MLS® # 728210
Featured in Architectural Digest (December 2025) following a comprehensive reimagination, this exceptional Nob Hill residence belongs to a rare collection of Big Island homes recognized for architectural distinction and lifestyle excellence. Rooted in the philosophy of wabi-sabi and refined through Danish design principles, the home balances classical craftsmanship with modern luxury. Warm cedar, natural stone, and thoughtfully curated textures create a timeless aesthetic grounded in intentional living. The upper level is designed for elevated entertaining, anchored by a chef’s kitchen appointed with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, an outdoor pizza oven, and a premium built-in BBQ. Open-concept living spaces flow seamlessly to expansive lanais, creating effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The versatile den offers flexibility as a family room, office, or fifth bedroom. The middle level hosts three ensuite bedrooms, including a serene primary suite that opens to a private covered lanai. An outdoor soaking tub is perfectly positioned to capture sweeping ocean vistas and the iconic slopes of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualālai. On the lowest level, a privately accessed guest suite with full bath and kitchenette provides ideal accommodations for visitors or multigenerational living. Each tier of the home features ocean-facing lanais that frame panoramic sunrise and sunset views across the Pacific horizon. Within a quiet cul-de-sac in Nob Hill, the property offers privacy while remaining moments from town and the Kona-Kohala Coast. Mature landscaping, showcasing a 75yr old magnolia tree and framed by lava rock terraced walls, creates a sense of established Big Island elegance. To be featured by Architectural Digest is to be acknowledged on a global design stage. Editorially celebrated and fully turn-key, this is a rare opportunity to own a design-forward Waimea retreat where architecture, setting, and intentional living converge.
