Wailea Highlands: 4238 Melianani Place

Listed in mid December of last year, 4238 Melianani Place in the Wailea Highlands stood out for two reasons: it was sitting on 1 acre of highly desirable Wailea real estate and it was its first time on the market. The home sits on the 12th fairway of the Old Wailea Blue Golf Course as the lanai views are a major selling point of the property.

Brought to market at $9,998,000, the price was held firm throughout the property’s time on the market. In the end, after 6 months on the market and two more spent in escrow, the property closed for $8,900,000 cash.

Custom single-level wailea residence situated on double golf course lots with great ocean & sunset views featuring impeccable attention to detail. Amenities include elegantly furnished home, lush & mature landscaping, over sized 3-car garage, 160′ ocean view lanai (2235 sf), 174 panel pv solar system (40kw system has reduced the electric bill 98%), 1000 gallon built-in saltwater aquarium with back up generator, 3-zone nest internet controlled a/c system, 3-bedroom en-suites, 3.5 bathrooms, separate guest area includes family room with 2 separate en-suites, 110″ front projection home theater with automatic black out shades, sun shades throughout on world clock for automatic closure, book matched african hardwoods, mahogany soffets, solid mahogany doors with latches, limestone flooring with hammered & striated limestone accents.

Wailea Highlands Market Update

This year to date, the sales in Wailea Highlands have already tripled the amount of production in 2015; granted, there was only one home that sold in 2015 for $5.7 million. However, with three homes sold (including 4238 Melianani featured above) in 2016 at Wailea Highlands is a promising sign that very high end buyers are willing to fork out that kind of cash. The neighborhood is averaging a sold price of $6,000,000, which is right on point with the community’s price point. The two other homes that sold are considered to be in the lower price point for a Wailea Highlands home:

• $5,300,000- Specifically created for Wailea’s indoor/outdoor living, the architecturally-designed residence has sweeping ocean views, grand spaces surrounded by gracious, oversized lanais, a stunning full-length infinity pool, and lush tropical landscaping, creating one’s own private sanctuary

• $3,800,000-Throughout the course of its time on the market, the property actually went pending in early December of 2015 but fell out of escrow a little before Christmas time. After a quick 3 week cash escrow, the sale represents a fantastic sale for the buyers as it is extremely rare to get into the Wailea Highlands neighborhood for anything under $4M. The property sits on half an acre which is a fantastic lot size for the resort area and the elevation of the neighborhood helps the home take advantage of ocean views.
