78-6781 Walua Rd, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740

Nestled on 2.3 acres of lush tropical land on the slopes of Hualālai, this stunning estate offers a rare combination of vintage charm and modern upgrades. Built in 1966, the home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its original 1960s character, including natural redwood ceilings and dramatic open beam architecture. Located just off the scenic Walua Walking Trail and overlooking Keauhou Bay, this is island living at its finest.
Enjoy ocean and sunset views from multiple rooms throughout the home. The expansive living and dining areas open via massive pocket doors to a tranquil screened-in lanai on one side and a lush private courtyard on the other—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. Just steps away, an oversized pool awaits, beautifully resurfaced with Hydrazzo finish and enhanced with new pool lights, heater, pump, and filter. A custom blue rock staircase leads to the pool, complementing the existing lava rock retaining walls.
