If only the walls could speak… Beyond the rock walls of this fully gated oceanfront estate lies the quintessential traits of a family home borne of South Pacific and Hawaiian origins. It is here that special gatherings abound and lasting memories are created. Within its lava rock walls opens a secret garden adorned with lush tropical plants leading to two oversized covered lanais which flank both the entry and the ocean sides of the home. Entering through its double door entry, one's eye is immediately drawn through the main gathering space, with its ceilings soaring 20+ feet, then out to unobstructed views of the covered lanai, grounds, pool, ocean, and the outer islands beyond. The chef's kitchen, which is the heart of the home with its double islands, sinks and ovens, make special gatherings a breeze in allowing guests a seamless transition onto the adjacent oversized lanais. Top of line Thermador and Bosch appliances, Cherry wood custom cabinetry and Brazilian Cherry wood flooring carry through the entire main house as well as the attached ohana. The master suite and three guest suites (outfitted presently as 2 bedrooms plus an office suite) flank this center gathering space providing ideal separation and privacy for those who dwell within. An attached 1 bedroom, one bath ohana stands ready to receive in-laws, guests, or house manager, with its separate kitchen and living area, and enjoys ground floor private access. A huge pantry, playroom/pilates/yoga area as well as air conditioned bonus/storage room complete the main house living space. Consider starting the day by enjoying coffee and the morning sun on the oversized 600 square foot lanai overlooking the east facing private gardens. Then spending the afternoon on your nearly 1300 square feet of oceanside lanai which provides outstanding outdoor living. Have a meal, go for a swim in the heated lap pool or just lounge at the in-pool ledge or sunbathe at the lawns abutting the water's edge. Take a nap or just enjoy south Maui's iconic views... The joint 1900 square feet of covered loggia provides substantial shade under which to relax and entertain. At the end of each day, simply enjoy the ever-changing glorious daily Maui sunsets framed by gas-lit tiki torches. Direct unobstructed views to the islands of Lanai, Kaho’olawe, Molokai and Molokini as well as to the West Maui mountains and Big Beach (Puu Olai). Private, gated, exclusive, and unassuming… World Class shopping, dining, golf, & tennis are literally steps away. 87 owned net metered solar photo voltaic panels service individually metered main house and attached ohana. Double seawall, poured concrete slab and large storage room for housing a multitude of ocean toys. Laminated windows adds both security and soundproofing. Copper roof, cedar wood exterior cladding provides both longevity and resistance to pests . Approximately 6,000 square feet under roof including 1900 square foot of covered lanai.
