The Paiko Retreat stands as a true Architectural Masterpiece after a comprehensive restoration. Sitting on over an acre of mature landscaping, Kanewai Spring, waterfalls, and koi ponds, there’s no place quite like this home. A unique estate designed by John Hara in 1983, Hara brings an intentional, open-air feeling to this home like he built at the Honolulu Museum of Art, UH West Oahu, and Punahou School. Spanning 9,295 square feet, the interior is vast, yet warm and deliberate. A dedicated primary wing and private sitting room tucked away from the main entertaining areas, plus four guest bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath and connected by a custom glass elevator. A media room, family room, and private offices provide space for everyone. The transition to the sweeping lanais is seamless. The grounds carry the calm of a private Japanese resort, with gardens and water features weaving through the property. You have direct frontage on Kanewai Spring feeding into Historic Paiko Lagoon. Because it’s a state wildlife sanctuary, the view is strictly nature—quiet and serene. Evenings here are best spent on the lanai watching shorebirds wade through the shallow waters.
