Hale Kehau, situated directly above historic Keauhou Bay, the Kona Country Club’s Mauka Golf Course, and the Kona coastline within the desirable Keauhou Resort area, is one of only two private gated luxury townhome complexes. Renown for its solid construction, impeccable amenities, lush grounds, and proximity to all that Keauhou Resort has to offer, Hale Kehau deserves a close look to those in the luxury real estate market.
With an expansive covered and tiled lanai of 700+ square feet, outdoor living is the norm
Hale Kehau – Affordably Priced Luxury Living
The standard Hale Kehau unit consists of a single level 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath townhome of 2,263 square feet with level entry and no stairs for convenience and safety. Large covered and tiled lanai space doubles as outdoor living and dining area with direct access to both the kitchen and living room. Complex amenities include a pool, spa, tennis court, Club house, and gated entry.
Each townhome provides second story level entry, private gate, golf cart and golf cart parking
Luxury Home Ownership vs. Luxury Townhome Living
The main distinction between luxury townhome ownership and luxury home ownership within the Keauhou Resort area comes down to two main factors: price and maintenance.
Similar homes located within Keauhou Estates, and Bayview Estates, the two most popular and sought after luxury gated subdivisions in the Keauhou area, with comparable amenities, views, and square footage, are averaging just over $1 Million. Compare that with the average cost of a Hale Kehau unit at $590,000, the cost savings becomes obvious.
Upon first glance the monthly maintenance fees in Hale Kehau can appear rather excessive, until one looks at a true cost breakdown of homeownership.
The homeowner’s monthly expenses for the upkeep of a pool, lush landscaping, home exterior (paint, rain gutters, foundation, etc.), Home Owners Association dues, water, sewer, and trash removal can easily match or beat that of the luxury townhome. Also, while the homeowner is away on vacation, or extended absence, all of those items must be tended to by either an outside company or neighbor at either substantial cost or obligation. Whereas the luxury townhome owner has none of those similar headaches or worries.
