About 81-853 Makahiki Ln
A beautiful South Kona sanctuary, 81-853 Makahiki Lane is the one. Set upon five private acres above the blue waters of Kealakekua Bay, this extraordinary Captain Cook estate enjoys unobstructed, panoramic ocean views that stretch endlessly to the horizon.
Perfectly positioned at the end of the prestigious and secluded Makahiki Lane, the residence is enveloped by lush, producing coffee trees and a tapestry of tropical fruits. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and flow, all bedrooms are located on the main level, each oriented to frame the ocean views. A light-filled upstairs office provides a peaceful retreat for creative work or quiet reflection, opening to sweeping coastal vistas.
Outdoors, a covered lanai and ocean-facing pool invite year-round enjoyment of Kona’s vivid sunsets. The landscape thrives with mature, irrigated coffee and an exceptional variety of fruit trees — mango, avocado, lemon, lime, tangerine, banana, grapefruit, lychee, lilikoi, coconut, and more — creating an atmosphere of abundance and privacy.
Sustainability meets sophistication with 29 owned photovoltaic panels with net metering, county water service, and level 2 electric charger for your vehicle. Additionally, there is a 10KW battery backup system.
A separate building and workshop offer versatility for creative, agricultural, or hobby pursuits. From this home, you can see the historical Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau, listen for whales offshore, and explore nearby snorkeling, paddle boarding, and ocean adventures. A private access leads to the Ka‘awaloa Trail and Captain Cook Monument, one of Hawai‘i’s most celebrated underwater destinations.
81-853 Makahiki Lane is more than an estate — it is a rare convergence of privacy, beauty, and connection to the land and sea, offering an unparalleled expression of Big Island living along the coveted South Kona coastline.
