What Distinguishes Kohala By The Sea From Neighboring Communities?

Kohala by the Sea residents are active in the community, and for 12 years, Kohala by the Sea has earned national recognition as part of the Firewise Communities program for their efforts to reduce their risk to wildfire. Kohala by the Sea is one of only 33 communities in the entire nation that has maintained this status for more than a decade, and their efforts have garnered accolades and awards from the governor, mayor, county council, and national organizations.

Located just a few miles North of Kohala Coast resorts and Kawaihae with its restaurants, white sand beaches, and harbor, Kohala by the Sea hugs the coastline on the mauka (mountain) side of Akoni Pule Highway. With just 73 house lots in this gated community, neighbors know each other and there is a real sense of pride. This distinguished neighborhood was thoughtfully designed so that nearly every home has incredible ocean views.

Newly Listed

Such is the case with this newly listed home at 59-209 Laninui Drive. Sitting on 1.32 acres, the ocean views are spectacular from this custom built home – and I mean spectacular! To sit on the lanai in the afternoon and watch the whales swim and play in the ocean during the winter is wonderful. The daily sunsets are stunning!

Single Level and Spacious

Because it is single level, the spaces flow together seamlessly, and with 3,124 square feet of living space, there is plenty of room for entertaining. The large kitchen is a chef’s dream with granite countertops, stainless appliances, gas range, and three sinks. From the kitchen it is easy to entertain friends and hold conversations whether they are at the large island, in the dining room, great room, or even out on the large, covered lanai. Given its many extra upgrades and finishes, as well as the excellent condition of the home, this beautiful property is a great value at $1.425 million.
