Phenomenal oceanfront Makena home for sale for $1 million

This is a spectacular headline: “A phenomenal oceanfront Makena home is offered for sale for $1 million”. The property is located on a white sandy beach in South Maui. This Makena home is of superior construction, brand new, single level, 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with a 3-car garage. And it comes with your personal butler living in the onsite caretaker cottage.

Come on! Get real! Don’t you think I would be busy writing a purchase contract instead of an advertisement for this Makena home? It’s the first of April. Happy April Fool’s Day!

 

Today’s Maui photo was taken on a hike to the most southern peak of the island. It’s a fantastic and easy hike from La Perouse Bay towards the end of the day when it’s not too hot.

Please contact me if you are interested in Makena homes. While they sure will NEVER be available for $1 million dollar, there are some wonderful opportunities in South Maui. Makena homes and Makena condos are somewhat considered the ultimate Maui real estate if you are seeking secluded and private properties on the island of Maui. Aloha from VW.

Oceanfront Halama Street Kihei home sells for $3 million today

Yes, this is not the white sand of Keawakapu Beach! But oceanfront homes on Halama Street are also not in the same price range. This Kihei home located on Halama Street sold for an even $3,000,000.00 and has been on the market for almost 300 days.

1490 Halama Street was first built in 1985 and later remodeled in 2007. This single level Kihei home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, just over 1700 square feet of living space. The value is in the land, measuring nearly half an acre in size. The big green lawn towards the Pacific ocean is framed with mature palm trees. I love the open space, it just feels great.

1490 Halama Street is centrally located. It is a comfortable, flat and even bike ride to get your shopping and banking done at the same time. The Kihei homes of Halama Street are walking distance to Kalama Park in the south. It’s been a while, but I have great memories living here.

Halama Street is one of only two oceanfront streets in Kihei other then the long main stretch known as South Kihei Road. The other one is Iliili Road, but it is less then a quarter of the length and located further south, just after the Cove Park. Therefore, oceanfront Kihei homes are very limited in supply.

Grand Wailea Resort changes ownership but remains with Hilton’s luxury Waldorf Astoria brand

The good news is that the Grand Wailea Resort will remain under the management contract of Hilton’s luxury Waldorf Astoria brand. We should “feel” not much of a change in regards to the day to day operation of South Maui’s famed resort hotel.

Nevertheless, together with the three other luxury American resorts, a New York bankruptcy judge approved the sale of the Grand Wailea Resort to a Singaporean government investment fund. See this link to the Maui News for further details.

Today’s Maui photo is an aerial of the Grand Wailea Resort. When first arriving on Maui directly from Hamburg in Germany, I worked in this hotel and really enjoyed myself. It was an unforgettable experience and I never wanted to leave Maui again.

Two Wailea Condos are located really close to the hotel. The darker rooflines to the left are those of the Wailea Beach Villas. On the top right, you can see the roof lines of the Hoolei At Wailea condos. Wailea Beach is a fabulous South Maui destination. Aloha from VW.
