Stunning Maui Estate With Ocean Views in the Private Gated Community of The Pinnacle at Kaanapali

I spent two days looking at and admiring some incredible homes in Kapalua, Kaanapali, and Launiopoko on Maui. Today, I want to share with you one of those estates that really stood out. This home is ideal for a family looking for a second home or a retirement home.

This is a 3 bedroom, 5 bath home with over 5,000 sq. feet of living space (MLS# 351804) priced at $3,880,000 – and well worth it, in my opinion. This home sits on almost a 1/2 acre, located on top of the small ridge, which makes for unobstructed views of the Kaanapali coastline.

Because it sits on the hill, the driveway was a little treacherous at first; I actually scraped the front of my van as I came down. I was a little concerned about this, but was assured by the owner that after 3 or 4 trips it becomes nothing. It sure wouldn’t work in snow country, but being on that hill gives you the views you just can’t beat.

The way this home opens up to the pool, hot tub, and BBQ area just takes your breath away

From the lanai, infinity pool, cascading water features and lava rock retaining walls of the exterior, to the hidden sapili wood sliding doors and concurrent travertine flooring, the cohesive design of this home erases any distinction between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

An appealing aspect of this home was the fact that everything that is needed is on the main level with no need to navigate the stairs for anything. This comes in real handy for anyone who might have a difficulty walking, or older individuals.

Designed my Marc Taron and the recipient of the Building Industry Association of Hawaii’s 2010 Renaissance Building and Remodeling Grand Award, features of this home include a professional kitchen with Wolf gas cook top and hood, sub-zero refrigerator and freezer, Meile dishwasher and custom coffee system and Dacor double ovens.

With all the finer touches and furnishings, this was one of the favorites – it just exudes elegance

There is a huge downstairs area with its own suite and over-sized TV room. There is even a closet that has been wired for an elevator. On this bottom level is also a small garage for your personal golf cart, which is highly recommended for all of the Kaanapali neighborhoods.
