Waiki'i Ranch, Estate of the Day
Today's home is an interesting case of a style of architecture in a different place. We usually see massive log cabins in Wyoming or Montana but Waiki'i Ranch is in Kamuela, Hawaii. The 53-acre working ranch includes a four-bedroom main house, a one-bedroom guest cottage and a seven stall stable. There is also a riding arena and a tractor barn. The main house is constructed of massive cedar logs, hand selected from the forests of Canada. Not a single nail was used in the joining of the logs. The house was constructed initially in Canada then deconstructed and recreated in Hawaii log by log with precise joinery, chiseled by hand for a perfect fit. The ranch has 360 degree views of the ocean all the way down the Gold Coast north and south with views of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and the mountains of North Kohala but inside you'd think you were tucked into a Big Sky hideaway . This property is listed at $18.5 million.

Where's the beach???
OK, I can understand (but not really) that not everyone wants beach frontage in Hawaii and there are those who may even prefer an equestrian paradise instead. But I don't even see a pool. Or pond. Or water feature.
$18M in Hawaii and NO POOL? That's criminal!
Otherwise, it's a stunning property.......just needs a pool.

I love wood.
I love chintz (small amounts)
I love stone.
My eyeballs almost bled at the amount of "stuff" they had to deal with here. There are some parts of this house that are divine. But oh my, what a melange.
Gotta agree with DJ - I want water in Hawaii. Not being horsey by nature, and obviously having squillions of dollars if I am buying this play, I would get rid of the horse ring and turn it into a massive place for my kids to play - including pool. Nanny can live in the cottage and that's my kids taken care of all day. That would leave me enough time to redecorate and "tone down" some of the patterns.
