Certainly one of the most beautiful view lots on all of Nob Hill and most definitely a rare and prime piece of real estate in 2013, this gracious and historic home is perfectly sited on one acre of immaculately manicured and terraced lawns. A truly unique architectural treasure this home was created as the family estate for the R. Penhallow family, the Parker Ranch manager circa late 1940’s, due to the significantly superior views and west facing location. The ‘Ohia log construction brings back the very essence of old Waimea and the "glory days" of farming, ranching and the yesteryear's of Waimea society. Expansive and terraced rock walls meet rolling lawn with old growth Magnolia trees, citrus, bananas, avocado and Formosa Koa. The site was selected over all other possible spots on Nob Hill for protection from the wind and for the unsurpassed views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and even an ocean view (from the upper portion of the property). The home is discretely sited allowing for complete privacy and a dramatic, gated and long drive way approach. Architecturally significant, this is one of R. Redfearn’s (architect) Ohia log and lava rock creations; a classic but rare example of the taste and high style of Waimea's ranch life and destined to retain its stature as it always has but for years yet to come. The interior details include hand hewn ’Ohia logs, authentic lava rock (the real stuff not stamped) and wainscoting of Redwood, built in Koa cabinetry and two wood burning fireplaces. The approx. living space of 3,776 sq. ft., 4 bd./3.5 ba. home is a Waimea treasure only minutes from two college preparatory schools, North Hawaii Community Hospital, the amenities of the Gold Coast resorts and world class beaches. Comparative residential and land offerings indicate the property offers inherit value well beyond like Properties For Sale and or Recent Sales considering the large sq.ft.' and the high quality location and neighborhood. "As Is" Addendum applies.
