Skip the Stairs
If you’ve been home shopping anywhere on Hawaii Loa Ridge, you’ve doubtless learned that the neighborhood’s restrictions against cantilevered homes has yielded both intended (i.e., a residential neighborhood that adheres tightly to Hawaii’s natural topography) and unintended (i.e., stairs, stairs, and more stairs) results. The unique placement of this 14,548 sqr ft, rim & flag lot positioned it perfectly to hold something very hard to find here: a huge 5,100 sqr ft luxury home that has only 2 floors. To reach this size, many Ridge homes have been built into the hillside as 3-story, sloped, walk-downs without the possibility of elevators. Not here. This home’s ground floor houses deep and wide, interconnected areas for the activities of daily living, virtually all on one level. The upper floor is reserved for bedrooms.

The Primary Suite
Located in the back of the home, overlooking the ocean, the primary (owners) suite is expansive, lofty, and just pretty darned sweet. In fact, rumor has it that you don’t even need binoculars to watch the humpback whale migration from the primary owners suite’s lanai or from its Jacuzzi® jetted bathtub. Is the rumor true? Probably. Either way, it’s a rumor and that’s good enough for us.
Features
- Kempas hardwood flooring
- Central AC
- Ceiling fan
- Private lanai
- Private bath, incl.:
- Shower room with 5-way water delivery
- Jacuzzi® jetted tub
- Dual vanities + makeup counter
- WC with bidet-enabled seat
- Walk-in closet
- Seating/dressing areas
- Primary direction of view: South-southeast
- Location: Top Floor
- Approx. 1,049 sq ft [incl. lanai, bath, WC, and walk-in]
Bedroom #2
Bedroom #2 is the smallest of the 4 bedrooms. It is also the only bedroom that is not attached directly to a bathroom. Still, it is the most traditional bedroom with just one standard window and the least daylight exposure so it’s a dream for anyone who benefits from less light and noise distruptions when sleeping.
Features
- Kempas hardwood flooring
- Central AC
- Standard step-in closet
- Primary direction of view: n/a
- Location: Top Floor
- Approx. 194 sq ft [plus additional step-in closet]
Bedroom #3
This front-of-house bedroom is exactly what you’d think it is, a bedroom. Styled cohesively like the rest of the house, bedroom #3 gets the last of each day’s sunlight. It has a private door to bathroom #2, which it shares as an upstairs guest bath.
Features
- Kempas hardwood flooring
- Central AC
- Standard step-in closet
- Private door to upstairs guest bath
- Primary direction of view: Northwest
- Location: Top Floor
- Approx. 208 sq ft [plus additional step-in closet]
Secondary Suite
Looking for a home with 2 owners suites? This is it. The secondary suite is located on the northeast corner of the home and is therefore protected from the direct southern and western sun. It is just a third the size of the primary owners suite (including bath and walk-in closet) so it is much quicker to navigate if you prefer things a bit closer at hand.
Features
- Kempas hardwood flooring
- Central AC
- Walk-in closet
- Private full bath
- Primary direction of view: North & East
- Location: Top Floor
- Approx. 338 sq ft [incl. full bath & walk-in]

In The Details
full color, full size images are visible in the hd gallery below
Touch of Class
Before you’ve entered two feet into this home, you’ll come face-to-face with eye-popping craftsmanship like this inlaid mosaic entry tile. Stunning.
#Amirite?
Touch of Glass
Look up. Illuminating the entry and its mosaic is this chandelier. Chandeliers like this are one of very few home finishes that have never gone out of style since they first appeared in the 16th century.
Tradition Abounds
Despite its modern conveniences and Hawaiian in/outdoor flow, you’ll find a HUGE scoop of traditional style designed into this home in a neo-classical fusion, for instance, the stair rail.
The Total package
The full suite of stainless appliances includes all of the standards plus this warming drawer. You’ll know the names of heavy hitters like Viking®, SubZero®, Bosch®, and more.
This is cool
Have you seen trendy black slate pool decks? Uh … burn much?!?!? Cool, textured (i.e., slip-resistant), classic flagstone remains one of the smartest, longest lasting pool deck choices.
Cookin' with gas
Hawaii isn’t the natural gas capital of anything, after all, we don’t need to heat our houses. Thankfully, this home is plumbed with propane so you can still cook like a pro here.
Tiki Torches
And, since you’ve got propane, you’ve also got tiki torches to illuminate and add ambiance to your ocean view pool deck. [Music cue: Even the Nights are Better by Air Supply]
Massage therapy
Need a hot, bubbly spa treatment with an ocean view? Pop into your 8-person poolside hot tub. Want it with extra privacy? The owners suite’s Jacuzzi® tub is just the ticket. Best view in the house.
modernity
Milgard® vinyl windows are energy efficient, double paned, and seem to last forever compared to the aluminum windows of Hawaiian days past. We found these very easy to open and close securely.
Fine Fixtures
Certain brands are synonymous with luxury homes and Grohe® is one of them. This faucet is German-built precision with a classic style.
A place for all
When your HUGE kitchen is backup by a pantry that is a room of its own (~62 sq ft), if you run out of space to put things … even the great Ms. Stewart will doubtless take a knee in your presence.
Climate Control
New to Hawaii? You’ll love the ease of this home’s central AC. When you’ve acclimated and don’t need AC anymore, you’ll still love it a few days a year when the trade winds take short breaks in the summer.
Norm Rockwell who?
Formal and holiday dinners will take on a warm alabaster glow like we’ve only experienced in the fine manor houses of England. 20th century Americana – eat your heart out!
#BeOurGuest
Solid as a Rock
Granite counters to be sure. Full of beautiful movement, these remind us of Pergaminho granite from Brazil. Extending it as a backsplash is a smart, unifying design choice. The eased edge is both modern and lovely.
Pasta Arm
Another benefit of a granite backsplash is the way it affords the installation of a pot-filler above the gas stove. Luxury is oft defined by simple, beautiful convenience, is it not? Not a fan of pasta? Fill your watering can here.
Raise a glass
The wet bar off of the formal dining area is ready to be stocked with your favorite beverages held perfectly at temperature in two, new, under-cabinet Vinotemp® refrigerators.
safety first!
The Pointe is an electronic-gated community inside a guard-gated community. Do things get safer? Is it any wonder that this place gets an A+ for safety from CrimeGrade.org?
Pool House
Looking for an extra FULL bathroom? Look no further than the pool deck where the pool house is a room place to tidy yourself up before AND after a dip.
Heavenly Light
Light up the night with landscape lighting in all of the numerous garden beds. Uplights into the pool deck’s palms create a dramatic and iconically-tropical canopy for your outdoor gatherings.

The pinnacle without the climb
“Hawaii Loa Ridge houses are beautiful but when we were shopping for one, this one stood out for one reason – living on one level. Essentially every similarly priced, similarly place Ridge home has all of the modern conveniences and a great view. But wow are there a lot of stairs. I mean, I like stairs as much as the next guy but when I saw this house, with all of the living space on essentially one level, I was sold. Years of living here have only served to reinforce my initial decision. It’s why I refer to this place as ‘The pinnacle without the climb.’ I still have all of best of Hawaii Loa living and can save my energy for golf.”
~ Mike R., home seller
