96-3209 Maile St Pahala, HI 96777

One of the largest and most prominent historic estates on Hawaiʻi Island is being offered for sale for only the second time in history. With views of the longest undeveloped shoreline of the state, and minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park & Punalu'u Black Sand Beach.
The Pāhala Plantation Manager’s Residence stands as a legacy property in the heart of Pāhala, offering over 5,700 square feet of interior living space, complemented by nearly 1,100 square feet of covered three-sided veranda. Set on 3.42 acres, the estate also includes detached caretaker’s quarters and a four-car carport, providing both scale and flexibility for a range of uses.
Originally designed to host, lead, and gather, the home retains its architectural integrity with soaring 11-foot ceilings, rich ʻōhiʻa wood floors, and generously proportioned rooms. The layout is both functional and impressive, featuring seven large bedrooms, a library, formal dining room, a butler’s pantry/tea room, expansive kitchen, grand foyer/reception, and a central great room anchored by a fireplace. Four and a half bathrooms and extensive built-in storage support both residential comfort and large-scale entertaining.
For those with vision, this is more than a historic residence, it is an opportunity. Positioned in a region experiencing renewed momentum through coffee and macadamia agriculture, the property is well-suited for a range of ventures: a boutique hospitality concept, private retreat, executive compound, or a curated destination that integrates local agriculture, tastings, and community engagement. The expansive veranda naturally lends itself to open-air dining or events, while the scale of the home supports hosting, education, religious and cultural programming.
Properties of this caliber; where history, land, and commercial potential align rarely come to market. This is an opportunity to steward a significant piece of Kaʻū’s heritage while shaping its next chapter with intention and purpose.
