Set at the end of a private cul-de-sac in gated Makalei Estates, this single-level 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with a dedicated office rests on 3.13 fully fenced acres transformed into a private garden estate. Terraced lawns, handcrafted rock walls, tropical landscaping, and elevated gathering spaces unfold across the property, all oriented toward the North Kona coastline and sunset.
