Description

This prestigious Nob Hill address, known as 'The Big House on the Hill,' has been home to many Waimea families since its construction in 1988. Now, it represents an unparalleled opportunity at the pinnacle of Waimea Town, offering exceptional value & potential. Since acquiring the property in 2022, the sellers have invested approx. $1 million in enhancements. The 41,510 SF lot alone is valued over a million dollars. The property has breathtaking views of the Gold Coast, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai, and Maui, and is located just 5 minutes from two Presidential award-winning college prep schools. Securely gated and surrounded by a new hand-built rock wall, this estate offers privacy and security for pets & residents. This is your chance to embrace an enviable lifestyle within a supportive small community on the Big Island and to complete an abruptly halted renovations that were paused due to an unexpected return to the mainland for health reasons, but the sellers have already infused their vision and talent into costly upgrades, leaving ample room for you to tailor the home to your personal preferences. Recent upgrades include AC, heating, dehumidification system, water purification, upgraded electrical and plumbing, expansive lighting, a commercial-sized laundry room, & a doubled kitchen with a large walkthrough pantry. Two new fireplaces have been added, bringing the total to 5, all-gas powered. The great room & principal bath suite have also been enlarged. Top of the line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, along with three commercial-grade Miele dishwashers, 4 new washers and dryers, electric window coverings, & a brand-new sports court for pickleball. The roof has been restored & a foyer added with new basalt stairs leading to the entrance. This home is being sold AS-IS in its current condition. Furniture included with an acceptable offer (sellers personal items excluded). We welcome you to bring inspectors, architects, & contractors to realize its full potential.
