There are properties that make an impression immediately. And there are properties that reveal themselves gradually, where the quality of the details becomes more apparent the longer you look.
76-945 Kahako Place is the second kind of home.
Set on just over an acre in the upcountry village of Holualoa, this custom steel-constructed residence spans nearly 3,000 square feet across two levels, with sweeping ocean and sunset views that define what it means to live above the Kona coast. The property is move-in ready, thoughtfully updated throughout, and priced at $1,850,000.
For Buyers exploring Kona real estate beyond the coastline, Kahako Place represents one of the most complete offerings currently active in the upcountry market.
Artisan Finishes Throughout
The craftsmanship at 76-945 Kahako Place is visible from the moment you enter. African mahogany window trim inside and out frames every opening with warmth and richness. A handcrafted mango and steel staircase connects the two levels — a piece that functions as both architecture and art. Cedar and tile lanais extend the living space toward those views. Granite and quartz surfaces run throughout the kitchen and baths.
These are not builder-grade finishes selected from a catalog. They are material choices made deliberately, with an understanding that a home at this elevation and in this setting deserves a level of detail that matches the landscape surrounding it.
Updated for Modern Living
The main level kitchen and baths have been updated with custom cabinetry, new appliances, and LED lighting throughout. The downstairs suite was freshly remodeled in 2026, creating a space that functions equally well as extended family quarters or a private retreat for guests — with a sense of independence and finish quality that elevates it well above a standard secondary bedroom configuration.
The exterior received fresh paint, the lanais were stained, and the lower deck refinished — presenting a home that is genuinely ready for its next chapter without asking Buyers to carry the weight of deferred maintenance.
Solar hot water and LED upgrades add quiet operational efficiency throughout the property.
The Detached Shop: Space for What Matters to You
One of the more distinctive features of this property is the detached shop, fully remodeled in 2023. It is a dedicated space for hobbyists, artisans, woodworkers, collectors, or anyone whose creative or professional pursuits require room that a main residence typically cannot accommodate.
In the upcountry lifestyle, this kind of space is not incidental. It is often the feature that makes a property genuinely livable for the people drawn to Holualoa — where the pace is slower, the air is cooler, and the impulse to build, grow, and create tends to take hold.
Agricultural Designation and What It Opens Up
The just-over-one-acre lot carries an agricultural designation, a meaningful attribute that expands the possibilities for how the land is used. Gardens, orchards, and lush tropical landscaping are all viable within this framework. The designation may also allow for an additional farm dwelling, which Buyers are encouraged to verify directly with Hawaii County.
For Buyers interested in growing their own food, cultivating a tropical garden, or simply holding land with greater flexibility than a standard residential parcel allows, the agricultural designation adds a dimension of utility and long-term optionality that is genuinely valuable.
The Views That Define Holualoa
Every element of this home, its elevation, its orientation, its lanai placement, is organized around the views. Sweeping ocean and sunset vistas extend from the property in a way that makes each evening feel considered rather than accidental. The legendary Kona sunset, visible from the lanais and lower deck, is not a backdrop here. It is a daily event.
