One of the largest and most prominent historic estates on Hawaii 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 and Punalu'u Black Sand Beach. The Phala Plantation Managers Residence stands as a legacy property in the heart of Phala, offering over 5,700 sf of turnkey, interior living space, complemented by nearly 1,100 sf of covered three-sided veranda. Two parcels totaling over 16.5 acres of land surround the estate, which also includes detached caretakers quarters and 4-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 hia wood floors, and generously proportioned rooms. The layout is both functional and impressive featuring seven large bedrooms, a library, formal dining room, a butlers pantry/tea room, expansive kitchen, grand foyer/reception, and a central great room anchored by a fireplace. Four and a half bathrooms with 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 Kas heritage while shaping its next chapter.
