About this property
Magnificent Mauna Kea Home With Stunning Views
This 7,768 square foot home was designed by Hawaiian architect Thomas Bingham (a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright) for indoor/outdoor living and entertainment. It has 5 bedrooms, each with a private bath, the master suite enjoying complete privacy on its own floor. The lanai cantilevers out over the saltwater pool and lower level terrace offering breathtaking views of the golf course and ocean with dramatic nightly sunsets. For cooks there is an outdoor gas BBQ and wet bar, gourmet kitchen with 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers and ice maker. (For non-cooks there are several restaurants within minutes of the house.) The home is within the private gates of the Mauna Kea Resort and residential guests can access all amenities at the Mauna Kea and Hapuna Resorts by registering with the Mauna Kea and paying a daily fee.

About the area
Kamuela
Located in Kamuela, this holiday home is next to a golf course and near the beach. While the natural beauty of Mauna Kea Beach and Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Mauna Lani Resort Golf Course.
Travelling with kids? Consider Manta Ray Point and Pua Mau Place Botanic & Sculpture Garden. Scuba diving and snorkelling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and ecotours nearby.
