It’s hard not to fall in love with Hawaii, especially its beautiful scenery and rich culture. Here to give you another reason to crave it is this custom home designed by architect Bing Hu. Nestled within the upscale private community of Kukui’ula, the residence known as Kahalawai Custom Home H embraces nature with organic materials and boasts tons of fine finishes. It just listed and is asking a staggering $16,000,000.
Not only was Kahalawai the Wall Street Journal‘s 2018 Home of the Year, but the listing is currently the highest priced home within the Kukui’ula community in two years. Talk about esteem! While Hu devised the property’s architecture, Mary Philpotts tackled the interiors. A buyer can definitely get inspired by the art, decor, and custom furniture that fills the spaces. Most vivid, however, are the 7,100-square-foot home’s gorgeous views all around and revitalizing indoor-outdoor atmosphere.
In true Hawaii fashion, the home is like one large covered lanai, holding large doors and windows that usher in warm light and fresh air. A stunning chef’s kitchen, featuring two central islands and top-of-the-line appliances, awaits for an avid cook. Don’t feel too pressured, though, as living within the Kukui’ula community provides access to two restaurants and a clubhouse.
The home’s amenities themselves are a dream, including four bedrooms and five full bathrooms, as well as a guest cottage. If the ocean nearby somehow isn’t cutting it, an infinity pool as well as two spas and a cold plunge exist on the property for relaxing in style. Other perks of membership to the Club at Kukui’ula include access to a fitness center, 18 hole Tom Weiskopf golf course, and a 10-acre organic farm.
