A 9,277-square-foot oceanfront estate at Kuki’o Golf and Beach Club is set to sell on May 24 through Concierge Auctions. Bids on the furnished home, which was originally listed for $9.75 million, will begin at $3.995 million, or the property can be purchased prior to auction for $8.195 million.

“Every detail of this home celebrates its location, facilitating outdoor living and the relaxed, informal lifestyle the Islands are known for. Everywhere you turn, there is an effortless transition between the interior and exterior living spaces,” said Carrie Nicholson, principal broker at Kuki’o Properties. “Real estate is all about location, and it doesn’t get any better than Kuki’o."

The residence occupies a prime site on Kukio’s 10-hole, Tom Fazio-designed golf course. Its exterior features include a stucco finish with cedar shake roof and Honduran mahogany detailing. There is an outdoor dining area with a BBQ, a wet bar, an infinity-edge swimming pool and spa and an outdoor shower. Indoors, the stunning master suite features Tigerwood flooring, a mahogany ceiling and its own covered lanai. Additionally there are four guest suites, all with private entrances, five bathrooms, a powder room, a gourmet kitchen and plenty of expansive spaces for entertaining.

“Envisioned by the prestigious Discovery Land Company, whose roster also includes The Estancia Club in Scottsdale, Arizona; El Dorado in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; and Iron Horse in Whitefish, Montana, among many others, Kuki’o is without question one of the most private and refined oceanfront clubs in the world,” said Laura Brady, vice president of marketing for Concierge Auctions. “Those who purchase here are not only buying exquisite real estate but also an unparalleled lifestyle. The opportunity to name the price at auction only sweetens the deal.”

Kona, which means “leeward” in Hawaiian for its location along the sunny west coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Warm all year round, Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, gorgeous sunsets and its inimitable Kona coffee. It is the center of commerce and of the tourist industry in West Hawaii and is served by the Kona International Airport. Kuki’o is the Big Island’s only private equity golf and beach club community. The Club includes a full-service Member’s Clubhouse, extensive spa and fitness facilities, a dining pavilion, beach bar, signature “Outdoor Pursuits Ocean Sports Program” and, in addition to the Fazio short course, an 18-hole championship course.
