A Reimagined Oceanfront Estate at Puako Bay
Welcome to 4BD Estate Home at Puako Bay, a private oceanfront estate reintroduced in 2026 following an extensive transformation of its outdoor spaces. Set along one of the Kohala Coast’s most distinctive residential communities, this four-bedroom retreat combines the character of a classic Puako home with a newly realized resort-style outdoor experience.
The centerpiece is a brand-new saltwater infinity pool overlooking the Pacific, surrounded by refreshed tropical landscaping and multiple spaces for dining, lounging, and gathering. A fully equipped Viking outdoor kitchen, Restoration Hardware lanai furnishings, upper and lower dining areas, a new outdoor powder room, and an outdoor shower transform the grounds into a seamless extension of the home.
Inside, the 3,453-square-foot estate retains the qualities that have long distinguished it: handcrafted hardwood details, vaulted ceilings, generous lanais, and ocean views framed by mature tropical landscaping and a remarkable banyan tree. The three-bedroom main residence is complemented by a private one-bedroom ocean-facing guest suite with its own kitchen, entrance, laundry, and lanai.
The result is a home that feels unmistakably Puako while offering a completely reimagined outdoor living environment, where the pool, kitchen, dining areas, and lanais come together as one expansive setting for island living.
Living Spaces
Inside, warm hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and ocean-facing windows give the home a relaxed island character while keeping the Pacific in view from nearly every angle.
Two generous seating areas provide ample space for gathering without crowding, while the indoor dining table comfortably seats eight. A long granite bar connects the living room to the kitchen, creating an open, social environment where guests can prepare meals, enjoy drinks, or unwind after a day exploring the coast.
The living areas open naturally onto the wraparound lanai, extending the home's living space toward the ocean and creating an effortless connection between indoors and out.
Smart TVs, Sonos audio, and high-speed Wi-Fi provide entertainment and connectivity throughout the residence.
Sleeping Accommodations | Up to 8 Guests
The estate offers four beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each designed for privacy and comfort, with the primary suite enjoying an especially strong connection to the ocean and newly enhanced outdoor spaces.
• Oceanfront Primary Suite
The serene primary suite features a king bed, ocean views, soaking tub, double vanity, separate tiled shower, walk-in closet, and an expanded private lanai. A new stairway leads directly from the lanai to the lawn and pool area, creating a private connection between the suite and the oceanfront grounds.
• Guest Suite
This ocean-facing suite features a king bed, ensuite bathroom with double sinks and glass shower, and beautiful coastal views.
• Garden & Ocean Guest Suite
Furnished with two twin beds, this suite offers an ensuite bathroom, garden and ocean views, and direct lanai access.
• Private Ocean-Facing Guest Suite
Located separately from the main residence, this private suite features a queen bed, ensuite bathroom, private kitchen and breakfast bar, Smart TV, washer and dryer, private entrance, and furnished lanai.
Gourmet Kitchen & Outdoor Cooking
The main kitchen combines granite countertops with Viking appliances, a gas range, and a breakfast bar with seating for six. Positioned so the cook faces the ocean, the kitchen makes even everyday meal preparation part of the island experience.
The newly expanded outdoor kitchen takes entertaining a step further, featuring a Viking gas BBQ, side burner, and two-drawer refrigerator. Guests can prepare meals, serve drinks, and enjoy the majority of the day outdoors without having to leave the pool and lanai areas.
Dining options are equally flexible, with spaces on both levels of the home. Guests can enjoy breakfast beneath the shade of the upper lanai, dine in the garden setting of the lower terrace, gather around the indoor dining table, or settle in for an evening meal overlooking the Pacific.
Pool, Lanais & Oceanfront Living
The new saltwater infinity pool is the centerpiece of the estate and represents the most significant part of the home's 2026 transformation.
Set against freshly landscaped grounds and overlooking the Pacific, the pool is surrounded by Restoration Hardware furnishings and multiple places to lounge, dine, and gather throughout the day. From morning coffee beneath the mature banyan tree to lunch beside the pool and sunset cocktails overlooking Puako Bay, the outdoor spaces are designed to accommodate every rhythm of island living.
A new outdoor powder room serves the pool and entertaining areas, while an adjacent outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off after time in the ocean.
The expanded primary-suite lanai now connects directly to the lawn through a new private stairway, creating an especially seamless relationship between the bedroom, pool, garden, and ocean beyond.
The shoreline lies just beyond the lawn, offering access to Puako's natural reef, lava coastline, tide pools, and coastal waters when conditions permit. Guests can explore the surrounding waters with the provided beach equipment or simply remain at home and watch the sunset from the pool or lanai.

Location
Puako is one of the Kohala Coast's most distinctive residential communities, offering a quieter alternative to the island's major resort enclaves while remaining close to many of Hawaiʻi Island's best beaches, restaurants, golf courses, and outdoor experiences.
The coastline surrounding Puako is characterized by lava shelves, coral reefs, tide pools, and intimate beach access points, making the area particularly rewarding for snorkeling, shoreline exploration, and watching marine life when ocean conditions permit. During the winter months, seasonal whale watching can also be enjoyed directly from the property.
Some of the Kohala Coast's most celebrated sandy beaches and resort amenities are only a short drive away. Waimea is approximately 20 minutes inland, offering farmers markets, ranch-country restaurants, and a cooler upland atmosphere. North Kohala and Hawi are also within easy reach for galleries, local shops, restaurants, and scenic day trips farther north.
The true appeal of Puako is the balance between access and seclusion. After a day exploring the island, guests return to a quiet residential community where the pace slows considerably by evening.
4BD Estate Home at Puako Bay has been transformed for a new chapter of oceanfront living. The new infinity pool, expanded lanais, outdoor kitchen, multiple dining areas, and direct connection between the primary suite and grounds allow more of the stay to unfold outdoors, while the estate retains the mature landscaping, privacy, and unmistakable character that make Puako so special.
