### Agent Description
La'i Loa: Where Elevated Design Meets the Spirit of Wailea There are homes that offer a view, and there are homes that make the view part of your everyday life. From this beautifully positioned residence at La'i Loa, the Pacific stretches across the horizon, with expansive ocean vistas, neighboring islands, and Maui's legendary sunsets creating a backdrop that never grows old. Completed in 2023, this exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers 1,742 square feet of intentionally designed interior living space and an impressive and rare 424-square-foot lanai that seamlessly extends the home outdoors. Elevated above the landscape along with its convenient ground-floor location, the residence captures cooling trade winds, abundant natural light, and the effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines distinctive Wailea living. Behind the front door, every detail reflects a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and design. The interiors are a curated collection of bespoke finishes and designer elements, with approximately $1 million invested in furnishings, artwork, lighting, and custom appointments. Hand-painted Italian wall coverings, rare Maya Romanoff wallpaper, hand-blown glass light fixtures, custom Italian furnishings, and carefully selected materials create a residence that feels more like a private gallery than a condominium. The gourmet kitchen is equally impressive, featuring premium appliances and sophisticated finishes designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. Motorized shades, smart-home compatibility, and seamless technology integration provide modern convenience without compromising the home's refined aesthetic. The expansive lanai becomes a natural extension of the living space, complete with an outdoor grilling area ideal for sunset dinners, morning coffee overlooking the ocean, or gathering with friends as the sky transforms with evening color. Strategically positioned within the community, this residence enjoys a uniquely private setting surrounded by mature Monkey Pod trees and lush tropical landscaping, creating a serene, treehouse-like atmosphere. Its location offers a heightened sense of tranquility, minimal through-traffic, and exceptional privacy, making it one of the most desired locations within the community. La'i Loa has quickly become one of Wailea's most coveted addresses, offering a rare balance of luxury, privacy, and modern construction. Each boutique building contains only five residences and features secured access and a private garage, creating a sense of exclusivity seldom found in condominium living. Residents enjoy resort-inspired amenities including an infinity-edge pool, fitness center, and clubhouse, all surrounded by impeccably maintained grounds. For those seeking a primary residence, the convenience of single-level living combined with Wailea's world-class lifestyle is hard to overstate. For those searching for a second home, this is a true lock-and-leave retreat designed for comfort and ease. And for investors, the property's luxury positioning, nearly new construction, and strong long-term rental appeal create a compelling ownership opportunity in one of Maui's most desirable communities. Offered fully furnished-with most furnishings, artwork, and designer pieces included-this residence allows the next owner to step immediately into a lifestyle that has already been thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. In a market where exceptional inventory is increasingly difficult to find, opportunities like this are rare. New construction. Boutique exclusivity. World renowned interior design finishes. Expansive ocean views. And one of the most sought-after locations in Maui. This is more than a home. It is a front-row seat to everything that makes Wailea extraordinary. ALL FURNISHINGS INCLUDED IN THE SALES PRICE EXCEPT A FEW PERSONAL ITEMS.
