Some properties are defined by what has been added over time. This one is defined by what has not. On a South Shore where oceanfront land has been steadily divided and built out for decades, Hale Pi'Li'Lani sits on 0.71 acres of direct lava rock frontage, unchanged. Hale Pi'Li'Lani means House Close to Heaven, and the name is appropriately given. For the first time in 40 years, a rare owner-occupied Poipu Beach home is now available. The residence, built in 1949 of lava rock and masonry, offers single-level living organized in a U-shape around a protected central courtyard. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home includes a great room with a fireplace, a secondary event room with bar and original vintage cabinetry. A basement garage, workshop, and lava rock sauna (not currently operational) complete the property. Interiors have been freshly repainted and hard wood floors professionally refinished. The parcel runs from street to shoreline. Open ocean views, steady trade winds, consistent sunset exposure, and seasonal whales offshore. Sea turtles are a regular presence from the grounds. An ocean-facing front outdoor lanai and a lava rock bench positioned at the water's edge define how the property is lived in. Access is via a private oceanfront easement that follows the coastline to the home. Easy walking distance to Brennecke?s Beach and Po?ipu Beach Park.
