Discover 9 Bay Drive in Kapalua

Situated on almost 10 acres in the heart of West Maui, 9 Bay Drive is a coastal estate unlike any other. This single-story home includes more than 12,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space with an infinity pool and an incredible array of fine features and amenities. This remarkable piece of luxury Maui real estate is for sale today at $41.9 million, an 18 million dollar reduction from its previous list price.

An Exquisite and Rare Piece of Maui

While you can find a variety of homes for sale in Kapalua in subdivisions like Pineapple Hill and the Plantation Estates, the 9 Bay Drive estate is in a league of its own. One of its most extraordinary features is its setting. Its 10 acres sits on a peninsula against another 12 acres of protected land. This creates a sense that you are in a tropical oasis far removed from the hustle and bustle of island life.

From many vantage points on the grounds and in the home, you can appreciate breathtaking views of Honolua Bay, Lanai, and Mokolai. The grounds include a sprawling yard that takes you to the edge of a lava rock cliff for a swim in the famous bay known as Cliffhouse across from the Montage Residences. Adding to the estate’s prestigious landscape are a private lighthouse, Hawea Point, and the Dragon’s Teeth. 

Living Spaces That Will Amaze

This piece of luxury real estate on Maui includes 6,645 square feet of indoor living space. The home has eight bedrooms as well as 8.5 bathrooms and a host of special features. One wing of the home features four ocean view guest suites, which each offer brilliant island views in the distance and private lanais. The great room opens up to a huge lanai and is only steps away from a huge infinity pool and a hot tub.

The master suite has two private bathrooms that feature floating tubs and onyx on the shower stall walls. The home also includes a beautiful indoor kitchen, an outdoor kitchen, a game room, a steam room, caretaker’s quarters, a private gym, and a media room. Because this enormous home is on a single story with sprawling grounds, it has a resort-like feel that is easy to fall in love with. Other notable features on the property are outdoor showers, a koi pond, a gated entryway, a three-car garage, and a separated lookout house near the cliff.

Recently Remodeled Design Elements

The lovely home at 9 Bay Drive was originally constructed in 1996. It was later remodeled throughout 2016 and 2017 to modernize and refresh the space and it was once again remodeled in 2021. The remodeling efforts included creating a more open floorplan by removing the small windows and old wooden doors in some of the rooms. These features were replaced by large windows with expanded eaves and aluminum doors.

The great room was enhanced with Moca limestone flooring across the interior space and throughout the lanai area. The result of this improvement is a large, indoor-outdoor area that flows together cohesively. In the kitchen, the counters were updated with quartzite and granite. Illumination was also added to the island and table to enhance aesthetics. 

The Home’s History

As one of the most coveted and prestigious homes for sale in Kapalua, it is important to note that the home has been listed for sale several times over the last few decades. It sold for $24 million in November 2020 after being listed for $37.5 million in 2018. Getting the price right is an important part of selling a home or condo in Maui. In this instance, many believe the recent price reduction has brought the price closer to market value, but its also such an extraordinary property and the pool of buyers at this price point is very small. 

The estate at 9 Bay Drive has a decadent yet laid-back feel with exquisite materials and amenities throughout. While the home is stunning, its undeniably beautiful grounds and views add to its relentless appeal. With its extraordinary appeal, this is a home that may not soon come back on the market after its next sale. Now is the time to take a closer look at this home before it is off the market.
