Elegant North Shore Estate, Maui
Elegant North Shore Estate, Maui
Maui has a coastline of beautiful beaches, crescent coves and views of some other nearby islands such as Lanai and Molokai. All of these islands and a few smaller islands were once connected where the channels are today. Where many beaches look straight out to a flat horizon, many of Maui's beaches also are afforded this additional interest.
This estate was built with finite attention to detail. Wood and stone were carefully picked such as African Mahogany, mango wood, bamboo, ohia, travertine, Australian beech and ironwood. These woods all have beautiful grains which are highlighted throughout the home with many carved railings and doors.
Consisting of 7,385sf of living area, features include 3 en-suite bedrooms and 3 half baths. Also included is a master suite with family room and wet bar that is separated from the other bedrooms by an interior bridge. The great room combines kitchen and dining with the living space and opens to outdoor pool and spa. There is a porte-cochere entry, a media room, library, guest cottage and 5-car garage. With almost an acre of land of mature landscaping, one also finds ponds and other water features interspersed among the tropical foliage.
Built in 2005, the house was designed for open living where glass walls open to outdoor living spaces and allow trade-winds to enter. Hawaii was made for open air living since there are no snakes in the islands and other pests are few thanks to the little geckos that stay busy providing a natural exterminating service. The home invites both formal and casual entertaining and all guests will enjoy watching for pods of breeding whales during the winter months. This rare gated masterpiece is priced at $13.9m.
