This Nearly $17 Million Hawaiʻi “Unicorn Estate” Is a Self-Sustaining Legacy Property With Views Money Can’t Usually Buy

SHARE

Part smart home, part private resort, and part off-grid sanctuary, this newly listed 23-acre Oʻahu estate proves you really can have it all. 

Hidden behind gates and perched high against the dramatic backdrop of the Koʻolau Mountains in Kāneʻohe, the 23-acre property is "a true legacy property” and "a unicorn estate," says listing agent Jason Paulo. 


The custom-designed residence spans more than 5,500 square feet with five bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths. Its whitewashed façade, reminiscent of the Greek Isles, gleams against the emerald rainforest backdrop, heightening the dialogue between architecture and nature. Walls of glass dissolve into panoramic lanais overlooking Kāneʻohe Bay, the Pacific Ocean, and the green cliffs beyond. Resort-style amenities include an infinity-edge pool and spa, a sundeck, and a full outdoor kitchen with a BBQ pavilion—spaces equally suited for large-scale entertaining or quiet reflection. It's "a setting that truly feels worlds away," adds Paulo.

Inside, no detail was spared: Miele appliances anchor the gourmet kitchen, while a 140-inch theater room with wet bar, elevator, and central AC enhance the modern comforts. A three-car garage with a generous parking courtyard ensures ample space for family and guests.

But perhaps the estate’s most remarkable feature is its self-sustaining design. A spring-fed water system, 120-panel photovoltaic array, and six Tesla Powerwalls allow the home to run completely off-grid.

From rainforest trails and calming ponds to sweeping ocean vistas, the estate invites a constant dialogue with nature, where every view and vantage point feels like a meditation on the aloha spirit.

A self-sustaining smart home. A resort-style retreat. Unbroken views to the Pacific. At $16,995,000, it’s a rare value for your own private piece of paradise.
