The Jewel of Kahana Auction Maui

Inspired by luxurious resort living, the Jewel of Kahana offers a secluded lifestyle with all the elements one would expect from a five-star resort. Designed by architectural team Jim and Karen LeCron of Arri/LeCron Architects, Inc., who share a passion for creating dreamy getaways from California to Hawaii, the estate incorporates well-appointed private living suites for independent escape with spacious, airy common rooms and unique, Hawaiian-inspired outdoor entertainment areas for collective enjoyment.

Every detail of the layout and appointments takes advantage of the estate's magnificent slice of Maui oceanfront property. With views of Molokai and Lanai, and with pocket sliding glass doors that disappear when open, guests and residents can enjoy the breathtaking ocean panorama and sun-drenched, balmy breezes throughout all seasons, whether indoors or out.

The home's clean-lined, contemporary design is a perfect contrast to the tropical surroundings. Neutral, polished travertine stone moves from inside to outside with no demarcation, and Brazilian cherry and Sappelli woods add warm accents in custom cabinetry, interior doors and upstairs flooring. The unique swimming pool, complete with hand-placed lava rocks, waterfalls and spa, is designed to look like a tropical lagoon and flows directly up to the living and dining areas.

The property is equipped for any scale of entertaining, whether hosting a crowd of three or hundreds. The kitchen layout is open and informal - the dining area merges into bar seating, with the preparation and cooking area adjacent. Bring a sushi chef in to roll fresh bites in full view; or for a more formal affair take advantage of the secondary catering kitchen. The second floor billiards lounge opens to the main living room below and features separate seating vignettes for conversation and play. Shoot a game of pool with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop, or relax with a cocktail after an invigorating day of hiking the nearby waterfalls.

The 9,700-square-foot residence sleeps up to sixteen in seven oceanfront suites. Each suite has its own sliding glass doors with access to a private balcony or terrace, wet bar, flat-screen television and turquoise water views. Luxurious bathroom appointments include double vanities, custom wood cabinetry, freestanding, over-sized soaking tubs and custom-designed tile and glass showers. Ease of living is a focus with "smart home" technology throughout. All of the mechanics and lighting can be managed from two touchpads within the house, as well as remotely by computer.

Leaving the Island for the mainland? No worries. The control is still at your fingertips. Other unseen elements are incorporated, such as automated translucent blinds to shade the interior and retreat again when the sun sets. Plasma televisions, Wifi and Hi-Definition digital cable add to the enjoyment, and Lutron lighting and security cameras instill a sense of safety. The two-story ohana ("family") guest quarters offers the perfect, private retreat. Finished with the same luxury appointments and design as the main residence, the ohana includes its own kitchen, outdoor terrace and sleeping loft. The ohana kitchen can also serve as a catering kitchen. Featuring pocket sliding glass corner doors, which when open allow a seamless view of the ocean and access to the lawn, it enables the perfect venue to host an evening luau, with the food and drinks prepped out of site.
