Nestled in the tranquil paradise of Hā‘ena, this coastal sanctuary spans 8.3 acres across three connected parcels. With roughly 400 feet of pristine ocean frontage along Limahuli Beach, the property remains a rare gem in an area largely untouched by overdevelopment—where the sound of ancient tides still reigns supreme.

The main residence, built in 1970, offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, complemented by a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest cottage. During Roberts’ ownership, the estate underwent a tasteful architectural renovation by San Francisco-based Walker Warner.

Expansive glass walls blur the line between indoors and out, showcasing breathtaking ocean views at every turn. Modern solar panels were installed to minimize utility dependence, reflecting a thoughtful approach to sustainability.
