Standing on a rise above Black Sand Beach on Maui’s south shore, it is possible to imagine the Makena that Polynesian voyagers first saw so many hundreds of years ago. Pu’u Ola’i, a towering cinder cone richly hued in deep brick reds and golds, shades an emerald forest preserve. An expanse of volcanic black sand curves in a protective cove, with Molokini islet not far off shore. Blended with this scenic and historic landscape is Residence Five at Makena, a stunning one acre centerpiece estate available for purchase among only seven exclusive home sites. This newly constructed five-bedroom, five and a half bath home features 8,000 square feet of well-appointed indoor and outdoor living space, and a rare opportunity for luxurious living while maintaining a sense of place in old Hawaii.

Upon entering this residence you look north and see the sandy coastline. Then, you turn and look south. Again, you see the sandy coastline. It is at that moment you realize, this is a once-in-a-lifetime offering. Providing privacy and seclusion this 6,000 SF trophy home is perched above the ocean and white sand beach. Its premiere location is front and center on Keawakapu Beach, which has been rated “One of the Best Beaches in Hawaii.” Two-story curved glass walls maximize this tranquil location while the blue pacific provides the backdrop. The spacious second floor master suite with private lanai captures 180 degree coastal and outer island views. This quality five bedroom home is situated on over a half an acre with more than 100 feet of beach frontage . . . your only apparent neighbor is the ocean.
