This Kukahiko family ocean front Estate is one of the last beach front Estates owned by a Hawaiian family with rich history dating back over 200 years. The first John “Kukahiko” was an unusual and extraordinary chief who lived in Makena during the whaling era. This Chief was said to have had Mana (power) to calm the ocean water, no matter how rough. He served to guide the whalers into the bay; for when he stepped into the ocean, the rough waters became calm. John Kukahiko and his family believed in taking care of sharks, and were not afraid of them. They fed the sharks, which in turn, protected the Kukahikos, thus becoming the family ‘aumakua. ‘Aumakua are family or personal gods. A symbolic relationship existed, mortals did not harm or eat ‘aumakua and ‘aumakua warned and reprimanded mortals in dreams, visions and calls.
Rich in Hawaiian history and foreboding spectacular views, the Kukahiko estate is ideal for small dinner parties, rehearsal dinners, and wedding ceremonies and receptions up to 50 persons.
