Honua Kai’s Hokulani 736 is a 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom unit  offering over 1,200 square feet of interior living space, high-end finishes, Bosch appliances, one of the best locations within the complex, and is being sold fully furnished.

Foreclosure in Kanani Wailea

Wailea is one of the world’s foremost master-planned communities and for many potential buyers, it represents the perfect location for their dream property. Wailea/Makena has not seen many REO’s (foreclosure/bank-owned) properties come on the market, but when they do the interest level is high and those listings are sold fairly quickly. As such, it’d be worth noting that there is a newly listed REO at Kanani Wailea. Priced at $749,900, this 3 bedroom / 2.5 bathroom luxury unit offers 1,984 square feet of living interior, features ocean views, top-of-the-line appliances and upgrades. Compare this to the only other active listing, at $899,000, and its value becomes more apparent.

Kanani Wailea residents enjoy exclusive use of its infinity pool, jacuzzi, fitness center, and privacy of being in a gated community. A short drive away (5 minutes or less), owners can enjoy world-class beaches, five star restaurants and hotels, top rated golf courses, and an array of activities.  This property is the epitome of the perfect mix of single-family residence privacy with the conveniences of condominium ownership. Should you have any questions about this specific listing or any other condo in Wailea, contact me at Alex@MauiRealEstateSearch.com or call 808.385.5034 any time.
