
There is a cook available (extra Cost) who can prepare meals upon request, using fresh herbs, fruits &
produce from the estate, and fresh fish caught in the bay. In the center of the kitchen facing the garden
and the bay shore is a circular stainless gaggenau chef's station with gas grill, surrounded by a circular
exotic wood bar. There are double 36" SubZeros, plus a 6' x 8' stainless steel walk-in cooler with glass
doors, two large cook's pantries - plus the kitchen itself has floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, two
sinks, and a large Sony TV with surround-sound.
