40 KAI ALA PLACE on KAANAPALI BEACH. THIS GRACEFUL AND GRAND residence is truly an exclusive. One of only six beachfront homes on world-class Ka’anapali Beach, it combines the best that Maui has to offer – private, residential, resort living. At nearly an acre, the meticulously maintained property features a splendid circular driveway and a porte cochere leading to a unique, custom semi-circular doorway.
The interior is an outstanding example of Hawaiian style, combining the refined elegance of New England with nautical touches from the sailors who settled here in the 19th century. Some of the unique specialties setting this property apart include a magnificent grand staircase, carved teak railings and a marvelous balcony providing both a view of the two-story great room and a painterly portrait of the Pacific Ocean.
With more than 5,300 square feet of living space, the home boasts four bedroom suites, two with vaulted ceilings and custom captain’s beds. In addition, a large professional kitchen with granite counters, office work space and a fully equipped gym round out this exceptional home. The finishes of mosaic tile, limestone and marble floors add to the elegance of this singular property.
A true indoor-outdoor home, all the first level areas open to the spacious lanai and grounds where a large tiled pool, barbecue area, and private spa beckon. Perfect for Maui entertaining, this estate is offered turnkey.
Directly north of this home is an undeveloped, almost identical sized parcel. Acquisition of this property would provide the owner with almost two acres of prime beachfront land including one of the most outstanding residences on Maui.
