With four ocean view suites, this home offers unparalleled privacy and tranquility. The Primary Suite, located in the far west wing, feels like a private retreat, complete with a custom walk-in closet, a spa-like ensuite featuring a freestanding soaking tub, and a private outdoor shower. On the opposite wing, the additional suites cater to guests with equal luxury. At the heart of the home lies the expansive great room, anchored by a chef’s kitchen that is both functional and artful boasting Taj Mahal quartz countertops, sleek rift-cut white oak cabinetry, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual dishwashers. The adjacent ocean-view living room, with its custom built-ins, vaulted hemlock ceilings, and walls of windows, invites you to relax as waves crash in the distance. Set in an exclusive enclave of estate-style properties, this residence epitomizes refined island living. Currently a licensed vacation rental, it has been sparingly rented, with the owner’s meticulous care evident throughout. This is more than a home; it’s a rare opportunity to own a coveted retreat in one of Kauai’s most sought-after locations.
