At Pakala, 8.6 beachfront acres extend from the shoreline to Kaumuali?i Highway on Kaua?i's west side. The 1912 residence sits well within the acreage, facing due west toward Ni?ihau. A long left known to surfers for generations breaks along the reef offshore. The sun sets directly ahead. Built for Sinclair and Ethel Robinson the year Sinclair became manager of Gay & Robinson, the single-level residence is approximately 5,000 square feet with four bedrooms and five baths. A caretaker's cottage, garage and storage are also on the property. A long approach runs through mature trees and palms before opening around the house. Broad lawn extends from a covered lanai to a low wall of stacked lava rock and the shoreline beyond. French doors open onto the lanai. Deep eaves, high ceilings, wide openings and interior pass-throughs carry the trades through the house. The property holds a TVR certificate for legal vacation rental use.
