5 Standout Hawaii Properties with Panoramic Oceanfront Views

Set on Farm/Ranch land in Hakalau, this 33.5-acre holding spans lots 1–3 and opens to unobstructed panoramic ocean views, with Maunakea views adding a dramatic counterpoint. The land carries an agricultural legacy, historically used for cattle livestock and vegetable farming, and it comes with water rights from Peleau stream—providing water availability that has been in place for over 100 years. While there is currently no power available, the property is noted as having solar off-grid potential, aligning with a more self-reliant approach to life on the land. A 1943 map from the HI County Planning Department shows three parcels, and a future owner has the opportunity to reinstate the subdivision through HI County’s EPIC system under a PLR Permit. It’s a setting designed for wide horizons and long-term possibility.

Along the water’s edge in Lahaina, a highly sought-after oceanfront penthouse at The Mahana frames the horizon with 180° panoramic views. Floor-to-ceiling windows pull the ocean into daily life, shifting from bright mornings to the kind of year-round sunsets that linger long after you step out onto the private lanai. The experience is equally attuned to the seasons—whale watching becomes part of the view, not an event on the calendar. With direct beach access and resort-style amenities, the setting invites an easy rhythm: sand and salt air just outside, comfort within. Offered as a flexible opportunity for personal use, the residence also allows room for customization, balancing a polished outlook with the promise of something more personal over time.

Outside, mature landscaping frames two customized patios positioned off sliding glass doors, while rain gutters wrap the exterior and window coverings add privacy where needed. Views stretch west to a mature banyan tree and east to Hualalai mountain—an everyday backdrop for easy island living.
