This is a unique property brimming with history and charm. You won’t find another place like it in Hawai’i - or perhaps the world. The house has been lovingly maintained to preserve its cultural and architectural integrity. The site is safe and rural yet only five minutes from Waimea.Sunrises from the lanai were breathtaking. When the sky was clear, we had stunning views of Mauna Kea. Misty mornings offered their own enchantment, as shape-shifting clouds drifted down from Kohala Mountain.We kept commenting on how much the property reminded us of The Shire from The Lord of the Rings. Lush meadows and majestic, old-growth trees with long, sprawling branches flourish. The green slopes surrounding Pu’u Menehune provide a soothing contrast to the dry, rocky landscapes visible in the distance.Via a short walk down a mowed path, we reached the forest and found the pond with a natural waterfall - perpetually fed by the mountain. We eagerly waded through the pond and relaxed under the waterfall while the afternoon sun shined through the clouds.We enjoyed native ōhiʻa lehua trees flowering near the lanai and songbirds serenading from those trees. Likewise, we were greeted by pheasant, turkey, and spurfowl as we drove Haloa Road on our way to/from the house. With patience, we also observed Hawai’i’s endemic hawk: the ‘Io flying over the meadows, the woods, and the house itself.Pu’u Menehune is a magnificent, magical place, and we absolutely did not want to leave!
