280 craftsmen built Bali estate in 1994; Hawaii rebuild now asks $32.5M

Imagine if a piece of Bali was carefully taken apart, shipped across the Pacific, and reassembled along one of Hawaii’s most dramatic coastlines. So the answer is a gorgeous oceanfront estate, where Indonesian craftsmanship meets the rugged beauty of Hawaii's Big Island. A three-acre parcel on the Kohala Coast near Kiholo Bay is now listed at $32.5 million. According to Land Research, the compound, owned by billionaire entrepreneur John Paul DeJoria, is less an elaborate architectural time capsule than a conventional luxury home. For the uninitiated, Indonesian temple architecture has long been a love of DeJoria’s, as old as the property itself. He employed 280 master craftsmen to construct an authentic Balinese estate in Bali, using traditional Indonesian ironwood and teak. It took 4 years to build and was finished in 1994.
