🌺 Hale Hokulea - Private Oceanfront Estate on 16 Acres 🌊
Welcome to one of Hawaii’s most secluded luxurious ocean front estates! Our family vacation home is situated on a 16-acre heart of palm plantation along the Scenic Route. As you enter the gated estate, you will feel like you have left the stresses of life behind. The property is surrounded by breathtaking ocean views and open agricultural lands, which create a sense of privacy and seclusion. You will drive down a spectacular driveway and see a beautifully hand crafted cliff top plantation style home, which is completely off grid.
Thanks to the home’s cliffside position on the Hilo side of the island, fresh ocean breezes flow through the property all day and night, keeping the interior cool and comfortable. That’s why we’ve chosen to have ceiling fans and large windows throughout the estate instead of air conditioning—letting you enjoy Hawaii’s natural climate the way it was meant to be.
The estate is 20 minutes from Hilo International Airport, 10 minutes from downtown Hilo, and just 4 miles (about a 10-minute drive) from the closest swimming beach. The world-famous Volcano National Park is also within an hour’s drive of the estate.
