"Where the palm grove ends, the point begins — and the point belongs entirely to the house."
Hand-carved koa doors set into volcanic stone open onto a motor court framed by bromeliad and fern. The house gives nothing away from here — only the mountains behind, and a wall of glass ahead.
A coffered wood ceiling and a stacked-stone fireplace anchor the room; the far wall folds entirely open to the lānai. The marble island has hosted more sunset dinners than formal ones.
The pool and spa sit at the very lip of the point, cantilevered so the water appears to spill into the Pacific beyond it. A private path descends to the tide pools below.
Every figure below describes the property as it stands today — swap in verified numbers before this goes live.
We've stayed at a great many houses on this coast. None of them made us stop talking the way this one did — right at the door.
