67-1197 N Alulike Rd, Kamuela, HI 96743 listing details

Beautifully surrounded by cypress and eucalyptus trees, this gracious timber-frame home is situated in one of the most desirable locations within the unique gated community of Waikii Ranch. Its rustic style perfectly fits the setting of rolling green pastures at 4,700 feet elevation on the slopes of Mauna Kea, with views of the endless ocean and the pristine Kohala Mountain range. Designed to invite outdoor light, the home includes lots of windows, French doors, and a perfect, deep wraparound lanai (porch). The exterior railings, siding, shingles, and facias are western red cedar, and t...he massive exposed post and beam framing is close-grained, old growth Douglas fir from a 100 year-old dismantled Canadian sawmill. Engineered and built by craftsmen from northern Washington state, this extraordinary home uses trunnel-fastened, mortise-andtenon joinery throughout, providing connections of enormous beauty and strength. The kitchen includes high end appliances with a design a professional chef would love. Open to both the dining and main living areas, the kitchen invites easy entertaining. The main living area is a great room open to the second story where the eye is drawn upward to massive, exposed-beam valley rafters and purlins 30+ feet above the floor. Beautiful stained concrete floors, pine tongue-and-groove paneled walls, Vermont Castings gas-fired stoves in the master bathroom and dining area, and a large wood burning fireplace in the great room, faced with smooth river rock from Washington State, all reinforce the home's rustic elegance. The master bedroom, with its own fireplace, built-in punee, and classic French doors, is located on the main floor, while two bedrooms, a bath, a media area, and a large office area are upstairs. The full basement includes a large children's play room with its own entrance, a library, and an enormous amount of storage space. The two additional structures on the property are substantial and ideally suited for a family compound or an equestrian center. There is a second "farm dwelling" (guest cottage), which has wonderful views of its own, a full kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and large lanai, all upstairs, with additional versatile space and a 4 car garage downstairs. The 3,215 sq. ft. timber-frame barn includes 3 horse stalls (including a wash stall), tack room, feed room, half bath and large wood working shop with tool room downstairs and a huge office space and bathroom upstairs. Passive solar panels on the barn provide potable hot water for both main house and barn and radiant floor heating for the main house. This is the complete package and a rare find that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. Its located just 15 minutes from Waimea and 30 minutes from the coast and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Waikii Ranch is Hawaii's finest ranch community with extensive riding and walking trails, a clubhouse, tennis court, racquet ball court, workout facility, polo field and rodeo arena. Show more
