About this property

Romantic Cottage, Stunning Ocean Views, Whales are jumping!

James Cottage is a historic home that has been completely restored for our guests to enjoy. Located with in The Historic Puakea Ranch, your bungalow was once home to the paniolos who lived and worked at Puakea 100 years ago.

Ocean views, light filled, airy and surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, your bungalow is private, romantic and very relaxing. Avocados and mangos grow in your front yard. Watch the whales from your lanai with your morning coffee.

Soak on your private hot tub with a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Then rinse off in your detached bath house with ocean views while showering.

Wake up to ocean views, singing birds and the gentle breezes of Kohala, offering some of the freshest air in the world as it travels across 2000 miles of ocean before reaching North Kohala.

We are close to the best beaches, diving and hikes on the island.

Located a convenient 2 miles away from Hawi town with great local restaurants, grocery store with local fish, produce. So many local art galleries, unique shops and endless activities just a few min. away. Don't forget to hike down to black sand beach at Pololu Valley 9 miles north of the ranch. Unmatched purely Hawaiian beauty surrounds you in North Kohala.

Why they chose this property

This is the former Puakea Ranch last owned and operated by Mr. Richard Smart of Parker Ranch. Mr. Yoshi Kawamoto was the Puakea Ranch Foreman like is father and grand father before him. The ranch was purchased in 2002 by a local developer who re zoned the parcel to AG 20 allowing for only one home on this historic property. Through sheer will and determination, we transformed the dilapidated structures and worked with the county of Hawaii Zoning and Planning commission to recognize the homes and put the property on the historic register. A truly special place with 100's of years of people making memories here.

What makes this property unique
