A Luxury Oceanview Estate on the Kohala Coast
Welcome to Kolina at the High Bluffs, a spectacular private residence perched above the 17th fairway of Hapuna Golf Course along Hawaiʻi’s coveted Kohala Coast. Spanning 5,233 square feet, this elegant estate captures sweeping views of the golf course and Pacific Ocean, with a distinctive architectural design that brings the natural beauty of the island into every living space.
At the heart of the home, a koi pond stretches alongside the great room, creating a tranquil focal point that connects the interiors to the surrounding landscape. Retractable glass doors open the main living areas to an expansive lanai, where the fairway slopes toward the ocean and the boundary between indoor and outdoor living seems to disappear. With four ensuite bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, and a lagoon-style pool overlooking the coastline, Kolina at the High Bluffs offers a refined retreat for families and groups seeking privacy, comfort, and the beauty of resort living.
Living Spaces
The expansive great room is designed around the home's signature koi pond, with soaring pitched timber ceilings, generous natural light, and retractable glass doors that open onto the lanai. The result is a seamless connection between the interior living spaces, tranquil water features, and sweeping ocean views.
Thoughtfully arranged gathering areas provide room for both entertaining and relaxation. A dedicated game room with a pool table, a separate entertainment room with deep seating and a screen, and a private enclosed office offer flexibility for every occasion. Whether enjoying a quiet afternoon overlooking the fairway or gathering with family and friends in the evening, the home balances open communal spaces with inviting areas for privacy.

Entertainment & Work Spaces
Designed to accommodate a variety of interests and travel styles, Kolina at the High Bluffs offers several dedicated spaces beyond the main living areas.
The game room centers around a pool table and includes a sleeper sofa for additional guests. A separate entertainment room features deep seating, built-in shelving, and a screen, creating a more intimate setting for movie nights and relaxed evenings indoors. For guests who need a quiet place to work or take calls, a private office with a closing door offers separation from the main gathering spaces.
Together, these thoughtfully arranged rooms allow families and groups to spend time together while enjoying the flexibility of independent activities throughout the home.
