Be open to the discovery of Pu’u Lani nestled in the side of Diamond Head on the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. Located in one of Honolulu’s most prestigious neighborhoods and designed by award winning architect Daniel Moran, it is only a short walk away from Waikiki’s surfing spots, beaches and nightlife

Enter this striking estate home on nearly three quarters of an acre of ground through ancient Balinese doors and under a trellis covered with island flowers. Cross a pond with flowing water and waterfalls. Discover the peaceful perfumed courtyard hidden behind volcanic rock walls. Moss covered stone statutes peak out from under mature trees and between tropical flowers. Balinese carvings lead you toward the front door.

The grounds are professionally landscaped for privacy and tranquility and are filled with scented plumeria trees, ginger, and gardenias. A seasonal stream is bounded by monstera, tree ferns, monkeypod and ti while the large lawn area provides space for games of badminton, croquet and bocce. A sparkling solar-heated salt water lap pool framed with swaying coconut palms provides a place to play, exercise or sun bath. Close by, shady covered lanais give you a magical spot to share a glass of wine, an outdoor meal or just read.

Four pavilions make up the compound, each with a Hawaiian-style split pitched roof , copper gutters, Japanese rain chains and a surround of river rock. All pavilions are grounded in the tropical setting and are able to be opened to the beauty of the climate and greenery of Hawaii.

The main pavilion has walls of disappearing glass that open the space to gentle sea breezes, the pool and garden, Diamond Head mountain and the downtown skyline. Boundaries between the beautiful interior and the lush exterior dissolve. Covered lanais on each side of the living room allow for large gatherings and parties. The nearby dining room further enlarges the space and provides a view of towering palms, old trees and a large bronze lion that overlooks the many dinner parties. The kitchen has dual Thermador ovens, a Viking six burner gas stove, a Sub-Zero side-by side refrigerator, a wine refrigerator, a walk in pantry, granite counter tops and custom cabinetry. In the corner, a built-in leather banquette and slab teak table give you a place for casual dining, grabbing a quick cup of coffee or keeping the cook company. One wall of the kitchen opens completely to a large lanai with its own outdoor dining and cooking facilities.

The master suite is also in the main pavilion and overlooks the gardens and pond. At night the sound of water tumbling over rocks gently lulls you to sleep. The suite’s covered lanai is perfect for reading, napping, or having a light meal. In the master bath, a hand carved stone double sink and walk-in shower look out on a private walled outdoor shower and garden with orchids, ferns and tiare gardenias. In the bathroom, there is also a large tub and a 19th century built-in Tansu chest to provide storage. A walk-in closet and a laundry/ exercise room complete this space.

The pavilion also contains another bedroom and bath with its own separate entry way and a powder room for your guests’ use.

The guesthouse pavilion looks over the pool and garden and has a kitchen, dining area, plentiful storage and a comfortable bedroom to welcome visitors and family. This pavilion has its own bathroom opening to a private walled garden with shower.

The library/media pavilion is a multipurpose space. The built-in desk, bookcases and drawers make it perfect for an office, but the large room also has raised seating and sofas for viewing films and television. A wet bar provides easy snacks and the bathroom is accessed via a covered walkway.

The fourth pavilion contains the large three-car garage with its separate workshop and much of the equipment that makes this home green. On the roof there are photovoltaic cells that provide part of the estate’s electrical needs. Hot water is produced through solar energy and solar climate controls are located in all of the pavilions roofs. The interior spaces have air conditioning but regular trade winds make its use rare.

Offered at $6,680,000.
