Explore this $10.5M "resort within a resort" on Lana'i

This could become your own resort within a resort.

Nestled on 1.2 acres of manicured grounds overlooking Manele Bay, Sweetheart Rock and the Jack Nicklaus golf course, this spectacular gated estate is a rare offering on the island of Lana’i. Listed for $10.5 million, paths for golf carts meander around the home’s three levels of gardens, nursery and expansive pool, creating the epitome of luxurious island living.

“It’s the only estate for sale on the entire island,” said Island Sotheby’s International Realty agent Greg Sturm R(S), who is representing the sellers. “We don’t really have a lot for sale here, and it’s truly one of a kind.”

Custom built with clear cedar, the home boasts the highest quality finishes and materials. Pocket sliding glass walls surround the main living space and lead to the 2,000-square-foot covered lanai, allowing the home’s inhabitants to enjoy indoor-outdoor living at its finest. On the home’s lower level, the spacious family room is equipped with a sauna, granite-walled steam room and half bath.

The barbecue, entertainment and pool and spa areas are nestled along two terraced levels of the property, all of which can be accessed by golf cart. Overhead, an expansive trellised structure supports more than 200 photovoltaic panels, which power the entire estate. And from your iPad or smartphone, you can manage the lighting, security, pool and indoor-outdoor music systems.

“It’s basically a small, self-contained resort,” explained Sturm. “It has the most beautiful three levels of home.”

Surrounded by the Manele Bay Golf Course and five minutes from the hotel, this is a rare chance to own a fee simple estate on this secluded island. Island Club membership is available to all homeowners within the resort.
