Three Stunning Hawai‘i Homes Being Showcased by Forbes Global Properties

Haiku Estate at Keali‘i Point on Maui’s North Shore

This beautiful 73-acre estate located on Maui’s North Shore is one of three stunning Hawai‘i homes represented by Hawai‘i Life that currently are being showcased by Forbes Global Properties. This spacious home is the custom-built residence of champion windsurfer Robby Naish. Which makes sense, since Maui is known as the windsurfing capital of the world. Located in Haiku, the home is close to some of the best big wave surfing and windsurfing spots in the world.

Built in 2005, the estate on Kealii Point is tucked between Uaoa Bay and Pilale Bay, on an elevated sea cliff that juts out, boasting half a mile of private coastline. It is here that Naish, now 57, became a pioneer of both kiteboarding and stand-up paddleboarding, and trained to win 23 World Championship Windsurfing titles.

The property’s stately driveway is lined on either side with palms and leads to the spacious, elegantly decorated 6,000 square foot home that encompasses five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a private gym. The great room includes a well-appointed chef’s kitchen, bar, and dining room that overlook the ocean and the property’s expansive green lawns and resort-style grounds.

Pocket doors disappear into the walls in the great room which features beautiful cove ceilings and polished wood floors. The expansive living area opens to an enormous covered lanai with ocean views. The outdoor pool features a waterfall and spa.

This Maui property includes a guest wing and a 2,000 square foot barn, with plenty of room for extended family, visitors, and a home office. It’s located near charming small towns, farmers’ markets, and close to conveniences like Whole Foods, Costco and Target. It’s also a short 25-minute drive from Maui’s Kahului Airport.

Other conveniences include an on-site, private well, and a photovoltaic system. Though the property is attached to Maui’s power grid, it makes for a very sustainable, self-sufficient lifestyle. This private compound has private trails that lead to the shoreline for easy access to the ocean swimming, surfing, diving, and fishing for which Maui is known.

Ultra-Modern Design in an Exclusive O‘ahu Enclave

Nestled on the hillside above the Mokulua Islands on O‘ahu, this estate home is an expression of contemporary elegance not often encountered in the Hawaiian Islands. The home’s extraordinary architecture and interior design are rivaled only by its spectacular natural setting in the exclusive Lanikai enclave, located on the east-facing coast of the island of O‘ahu. 

The home’s ultra-modern interior was informed by the rich, vibrant colors of the landscape and spectacular ocean and island views. The home’s design combines curated premium finishes in a neutral color palette and floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase one of the most iconic and sought-after views in Hawai‘i.

This secluded and private compound features a covered rooftop bar, a swimming pool and jacuzzi to enjoy the spectacular views, and a kitchen designed and built of black oak by German firm BT45. Practical luxuries include a climate-controlled wine cellar and Tesla power wall that stores energy from 36 photovoltaic panels. New owners can enjoy the white sands and turquoise waters of famed Lanikai Beach, all just 30 minutes from the vibrant cultural life, urban amenities, and international airport in Honolulu.

Outdoor Living Reaches New Heights on Kaua‘i’s North Shore

The breathtaking North Shore property enjoys unparalleled views of the gentle sweeping arch of the white sands of Hanalei Bay, with dramatic, verdant mountains as a backdrop. Enjoy rainbows, sunsets, passing storms, tranquil sunrises, waterfalls, gigantic surf, and sailboats dancing in the bay from your private poolside lanai and outdoor living space. It is the focal point of the entire property, incorporating a dining area, a comfortable lounge, and an elaborate outdoor kitchen & BBQ.

The home exhibits functional, island elegance at its best, with thoughtful architecture that complements the site perfectly, framing the views and inviting them into the understated, elegant living spaces of the home. This beautifully crafted home is configured into three spacious structures interconnected by the central outdoor living space.
