Perched on over 2 acres in the prestigious Kawela Plantation, this one-of-a-kind custom home offers sweeping ocean and multi-island views in a private, rural setting just minutes from Kaunakakai town. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously built, the home blends refined craftsmanship with the natural beauty of Molokai. Offering over 3,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence features a grand entry with an oversized front door, hand-textured ceilings, and extensive custom woodwork and millwork throughout, highlighted by locally sourced monkeypod and milo wood accents. The open-concept chef’s kitchen, complete with a large pantry, is a true centerpiece and includes a professional range, refrigerator drawers, a built-in bar with wine fridge, and a custom monkeypod bartop, ideal for both daily living and entertaining.

The additional two bedrooms offer flexibility for guest accommodations or can be easily configured as a home office or creative workspace. With access to high-speed internet, the home is well suited for today’s work-from-home professional as well as everyday family needs. Expansive decking extends the living space outdoors, creating the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and take in panoramic views of Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe, and Hawaii Island. From this elevated vantage point, enjoy seasonal whale watching in the channel between Molokai and Lanai, along with the soothing sound of waves breaking on the reef below. Nestled into the hillside for privacy and protection, the home offers a rare balance of elevation for expansive views while remaining close enough to the shoreline to stay connected to the ocean. Split air conditioning units throughout ensure comfort on warm days, while a fully owned photovoltaic solar system with net metering helps keep electricity costs low. The property is designed for easy living, with simple, elegant, low-maintenance landscaping that complements the surrounding environment. Kawela Plantation owners enjoy access to a private oceanfront beach park and over 5,000 acres of shared mountain lands, offering exceptional opportunities for hiking, hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation. This is a rare opportunity to own a custom, high-end residence in one of Molokai’s most sought-after communities. A home where every detail was intentionally designed and carefully executed, offering tranquility, privacy, and a deep connection to the land and ocean.
