Luxury Honolulu Residence with Panoramic Ocean Views
This exceptional single-family home, located at 3865 Mariposa Drive, offers a premier resort lifestyle just a 10-minute drive (approximately 6km) from the world-famous Waikiki. Perched on a hillside, the property commands breathtaking, unobstructed views of Diamond Head and the sparkling Pacific Ocean from the third-floor master bedroom and the second-floor living and dining areas. The rooftop terrace provides a spectacular vantage point to enjoy unforgettable Hawaiian sunsets, immersing you in a truly exceptional resort experience.
The property features a fully equipped studio-style guest house located beneath the garage. This separate unit includes its own kitchen and bathroom, making it ideal for hosting visiting friends and family or as a potential rental income source. The surrounding neighborhood is highly desirable for permanent residence, with the University of Hawaii's Manoa campus just a 9-minute drive (approx. 4.1km) away and the upscale Kahala Mall accessible within a 7-minute drive (approx. 3.5km).
The area of Honolulu is rich in history and natural beauty. An interesting fact is that the iconic Diamond Head crater, visible from this property, is a dormant volcanic tuff cone known as Le'ahi in Hawaiian, and its distinctive silhouette was used by early sailors as a navigational landmark. The closest major landmark is the world-renowned Waikiki Beach, a global hub for tourism, surfing, and oceanfront luxury.
