Perched on a prominent tier of land in the exclusive Kohanaiki, a private equity golf club and community, this one-acre estate offers commanding ocean views. Rich teak hardwoods grace the interior, from the beamed ceilings to custom cabinetry to artful screens that enable gentle trade winds to flow. This turnkey escape features bespoke furniture designed and crafted specifically for this villa by Douglas Durkin of Douglas Durkin Design in San Francisco. Known for their very customized approach to residential design, Durkin drew inspiration from traditional Kapa Cloths of the indigenous Hawaiian culture and the Tapa cloth patterns of Pacific cultures, combining the patterns and motifs into a one-of-a-kind collection of custom furnishings found throughout the residence. Surrounded by lush, tropical flora, the pocketed, sliding glass doors grant unobstructed access to a spectacular outdoor living space. Enjoy covered lanais that span 1,500-plus square feet, flow seamlessly from the great room to two serene master sanctuaries, and offer unimpeded views of the Kona coastline.
