DescriptionUniquely custom-designed and owned by award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, director and record producer Cher, this spectacular residence on the Kona-Kohala Coast in Kona, Hawaii ideally balances modern sophistication with traditional Balinese style. Situated on a premier three-quarter acre lot in the exclusive community of the Four Seasons Hualalai, the home features expansive views of the Hualalai Golf Course and the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.
A seamless blend of architecture and interior design, the strong, clean lines and calming, natural color palette are a nod to the Asian influence which has been a stronghold in Hawaiian design since the 19th Century. Rich, dark woods are contrasted with elegant fabrics of varying textures and accents of whites, grays, and blues. Each custom art piece and lighting fixture is distinct and substantial. Each accessory has a sense of purpose. The result is an elegant mix of formality, drama, and simplicity.
The main gathering room is grand in size yet inviting in presence and symmetry. The expansive ceiling is inlayed with grass thatching, detailed with substantial mahogany beams, and anchored by two sizable hand-painted Asian pendants. The central sofa grouping is flanked bytwo inset art niches with dramatic hanging “link” sculptures formed from zebra wood, and two wall recesses with mimicking seating vignettes. Sliding glass doors open to blend the space directly with the adjacent lanai and pool/spa.
The master suite offers a true retreat to relax and enjoy the carefree Island lifestyle. Sliding glass pocket doors and windows invite natural light to linger throughout. The glass doors reveal an expansive private lanai, pool, golf, and ocean views – all perfectly positioned to gain the first view upon awakening in the morning. A peaceful reflecting pond amidst a lush private garden is visible along the entire length of the room, continuing the Balinese trend.
Accessible from the center courtyard, the four bungalow suites offer privacy and independence to guests, each with its own bedroom, full bathroom, andoutdoor seating area. Fully-equipped with a complete audio-visual setup, the media bungalow offers plush seating in keeping with the refined design of the residence. An adjacent bar area is perfect for entertaining.
Kona, which means “leeward” in Hawaiian, for its location along the sunnywest coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Warm all year round and embraced by balmy, sweet-scented Pacific Ocean trade winds, Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets and its inimitable Kona coffee. Its La’aloa Beach Park is known as Magic Sands beach — “Magic” because when rough surf hits, all of the sand is emptied off the beach, to magically return soon after.
