Poolside Living on Hawaiʻi Island’s Kona Coast

Listed for $5.5 million, Ka Hala 3 at Kohanaiki combines a private pool and spa, covered outdoor entertaining spaces, and golf course views within a 450-acre private community.

At Kohanaiki on Hawaiʻi Island’s Kona Coast, outdoor living takes center stage at Ka Hala 3, a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence overlooking the sixth fairway of the community’s Rees Jones-designed golf course. Listed for $5.5 million, the fully furnished home brings together contemporary interiors, resort-inspired amenities, and inviting spaces for entertaining.

The residence is organized around an expansive great room that connects the home’s primary gathering spaces with its outdoor amenities. The open layout creates a natural transition between living, dining, and entertaining, allowing the home to accommodate both everyday routines and visits from family and friends. Furnishings by RH (Restoration Hardware) provide a coordinated interior design, making the property a turnkey option for buyers seeking a second home on the Kona Coast.

The gourmet kitchen is designed to accommodate entertaining, with generous bar seating and premium appliances from Wolf and Sub-Zero. Its connection to the great room keeps the kitchen integrated with the home’s social spaces, while the adjoining outdoor areas provide additional room for guests to gather.

The home’s expansive great room opens directly to a covered lanai, extending the main living area outdoors. Here, a private swimming pool and spa anchor the setting, offering opportunities for swimming, relaxation, and informal entertaining throughout the year. The pool area serves as a natural extension of the home, with the covered lanai providing a comfortable place to gather between time spent indoors and beside the water.

Positioned along the golf course, the residence enjoys a setting that reinforces its connection to the surrounding landscape. The combination of pool, spa, and covered outdoor living space gives residents several ways to enjoy the island climate, whether relaxing beside the water, hosting an afternoon gathering, or spending a quiet evening outdoors.

A detached ʻohana above the garage adds another dimension to the property’s flexibility. The separate accommodations can serve visiting family and friends or provide a private retreat, complementing the main residence’s gathering spaces while offering guests greater independence.

Outdoor Recreation Beyond the Backyard

The home’s private pool and spa are just one part of the outdoor lifestyle available at Kohanaiki. Spanning 450 acres along the Kona Coast, the private residential community offers members and their guests an extensive collection of recreational amenities, with an emphasis on golf, wellness, dining, and oceanfront experiences.

At the center of the community is an 18-hole golf course designed by Rees Jones, while a private members’ beach provides opportunities to enjoy the island’s coastal setting. A spa and fitness center complement the outdoor activities, and dining options range from casual poolside fare to fine dining.

The community’s relaxed atmosphere and focus on personal service add to its residential appeal, creating a setting where recreation and social gatherings are part of everyday life.

Ka Hala 3 is located within Kohanaiki’s newest residential neighborhood, which will feature 24 townhomes in its first phase and 18 additional residences in the second. Homes are offered with furniture packages from RH or Coco Republic, providing a furnished option for buyers seeking a second home or island retreat.

With its private pool, spa, covered lanai, and golf course setting, Ka Hala 3 captures the appeal of year-round outdoor living on Hawaiʻi Island. The residence offers the privacy of a personal retreat alongside the recreational and social experiences available within Kohanaiki.
