KONA SUNSHINE ESTATES - the original premier Kona community of unique custom homes on large lots is enjoying a popular rediscovery. This home has pathways meandering through secret gardens filled with mature flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees. The structure was built in 1970 although Hawaii County Tax Records show an effective date of 2005. This home's magical ambiance developed over the years.

EXCEPTIONAL FEATURES of the structure itself combine to give the Hawaiiana charm. The separate living pods all have tall open beam ceilings. Hand-crafted windows filled with bamboo glass.slide back on wooden tracks to create large, screened openings that capture breezes. In the main living area, 3 big sliding glass doors onto the lanai provide a magnificent ocean views and passage from indoor to outdoor living areas.
