Puako’s Ocean Edge Modern Estate

Puako's Ocean Edge Modern Estate
Set directly on the water in Puako, Ocean Edge is a modern architectural estate designed around its relationship with the Pacific. Bay Area architect Curt Cline used expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, open living spaces, and strong indoor-outdoor connections to keep the ocean present throughout the home.

Nearly 70,000 square feet of grounds and undeveloped land bordering the property create an unusual sense of privacy along the Kohala Coast. A 25-meter infinity pool stretches toward the horizon, while more than 3,400 square feet of covered lanai provides generous space for dining, lounging, and outdoor cooking.

Four ensuite bedrooms are arranged across the residence and connected guest wing, which also includes an office, second kitchenette, and additional laundry. A private elevator, ten-seat theater, ping-pong lounge, and bocce court make the home particularly well suited to extended families and multigenerational stays.

FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LEROY COLLECTION
What distinguishes Puako's Ocean Edge for me is how deliberately the architecture is organized around the Pacific. The ocean is not simply a feature of the home; it is part of its DNA. You see it in the walls of glass, the pool aligned toward the horizon, and the way the light moves through the rooms at the beginning and end of each day.

It is also an exceptionally functional home for a group. Four ensuite bedrooms give everyone privacy, while the elevator makes moving luggage, groceries, and younger family members between the garage and main living level remarkably easy. The theater, pool, bocce court, and separate gathering spaces give families room to come together without having to spend every moment together.

And then there is the bay. One of the things I love about this house is how easy it can be to get directly into the ocean. You can carry a kayak from the yard, step in, and be paddling into the bay within minutes. Go out in the late afternoon and watch the sun go down, with the whole bay turning orange around you and the horizon in front of you. It's the kind of experience that is hard to forget.

The photographs capture the design, but not the full scale, privacy, or proximity to the water. Those become clear once you are here.

I hope to welcome you here soon.

PUAKO AND THE KOHALA COAST
Puako offers something increasingly rare on the Kohala Coast: a quiet oceanfront residential community removed from the activity of the major resorts, yet close to many of the coast's best beaches, golf courses, restaurants, and resort amenities.

The community follows a roughly two-mile beach road bordered by the Pacific and historic coastal wetlands. Offshore reefs and tide pools make this part of the coast especially rewarding for snorkeling and exploring the shoreline, while clear nights often provide exceptional stargazing.

Hapuna Beach and the Mauna Kea Resort area are a short drive away, with additional dining, golf, shopping, and beaches throughout the Kohala Coast. Kona International Airport is approximately 30 minutes south, depending on traffic.

GOOD TO KNOW
• During the IRONMAN World Championship on Sat, 10/10/2026, significant road closures and traffic delays are expected throughout the Kona and Kohala areas. Guests traveling during this period should plan accordingly.
• Pool safety fencing is installed as standard and may be removed on request.
• Kayaks are provided at no charge and should be requested in advance of arrival.
• The shoreline directly in front of the property consists primarily of lava shelf and tide pools rather than a sandy swimming beach.
• Exterior security cameras are covered and inactive during guest stays.
• Stays of 14 nights or longer require a mid-stay cleaning.
• A private elevator connects the garage with the main living level.
