2 Puako Properties Offer a Luxurious Oceanfront Lifestyle on the Big Island

I would say most people who live in Puako are a type of people who are seekers of moments of tropical euphoria. Now that is a odd thing to say, but living in the paradise found in Puako is what many only dream of. What a special small beach community it is!

Living in Puako is truly paradise found

Having moved there in the late 70’s through the mid 80’s, when it was a time warp to an earlier place in time within Hawaii’s more recent history, Puako was precious to have experienced before new development. I know there are more reasons to live in the paradise called Puako than I can list with mere words, because words and photos fall short of capturing Puako’s secret!

Buy or Build a Puako Dream Home?

I want to show you some options. Here is an opportunity to build exactly what you want in Puako! Yes, this blog will show and compare 2 Puako properties. One with a lovely luxury home offered for sale and the other a lot possibly suited to build the new home of your dreams on!

Lets compare:

Priced at $2,600,000, 100 Puako Beach Drive is newly listed and with the common process and procedure for new construction within the oceanfront SMA (special management area guidelines), this could be the location for your dream home (MLS# 257993). (Keep in mind this property has a small old homesite that needs removal).

And then in comparison:

Why Live in Puako?

I have always loved the charm of Puako, tucked away from life’s business, this sleepy village offers a simple lifestyle and yet is so close to the luxurious resorts and lifestyle many enjoy coming home to. It is also without the high maintenance fees associated with other coastal resort subdivisions.

The obvious advantage for Puako is its close location to the shoreline, for those wanting a luxurious oceanfront lifestyle. In comparison to private Kuki’o, a luxury subdivision where your homes are never found this close to the soothing sounds of the tropical blue pacific and shoreline, Puako is a dream come true.

Waking up and swimming at dawn with green sea turtles can be a common place daily activity for you in Puako, or just ‘lanai snorkel,’ grab a drink, and watch the turtles, whales, and dolphins right from the comfort of your armchair!
