Venture capitalist and Golden State Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob is selling his 4,100-square-foot mansion in Kailua-Kona, HI, for $7 million.

The four-bedroom, 4.5-bath home is located on the Hualālai Resort, which is run by the Four Seasons hotel chain. The single-story home, built in 2005 on a 0.64-acre lot, is set on a bluff and is one of the most private homes on the resort, with drop-away ocean views.

The home is designed for year-round, indoor-outdoor living. Nearly every room opens to the outdoors. The living room has striking floor-to-ceiling walls that can be collapsed, opening the entire space to a large lanai. The home was designed to resemble a traditional Hawaiian pole house, with large rooms that open to allow cooling western trade winds to flow through.

The home has stone floors in the common areas and vaulted ceilings with large, tropical fans in most rooms. There’s a koi pond with water lilies and other aquatic plants in the central courtyard. Rooms open either to the courtyard or the backyard, which has an infinity pool and is meticulously landscaped with palm trees and grass.

The kitchen has a granite breakfast bar that seats five. The warm, custom woodwork found throughout the home follows into the kitchen, which has a large island, modern cabinetry, Wolf range, Viking and Sub-Zero appliances, wine fridge, stone backsplash, and picture window over the sink.

The home includes two rooms with built-in shelves and desks that could serve as home offices. One of the bathrooms has a stone soaking tub, dual sinks, and outdoor shower. Elsewhere, there’s a detached guesthouse with a living room and kitchenette.

Hualālai Resort is home to an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, restaurant on the 18th green, sports club and spa, and outdoor activity center. It’s located on the island of Hawaii’s Kona-Kohala Coast, a short drive from Kona International Airport. Bloomberg profiled this slice of luxury paradise and its feuding homeowners back in May.

Lacob, 60, is a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, one of Silicon Valley’s oldest and largest venture capital firms. He and a group of investors purchased the Warriors in 2010 for $450 million. Lacob infamously slept with the Larry O’Brien trophy after the Warriors won the NBA title in 2015.
