Perched on the cliffs of Waipunalie on the Big Island on Hawaii is the majestic Ocean Soul estate. The three bedroom, three bath home sits on a total of 14.094 acres boasts expansive Pacific Ocean views that will sooth the soul. Whale watch from the lanai during the winter months, and explore your private black sand beach in the summer.
Built with a mix of stone, natural woods, and strategically placed floor to ceiling windows the estate home brings the indoors in, blending with the surrounding cliffside jungle setting.
Ground level of the home offers the main living area of kitchen, dining area, and bedroom with en-suite bath. Carved into the hillside, the living room boasts a rock wall with fireplace and wood ceiling with recessed lighting. Intimate sitting areas are carved out within the home to contemplate the one-of-a-kind sights.
The kitchen's wood ceilings and natural wood cabinetry compliment the tree-top and ocean view from the kitchen. It feels like you're in a treehouse! The sky comes alive with the subtle east Hawaii Island sunset flooding the home with color as you sit down for dinner.
The upper level master suite is outfitted with a walk-in closet, large jetted tub, double sinks, walk-in slate tile shower, and breathtaking eagle-eye ocean views. Floor to ceiling windows offer a backdrop of indigo blue water, wispy cotton white clouds, and emerald green jungle. A second bedroom on the upper level takes advantage of the jungle views, with a zen-like wooden soaking tub and rich slate tiling with natural wood accents.
The elegant lap pool is fenced and private with a concrete deck for sunning. Throughout the property are expertly crafted vistas and secret locations to take in the sights. Extensive engineering went into the solid construction of the home which could not be built today due to zoning restrictions, so it truly is a remarkable offering. The Hamakua Coast is one of the Hawaiian Islands most scenic and unpopulated coastlines. It stretches for 80 miles of exceptional agricultural lands with gulches, waterfalls and abundant flora.
