Set within a 1.3 acre security-gated enclave, fronting Lanikai Beach on the windward coast of Oahu, amidst towering palm trees and vibrantly hued tropical flowers and foliage, one of America’s leading entrepreneurs has created the quintessential vision of a modem Polynesian village; this is one of Hawaii’s finest villas and is the epitome of tropically casual elegance.
The seven separate buildings of the almost 11,000 square foot estate are typified by gracefully rounded stucco walls and thatch exteriors, capped by roofing made from hand-split Indonesian ironwood, and fringed with feathered palm fronds.
Throughout the property the high, peaked ceilings of the buildings are covered with finely woven grass matting and are cross-timbered and supported by columns and beams consisting of native Hawaiian ohia tree logs. The inlaid teaks, tiles and hand-crafted koa woods of the interiors; and the Oriental - Balinese motif furnishings have been skillfully combined to create an unsurpassed example of a modern, tropical paradise.
The estate amenities include a heated swimming pool with waterfall, pool side jacuzzi and covered pool pavilion; a Japanese furo bath, sauna and a picturesque koi pond.
The estate is equipped with 5 phone lines, fax machine and a 3 disc DVD player in the master bedroom.
The main pavilion features a cavernous, oceanfront living and dining area where the 25’ tall ceiling is pierced by multiple skylights which bathe the richly crafted woods and exotic decor with a natural glow.
The main pavilion also houses a commercial grade kitchen and two of the estate’s five bedrooms.
The oceanfront master bedroom suite provides guests with a fireplace and a bathroom where the black onyx lavatory, bidet and jacuzzi tub are lined with gleaming polished teak.
Flagstone pathways meander past the boathouse, which has an upstairs “crows nest” bedroom suite with its own oceanfront sitting room and wet bar, to another pavilion with two additional oceanfront bedrooms. The two buildings are separated by a pavilion containing a guest kitchen, wet bar, and an inviting oceanfront living area.
Adjacent to the guest bedrooms, another pavilion designed as a Japanese bathhouse complete with koi pond, tatamis mats, furo tub, sauna and garden shower. The covered pool pavilion with its high ceilings, ohia log columns, mini-kitchen, wet bar, living area and his/her bath/changing rooms serves as the focal point for outdoor relaxation and for informal entertaining and dining.
The dark bottomed, lagoon style swimming pool is accented by a waterfall cascading over natural boulders into the pool area, which is surrounded by flowing tropical foliage.
The ocean side of the estate opens to gorgeous vistas of reef-protected, azure waters and of picturesque Mokulua islands located a short distance offshore. An arbor-lined pathway leads to a secluded beach cove where guests can enjoy sun bathing and ocean swimming in privacy.
This estate provides an ideal setting for travelers who value quality, privacy and security and it has received excellent reviews from some of the entertainment industry notables who have vacationed here.
