Exclusive Maluhia at Wailea home sells for $7.3M

An elegant beachfront Wailea estate has sold, marking another significant sale for the Island Sotheby’s International Realty team.

Nestled atop the white sands of Mokapu Beach, the four-bedroom, six-bath beachfront home is just one of 14 exclusive estates at Maluhia at Wailea, one of South Maui’s most prestigious resort communities. Of all of these coveted estates, Residence Three boasts the highest elevation, featuring breathtaking ocean views from nearly every room. 

“Once the buyer saw that the home offered direct oceanfront access, he and his wife just fell in love with the property,” said Island Sotheby’s International Realty Realtor Sam Utley R(S), who represented the seller with Mino McLean R(B).

At the heart of Residence Three is an atrium and pond, creating the perfect space for quiet reflection and relaxation. Meanwhile, the expansive living room and dining area open to the pool and lawn — the epitome of indoor-outdoor living. 

The new buyers, who were represented by Jan Lap R(B), also of Island Sotheby's International Realty,  will be able to pick their master suite from the main or second level. Each of the four bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms, including one equipped with a large copper soaking tub.  

But the allure of the home doesn’t stop there. Besides the private pool and lush, tropical landscaping, Maluhia at Wailea boasts a newly-renovated community clubhouse with a chef's kitchen, dining and lounge areas that open to the oceanfront lawn. Owners at the exclusive, gated community also enjoy privileges at the Andaz Resort, one of South Maui’s most prestigious hotels.

“You get treated just like a resort guest at the Andaz,” Utley explained. "Their pools, spas and restaurants are in your backyard."
