ownership options from fully supported design-build opportunities to move-in ready listings. Phase Two includes some of the property's most coveted lots, ranging in price from $4.25 to $7.5 million. Sheltered by the Mauna Loa volcano, the setting has long been favored by Hawaiians for its temperate climate, gentle breezes, year-round sunshine, and nutrient-rich soil. Each lot comes with its own agricultural easement, and owners have the ability to tap the Hokuli'a Community Association to assist with cultivating, harvesting, and marketing their bounty. Hokuli'a's developer, SunChase Holdings, has enlisted Hawai'i Life — the only statewide, locally owned and operated, full-service brokerage — to lead sales and marketing for the community. "Hokuli'a offers authentic Hawaii living as it was meant to be, away from the island's densely populated resort bubbles. It is a special place with a great sense of community, and the central Kona Coast location encourages exploration of all that Hawaii Island offers," says Carrie Nicholson of Hawai'i Life. e exclusive Club at Hokuli'a is set in a tropical oasis and includes a full-service private clubhouse providing luxurious resort amenities and services across a peaceful, open-air setting. Designed by DeReus Architects, the Club at Hokuli'a consists of nine interconnected pavilions with Polynesian and Pacific Rim-inspired design, incorporating simple, natural elements like the local 'ōhi'a tree. An expansive wellness pavilion provides a tranquil spa with massage facilities, state-of-the-art fitness center, private lounges, a golf pro shop, and open-air yoga pavilion. Outside, a three-lane lap pool, Har-Tru tennis courts, and bocce ball round out the sports center. e Pavilion Restaurant serves both casual fare and fine dining in an alfresco, ocean-view setting, while an outdoor bar offers sweeping views and refreshing cocktails. An abundance of ocean activities are available from the shoreline including snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding. e Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course was masterfully planned to maximize the dramatic ocean views at nearly every tee box and green. Sheltered from the strong winds that affect golf in many other areas of Hawaii, the course enjoys gentle ocean breezes and warm temperatures year-round, and the fairways follow the naturally undulating topography of Hokuli'a's oceanfront locale. Stewardship is both a responsibility and a privilege for the community. e Hokuli'a Parks and Cultural Sites Association aims to preserve and maintain the historic areas surrounding the property and offers activities for residents. Hokuli'a is equipped with its own catchment wells and a photovoltaic system, which provides usable solar power to the Club at Hokulia. As part of its stewardship, the property established Hokuli'a Shoreline Historic Park, which spans 140 oceanfront acres and features a cultural interpretive center, hiking trails, and some of the most significant archaeological sites on Hawaii Island. And if there isn't already plenty of allure to draw homeowners to the region, Hokuli'a is situated near the town of Kailua- Kona, filled with charming shops and great restaurants, and also widely recognized for hosting the annual Kona Coffee Festival, Ironman World Championship, World Cup Blue Marlin Championship, and the world's largest outrigger canoe races. 808.731.4354, hokulia.com ranchandcoast.com @ranchandcoast RANCH & COAST MAGAZINE MARCH 2022 65 Hokuli'a is the Kona Coast's most expansive and private luxury residential community
