Stunning Paradise Home on Kauai Lists for $19.5 Million

One of Hawaii’s most desirable luxury properties has hit the market on the island of Kauai, known worldwide for its lush greenery, pristine coastal waters, and vibrant landscapes. Kula Makai Custom Home J, a private paradise listed within the exclusive Kukui’ula community for $19.5 million, offers both a serene and lavish lifestyle. 

This five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom residence spans 7,307 square feet on a roughly three-quarter-acre lot. Located on a headland with unparalleled ocean views, the home is designed to maximize its breathtaking surroundings, with floor-to-ceiling windows and blended indoor-outdoor living spaces. The single-story design, by Keith Kelly of Kelly & Stone Architects, is complemented by interior designs from Donna Vallone of Vallone Design. 

The architectural brilliance of this home defines luxury island living. “This Kula Makai custom home at Kukui’ula epitomizes luxurious island living with its expansive great room, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces beneath a high vaulted open beam ceiling,” says Suzanne Harding, Managing Broker at Kukui’ula Realty Group. 

Each room exudes sophistication and elegance. The great room is a highlight, featuring a vaulted ceiling and open-concept layout that flows seamlessly to the covered lanai, offering stunning views of the ocean and the nearby golf course. Ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation, this space captures the essence of island living.

The kitchen, designed with the home chef in mind, is a standout feature. Equipped with modern appliances, a spacious island, custom cabinetry, wood paneling, and a marble backsplash, it’s both functional and visually striking. “The chef’s kitchen, with breathtaking white-water views, inspires culinary creativity, making it the ideal setting for crafting new recipes,” adds Harding.

The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat, featuring high vaulted ceilings and incredible ocean views.

The primary ensuite bathroom is a true sanctuary, with dual vanities, a dressing table, a deep soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and a private garden with an outdoor shower. The suite is completed by an expansive walk-in closet. 

The home includes additional luxurious interior features. Three guest bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms and outdoor showers, and a bunk room perfect for children ensure ample space for family and friends. The residence also has an office, a laundry room, and a three-car garage.

Outside, the home is equally impressive. The covered lanai provides a perfect space for relaxation and outdoor dining, while the infinity pool and spa offer an ideal spot to enjoy Kauai’s warm weather. A large outdoor fire pit adds to the property’s appeal for evening gatherings under the stars.

Beyond the home’s features, its location is unbeatable. “This unique homesite in the Kula Makai neighborhood, perched on a historic bluff, exudes a rich heritage. The neighborhood once served as the site of Queen Emma’s summer cottage, chosen for its reputation as having the best weather in Hawaii,” explains Harding.

Residents of this exclusive residential and resort community also enjoy a range of exceptional amenities. Kukui’ula offers access to a private clubhouse, spa, fitness center, pools, tennis courts, and more. The community also features a Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course with panoramic views and is gated with 24/7 security. With over 1,000 acres of land to explore, Kukui’ula is perfect for those seeking ocean access, world-class hiking, and endless outdoor recreation. 

Kula Makai Custom Home J, located at 4078 Noho Kai Street, represents one of Kauai’s premier real estate offerings. Priced at $19.5 million, this opulent home is poised to capture the attention of discerning buyers seeking their own slice of Hawaiian paradise.
