Hawaii
Four-House Waterfront Compound Built Like a Private Resort on Hawaii’s Big Island
Listing of the Day
Location: Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Price: $28 million
Perched above Keauhou Bay on the private and historic Ha’ikaua Peninsula on Hawaii’s Kona Coast, this compound offers four fully renovated and furnished homes, more than 600 feet of waterfront and 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean.
“I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve never seen anything like this—to have 600 linear feet of oceanfront and this much privacy,” said co-listing agent Rob Kildow, of Hualalai Realty.
“The way this is configured you have no beach in front of you, so you have nobody looking in your windows or walking by,” he said. Yet you have three access points down to the water, which is very swimmable because a nearby reef keeps the water calm.

“If you’re looking for a resort lifestyle, 10 minutes down the road is a private golf community with dining and tennis,” Kildow said.
“This is a very special piece of property” due to its association with Hawaiian royalty, including important historical figures like King Kamehameha I and King Kalakaua, he said. In ancient times, Keauhou Bay was a significant cultural and political gathering place for Hawaiian Ali’i (chiefs) and their communities, and the site is where ceremonies, rituals and trade took place.
“The history goes way back,” Kildow said. Only Ali’i were allowed to set foot on Ha’ikaua Point.
Known as Ha’ikaua Point Estate, the 1.3-acre property comprises five contiguous properties acquired over a 10-year period, including the main residence on the point, two oceanfront bungalows and a building with an office, a media room and a four-car garage, according to the listing. A hidden road leads up to the private property.

“The owners had a vision,” said co-listing agent Kurtis Becker, of Hawai’i Global Luxury Group. “The homes were there. They bought them and remodeled all of this and made them into a single village.”
“This was designed and built to be like your own private resort,” he said. All of the materials were locally sourced, and “there was no question about costs,” Kildow said. “The owner told me, ‘My wife didn’t have a budget and she exceeded it.’”
“This place is bulletproof and the ocean views are unbelievable,” he said.
The main house has open-plan living and dining areas downstairs, and the primary bedroom suite takes up all of the upstairs level, Becker said. Every bathroom has an indoor-outdoor shower.

The estate is being sold fully furnished, including the owners’ art collection, according to the listing. The value of the art collection hasn’t been disclosed.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go toward the Jonathan Dale Miller Foundation, which the homeowner and his wife started in 1999 to honor their grandson’s final wish, Kildow said.
The landscaped grounds “have movement to them, with a wonderful flow,” he said. “There is really good energy here.”
“The options are limitless,” he said. “It could be a corporate retreat or a family deal. This has some real underlying meaning and texture and history to it.”

The demolition of Aloha Stadium on Oahu took a big step forward Thursday with the first section of seating pulled down from the steel structure.
Half of the elevated deck-level seating on the stadium’s makai side was severed and toppled backward as part of demolition work that began in February.
The other half of the upper makai-side seating is slated to come down Tuesday, followed by similar sections on the mauka side and both end zones, though the concrete foundations for lower-level end-zone seating are being preserved for a new, smaller stadium to rise on the same site.
A private partnership, Aloha Halawa District Partners, led by local developer Stanford Carr, is replacing the 50,000-seat Aloha Stadium, which opened in 1975 and was shuttered in 2020, with a new stadium featuring up to 31,000 seats.
AHDP is using $350 million of state funding toward the cost of the new stadium, which could be $475 million or more, and will operate and maintain the facility on state land for 30 years with a land lease.
The development team also is to redevelop much of the 98-acre stadium property dominated by parking lots with a new mixed-use community that includes at least 4,100 residences, two hotels, an office tower, retail, entertainment attractions and open spaces expected to be delivered in phases over 25 years and costing close to or more than $5 billion or $6 billion.
Earlier parts of stadium demolition work led by Hawaiian Dredging Construction Co. included removing four covered multistory spiral walkways leading to the upper level from the ground, and concourse bridges.
Demolishing the stadium is projected to be done by August, according to Carr.
Building the new facility is expected to be finished in 2029.

This Airbnb Tiny Home Sits on a Lava Field in Hawaii With Unbeatable Night Sky Views—and It’s a Guest Favorite

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The team behind a popular Hawaii-based home renovation show is now facing legal troubles after airing content that shouldn’t have been released, according to the state.
Hawaii’s Attorney General is now involved after HGTV’s ‘Renovation Aloha’ showed uncensored images of apparent ancient skeletal remains that were discovered at a Hilo property.
In a now-deleted clip on social media, Kamohai and Tristyn Kalama, along with the production team, discovered a cave beneath a Hilo property where they found the remains deep inside.
Video documented their shock when it was found, with the hosts saying, “There’s bones back here. I got to get out of here. Are you fricken serious? I’m serious dude. Is that a skull?”
Tristyn was seen standing further back, saying “This is terrifying. I’m at my stopping point” before leaving.
Hawaii News Now is not showing the bones, but confirmed with HGTV the episode was filmed in December 2025.
Video didn’t show them touching or moving the remains, and HGTV said authorities were notified after the discovery, the property was not developed, and the site was later blessed.
At the time, police said no crime was committed, and the state AG obtained a TRO to prevent the broadcast of the images in accordance with state law.
However this week, uncensored video of the bones was posted online by the Kalamas and HGTV, and included in the episode, triggering a quick rebuke from the community.
“We don’t kaula’i iwi. We do not lay our bones out in the sun to expose him in this manner,” former Oahu Island Burial Council Chair Kumu Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu said.
She also said the release of the images was “extremely disappointing,” saying the damage was already done.
“It is irrelevant that bones were not moved. It is irrelevant that they were not disturbed, per se, because somebody didn’t touch them — but you went into their space and that space becomes kapu space once they have transitioned over to po. And when you do that, we honor that. We don’t disturb them,” Wong-Kalu added.
The AG said they took immediate legal action to prevent the unlawful broadcast of images, pointing to a TRO issued prior to the episode’s release. They also said, “We are aware that the segment aired notwithstanding the court’s order, and we take this matter very seriously. The Department will pursue additional action as necessary.”
Court Documents revealed the Kalamas and producers of the show are now facing four counts for allegedly breaking Iwi Kupuna protection rules.
“If that were our grandparent, would we want them, after they have physically transitioned to po, would we want to share our family in this manner? I don’t think so,” Wong-Kalu added.
HGTV said in a statement, “We take the concerns raised by the community very seriously and are committed to ensuring our programming is respectful and appropriate. We apologize to anyone who found any part of the episode offensive, that was not HGTV’s intention.”
They also confirmed the original episode was removed, and re-edited without the bones included.
Through our communication with the HGTV spokesperson, Hawaii News Now offered the Kalamas a chance to respond directly, but they did not. They did however take to Instagram to address the episode, saying they followed the protocols they knew, and never intended to build there. They stressed their respect for Hawaiian culture and practices.
The investigation remains active.
