$15M Hanalei Beachfront Property Sold in Record 7 Days!

Rare (adjective): Not found in large numbers. Unusually good or remarkable. That’s a perfect description of the oceanfront Hanalei Bay property listed at $15M that just sold in seven days (MLS# 258835).

HANALEI BEACHFRONT PROPERTY

“Not found in large numbers,” for sure, because there’s only so much beach frontage surrounding Hanalei Bay, and “remarkable,” because whether you’ve lived on Kauai your entire life – or are seeing it for the very first time – the beauty of Hanalei takes your breath away.

Hanalei Beachfront Property Sold in Record Days

The speed at which this property sold did leave me slightly breathless – we had an accepted offer within a week, and the sale closed three weeks later at $13.35M. But I wasn’t surprised, because this buyer recognized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a unique Hanalei Bay estate.

Gems like this can be snapped up before they’re ever posted on the MLS. (In fact, Kauai County purchased the last undeveloped oceanfront Hanalei parcel a couple of years back.) And this property – 1.07 acres with 160′ of beach frontage – was not only located in the most pristine section of Hanalei (down a private drive with no thru traffic), but it qualified for two homes and two guest houses.
