Voting is still open: will this architecturally distinctive home on an oceanfront parcel in North Kohala, Hawai'i win WSJ House of the Week?
The word "ohana" means extended family in Hawai'ian, and an "ohana" is a cottage or wing of a house that on the mainland would probably be referred to as a "mother-in-law apartment".
That seems like a funny description for an elegant 3000 sq ft home designed by Seattle architect James Cutler with commanding ocean views and swimming pool ...except that the property available with the house consists of three parcels with a total of over 70 acres. One of those parcels is a direct oceanfront gem, where the Sellers have done substantial work for a permit to build a main house. That's why this architecturally distinctive home in the Niuli'i area past Kapaau in North Kohala is considered the "ohana".
In fact, there are three ways to approach the property for sale associated with this Wall Street Journal "House of the Day" if you are--or represent--a prospective buyer who wants a home in what I sometimes think of as the most beautiful spot on the Big Island, if not on the planet!
The architectural award-winning house together with 72.71 acres is offered for $9,650,000 (MLS 229636).
The Cutler Ohana House with the 24.5 acre parcel on which it sits is offered for $5,300.000 (MLS 240580).
The two unbuilt parcels totally almost 50 acres are offered for $4,400,000 (MLS 240600).
[NOTE: These are not my listings, so I am unencumbered for representing a potential buyer or buyers.]
If you haven't yet voted for the Wall Street Journal's House of the Week, consider voting for the architecturally distinctive "Ohana House" in North Kohala, Hawai'i. It is not often my little rural neighborhood gets this kind of national publicity!
A hui hou,
Beth
