Description

Overlooking the Wailua River Valley, the Alwyn Trigg-Smith-designed Kukui Lani estate consists of two impeccable homes complete with a saltwater swimming pool. The 3,900 sf. main home features soaring open beam cathedral ceilings with a grounding statement gas fireplace, exotic hardwoods, and custom woodwork. The open concept living area flows into the chef’s kitchen with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas stove, wine coolers, and an indoor/outdoor grill area....Overlooking the Wailua River Valley, the Alwyn Trigg-Smith-designed Kukui Lani estate consists of two impeccable homes complete with a saltwater swimming pool. The 3,900 sf. main home features soaring open beam cathedral ceilings with a grounding statement gas fireplace, exotic hardwoods, and custom woodwork. The open concept living area flows into the chef’s kitchen with professional-grade stainless steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas stove, wine coolers, and an indoor/outdoor grill area. The main home envelopes around the 1,137 sf. covered lanai and pool deck, framing the valley rim and mountain views. The ample primary bedroom suite boasts a palatial bathroom with a steam room and freestanding soaking tub as well as a finished storage area located above the spacious walk-in closet. Consistent design elements run throughout the property, including imported Travertino marble flooring in the homes, lanai, and pool area. Recent improvements include a new cedar hand-split shake roof, a solar water pool heating system, and split-system air conditioning. In addition to the two homes, there are three outbuildings: a workshop, 4-car covered parking structure, and poolside cabana. Located near Opaekaa Falls, the gated estate is inconspicuously tucked behind lava rock walls and immaculate landscaping. Enjoy the serenity, privacy, and quiet of Kukui Lani and be greeted by waterfall views when entering and exiting the estate. Decorated and furnished with high-end pieces, the estate is offered furnished with personal exclusions. Kukui Lani rests at the beginning of Wailua Homesteads, an upcountry community known for its cool, balmy weather and close proximity to Kapaa Town. The Sleeping Giant Trailhead is ½ a mile away with the Keahua Arboretum a short drive further up Kuamoo Rd. The meandering Coastal Kapaa Bike Path as well as water activities on Wailua Bay and the Wailua River are just down the hill. Lihue with all its conveniences is a mere 15 minutes.
