There is no better place to live a truly luxurious lifestyle than on the island of Maui. And the detached, elegant residence at 5520 Makena Road is the perfect Maui luxury home. Currently listed on the real estate market for $19.5 million, this sophisticated and tastefully designed home is located in the Black Sands subdivision in the community of Makena. Featuring only seven residences, the Black Sands gated subdivision offers a high level of privacy and security. However, one of the most attractive features of the residence at 5520 Makena Road is its superb oceanfront location.
This high-end Maui property looks out over the Pacific Ocean, offering spectacular views of the water and outer islands. With 120 feet of ocean frontage and a beautiful sandy beach, this home is perfect for those who enjoy soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, whale watching or any other beach activity. Above the beach and directly around the residence, lush landscaping shows off the best of Maui’s tropical beauty while creating a tranquil atmosphere and a private oasis.
Built in 2006, this exquisitely refined home features 5398 square feet of interior living space and 1072 square feet of lanais. All four bedrooms have their own ensuite bathroom and the master bedroom also features a private outdoor shower. With two powder rooms, a large den/study, a formal dining room and a family room, this home offers plenty of quality living space. Other noteworthy features of this property include the gourmet kitchen with two pantries and the exercise room. While the floor plan is very spacious, it is the special touches such as the high ceilings, elegant design elements and unique details that make this home truly special and spectacular.
One such unique detail is the climate controlled wine room that will hold more than 800 bottles. Another is the outdoor pool cabana with trellised seating for 10 to 12 people. The cabana also features a barbecue, refrigerator, sink and bathroom, providing an ideal outdoor dining and entertainment area. Residents of this home will also enjoy the oversized, in-ground heated swimming pool and separate spa as well as the two-car garage which provides secure and convenient parking.
While 5520 Makena Road is a truly luxurious home that provides the very best of Maui beachfront living, the local community also provides excellent amenities that further enhance the attractiveness of the property. For example, the community of Wailea is just a short drive away, providing easy access to a variety of quality restaurants, shops, spas, entertainment and golf courses. However, with so much exquisite beauty inside the home and right at its doorstep, it would not be surprising if residents were reluctant to stray far from their private, oceanfront paradise.
