Celebrity-Owned Estate Sold For $20M

Frequently I’ve had the opportunity to see unique properties and masterpiece homes on the Big Island of Hawaii, but some stand out more than others. Wai’alea Bay Estate is one of these memorable properties. From the moment I stepped onto this property, I knew it was something truly spectacular. Listed active on the MLS for only thirty days before going into escrow, this estate closed yesterday for $20,000,000.

This year there have only been three residential homes listed for sale on the Big Island of Hawaii for over $20M. To date, Wai’alea Bay is the second highest sale compared to the $33M listing in Hualalai Resort, which was purchased for $25M on August 7, 2015.

Embrace indoor-outdoor living at this beautiful property

Comprised of over three acres total, this property’s location is truly spectacular. Surrounded by the ocean on three sides with over 830 feet of ocean frontage, this property feels like an island oasis. The white sand beach known as 69’s is located just to the north and the private Kiele Bay to the south.
