Perched atop the dramatic shoreline of Kapalua, Maui, 9 Bay Drive stands on close to 10 acres as an epitome of coastal luxury. The unparalleled site has been adorned with all the comforts of high-end living to create an enviable resort-style home. “It has a deeply emotional, almost spiritual feeling to it,” explains Realtor Mary Anne Fitch at Coldwell Banker Island Properties, who describes this home as the most exceptional property she’s ever encountered in her career.
This 7-bedroom gated estate captures the essence of Hawaiian living with expansive indoor-outdoor spaces and uninterrupted views like no other. The heart of the property is undoubtedly the natural landscape. In 2017, the 12,000-square-foot residence was rebuilt to specifically showcase and harmonize with the surrounding environment. Harrison Woodfield Architects, an award-winning firm, transformed the home, and it was named the Ludowici 2019 Residential Project of the Year, recognizing the unique blue clay tile roof resembling the Pacific Ocean.
Inside, there are accommodations for 12. Guests can choose from a primary suite with his and her baths, four oceanfront suites that include outdoor showers and private lanais, and two bunk bedrooms. “It can feel intimate, and it is perfect for entertaining and gathering large groups,” says Fitch.
Set against the backdrop of azure waters, every corner of this property exudes tranquility. Upon entering, floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the rooms in natural light, while framing breathtaking vistas of the ocean and nearby islands. Luxurious amenities include a resort-style pool with a lounging area and spa, a sophisticated outdoor barbecue and entertainment area, gym, game room, a primary and secondary kitchen, and even
commercial-grade laundry.
The primary suite is a haven with a spa-like ensuite bathroom and a private lanai overlooking the waves – the ideal spot to unwind and bask in the island breeze. Even more, just a few minutes away, “you can access the resort amenities at Montage Residences Kapalua Bay, which is an exclusive oceanfront community located within Kapalua Resort,” says Fitch.
9 Bay Drive is a sanctuary atop an unmatched site. Careful attention to detail has perfectly combined luxury comforts with natural wonder in this spectacular home for $30,000,000.
