Rub Elbows With Larry Ellison On Remote Lanai Island Retreat

Share News:

This week we center on the remote island of Lanai –  a secluded 140-square-mile Hawaiian island majority-owned by American business magnate Larry Ellison. Lanai is exclusive and private, with few listings ever coming to market. That is, except for the one we feature today.

This week’s “What Can I Get” is an $8.8 million Lanai paradise that is sure to blow you away. Let’s take a peek, shall we?

Rare Lanai Luxury Listing Hits Market With Prime Locale, Population 30

First off, Lanai is located just nine short miles from Maui. The island itself is an enchanting sight, most famous for its Shipwreck Beach and pristine views of the Molokai and Maui islands. From humpback whales along the shoreline to its dramatic Garden of the Gods, Lanai is a playground for those who want privacy, luxury, and views. 

Unspoiled Natural Beauty And Lanai Exclusivity Are Only The Beginning

But this listing takes it a step further. In fact, the property sits in Lanai’s most exclusive enclave, Manele, with a population of 30. And it is the only listing available.

Next, the 1.2-acre gated retreat consists of exquisite natural beauty situated high above Hulopoe Bay and Sweetheart Rock. And even better, the offering is a luxurious carbon neutral compound, complete with four-gracious-bedrooms, five-spa-bathrooms, and 6,000 square feet of dramatic indoor-outdoor entertaining. 

Disappearing Walls Of Glass Afford Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Entertaining

Once inside, walls of glass disappear seamlessly, blending the elements inside and out. A story of warm woods, elegant stone, and gentle ocean breezes combine to create an oasis of calm.

And the layout is ideal for hosting a crowd without a single detail overlooked.

Amenity-Rich Accommodations With Saltwater Pool, Spa, And Guest Quarters

Guests will marvel at the amenities, including the saltwater pool and spa with Omni Logic system for little to no maintenance.

And aside from the well-appointed ground floor, which houses the kitchen, living space, and sumptuous guest suite, there is also private guest quarters on the lower level.

It features two bedrooms with custom Shoji doors. These rooms open to a grand family area and secondary kitchen that is perfect for multi-generational living or extended stay guests.

In addition, the listing reveals, “Pathways around the estate can be accessed via two included golf carts. Or stroll the gardens with its collection of tropical flowers, organic foods, and nursery.”

Clearly, everything you need to live well is right here.

Dramatic Master Suite Wows With Private Ocean-View Deck

Not to be outdone, is the upper level master suite. It has some of the best views in the house, offering a tropical-inspired setting with en-suite spa bath, walk-in closet, laundry, and sweeping ocean views from your own private deck. 

Golfers Will Appreciate The Neighboring Jack Nicklaus Designed Course

For golfers, the property conveniently borders the Jack Nicklaus designed Challenge Golf Course, known as the most exclusive in Hawaii. And residents will also enjoy dining in style at the nearby Four Seasons Resort Lanai.

Lastly, per the listing, “a 40-foot fishing boat with slip at the Manele Harbor can also be included in the purchase.”

Could you be the next buyer to own this magnificent home? 

Mary Anne Fitch with Hawaii Life has listed 450 Hulopoe Drive Unit 75, Lanai City, Hawaii for $8.8 million.
