Many of today’s most coveted residences are tucked away in gated private club communities across the U.S., from Northern California to South Florida. Epitomizing this trend is a serene $23.5 million estate within Kohanaiki, an exclusive 450-acre enclave on the Big Island of Hawaii‘s Kona Coast. If it fetches its asking price, the property will set a new benchmark for the community, surpassing the $23 million record set just this past December.

Designed by Shay Zak of Zak Architecture, the oceanview estate is named Hale Kai Apo, which means “home of the changing tides.” Six bedrooms and five full bathrooms are spread across 6,670 square feet, which come fully furnished by Averylily, a local interior design studio. Along with an indoor-outdoor great room that spills out to an infinity-edge pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, homeowners also have access to Kohanaiki’s 67,000-square-foot clubhouse that’s chock-full of state-of-the-art amenities.

A stone walkway leads to a large wooden door that swings open to an airy great room. Sunlight seamlessly highlights the living, dining, and kitchen areas, all set beneath a wood-paneled cathedral ceiling with recessed lighting. A long quartzite island provides breakfast bar seating for six opposite moody black cabinetry and a discrete butler’s pantry packed with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances.

The primary bedroom mirrors five-star resort-style accommodations with an outdoor shower and soaking tub. Five other light-filled bedrooms span the residence, in addition to an office. 

Glass pocket doors slide open to generous large lanais on either side of the great room, affording unobstructed views of the one-acre home’s palm tree-laced grounds and infinity pool as well as unobstructed ocean and coastline views over the rolling greens of the golf course. One side includes alfresco dining and lounging areas near a built-in barbecue grill. A second pool stretches out along the side of the residence with lengthy dimensions that make it suitable for swimming laps.

Kohanaiki’s gargantuan clubhouse is a recreation and leisure hotspot for playing rounds of golf on the Rees Jones-designed golf course, bowling, hitting the gym, or enjoying a full slate of spa services. Kohanaiki Realty holds the listing for Hale Kai Apo.
