Escape to paradise and enjoy spectacular ocean sunsets, panoramic coastline and Maui views from the privacy of Puako's best lot! Over-sized and extra-wide, this prime property includes an original beach cottage and is home to the good life... Perfect building site for a future beachfront estate with mature landscaping and essential shade coverage already in place. With 117' of beach frontage and 15,499 total sf, this lot is 17' wider and 11% larger than common 14,000 sf Puako lots. The State-owned white-sand beach adds 6,700 sf and is graced with 16 mature coconut palm trees, hammock included. Tucked away in-between world famous Mauna Kea and Mauna Lani Resorts, Puako is a quiet and vibrant beachfront community and the Big Island's best kept secret. No fees, no CC&Rs, no gates, just island living at its very best! And, the Big Island's best white-sand beaches (Hapuna, Waialea Bay, Mauna Kea) are all 1 to 2 miles away. The 1961-built renovated beach cottage has 1-bed, 2-baths and is located in a private portion of Puako with attractive homes on either side, and is far from public access areas —- a huge consideration that enhances the desirable seclusion and value this special property offers. Walking distance to Puako General Store. Puako is the winter playground for the humpback whales and their new-borns, who venture within 100 yards of shore and can be heard from the kitchen! Google the Jupiter Research Foundation to access a live streaming audio feed of the whales that gather just off-shore. Dolphins occasionally come by and put on a show and big sea turtles are abundant... Well known for great diving spots and snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, etc., Puako has its own surf spot at the end of the road. Plus, Puako has its own boat ramp and deep-water Kawaihae Harbor is 5 miles away. With championship golf courses, great restaurants and shopping nearby, Puako is 23 miles away from Kona Int'l Airport. Paradise awaits!
