The land of Kuka’iau has long played a role with Hawaiian royalty. The Hawaiian chief Palila, a renowned warrior, often retreated here to gather strength and enjoy the towering Ohia forest. On the slopes of Mauna Kea, Kukai’au is where the sun rises from the ocean and native birds sing in the morning mist.

This majestic parcel is located at the foothills of the historic Kuka’iua Ranch, an operating cattle ranch established in the 1800’s. Hawaiian Legacy Hardwood is part of the ranch, a non-profit reforestation group which has planted over five hundred thousand native Koa and Sandalwood trees at Kuka\'iau. Also in the neighborhood is Umikoa village, a plantation era village frozen in time.

The property is improved with a stylish plantation cottage with all the modern conveniences. The open, inclusive design combines the custom kitchen, living room and dining area. It is very comfortable-and in excellent condition. The spacious covered front porch facing the ocean features Ohia poles harvested on the property. The large two car enclosed garage/workshop has additional storage and an extra outside bathroom. There are eighteen photo voltaic panels on the roof. The 46 acres is newly fenced on three sides and gated. Kalapahapu\'u seasonal stream runs along the boundary with several tropical waterfalls. Completely private at the end of the cul-de-sac. The pheasants and turkeys make for good neighbors.

The 2,500 foot elevation allows for sunny days and brisk nights, perfect for roasting marshmallows. Thunder and rainstorms sent from above are occasional visitors, enhancing this divine setting. Not to claim this is Heaven, but you are certainly in the realm.
