Island Sotheby's International Realty Has Highest Maui Sale Year to Date With $18.5 Million Luxury Ocean View Property

Situated in One Palauea Bay, one of the most exclusive communities in all of Hawaii, this luxury 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom property is the best of Wailea/Makena’s luxury living.  

(Makena, Maui) – A recent transaction from Island Sotheby’s International Realty agents, Ryan MacLaughlin R(B) and Alex Cortez R(B), marked the highest sale on Maui this year. 37 Ualei Place is one of the most exclusive offerings of Wailea and Makena and Ryan represented both the seller and the buyer. The property boasts breathtaking ocean views and serves as a quiet getaway atop one of the most pristine coastlines in Hawaii. 

"37 Ualei is very special within an exclusive enclave in Makena. Sitting at the highest elevation of the subdivision, it is very private while featuring panoramic ocean view corridors, yet enjoys the convenience of being a stone's throw from the best that Wailea has to offer,” stated Ryan MacLaughlin R(B), owner and principal broker of Island Sotheby’s International Realty.

With unobstructed multi-island view corridors, the thoughtfully designed luxury estate offers nearly 7,000 sq. ft. of interior living area and over 3,000 sq. ft. of covered lanai. The new owners are privy to a seamless fusion of indoor/outdoor living, on a tropically landscaped, one-acre parcel. 

The residence features six private master suites, expanded living/dining areas, and a home theater, designed in a series of three separate pavilions interconnected by covered lanais, anchored by a central garden, cascading waterfall, sunken cabana and vanishing edge pool, and hot tub, atop one of the most private parcels in South Maui. 

Unique features include a large gourmet kitchen, Egyptian limestone flooring, custom mahogany windows, carved doors, and a Balinese-style roof of ironwood diamond-cut shingles. Offered furnished, this presented a substantial turnkey opportunity for the buyers who sought out perfection in the form of a Hawaii home. 

"The Maui high-end sector continues to be in high demand. Affluent, sophisticated Buyers see the value that Maui has to offer and in the recovery period have come to embrace its lifestyle even more," said MacLaughlin. 

One Palauea Bay is an exclusive gated community that provides homeowners and their guest's privacy and serenity while still providing easy access to famous beaches such as Palauea Beach, the Fairmont Kea Lani, Polo Beach, and the renowned Wailea Beach Path, which connects all of the resorts from the Four Seasons to the Andaz. 

A pedestrian pathway on the west end of the property leads to the beaches below and a convenient outdoor shower. If guests prefer running or cycling, a run south towards Makena is not only picturesque but also a great workout, with several minor elevation changes. A short drive further out takes you to many of Makena’s stunning beaches like Big Beach, Palauea, Secret Beach.

"We are humbled and honored to have been a part of the sale of such a magnificent property. We are thrilled the new owner will cherish the home for years to come, as it presents one of the most unique value propositions in the highly sought-after Makena market," said MacLaughlin.
