Introducing the fantastic "Opalessence Estate" at Makena-Wailea... Opalessence Wailea is a newly-completed retro-modern 5 bedroom 6.5 bath oceanfront estate home. Opalessence is a one-of-a-kind architectural wonder in close proximity to Polo Beach, a postcard-perfect golden sand swimming beach. Also, it is located just 200 yards from the Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel and Villas, so it's easy to grab a bottle of wine or a to-go gourmet lunch to enjoy on the private terrace of your own Wailea estate. You also have immediate access to the paved Wailea walking promenade. Stroll for miles along the ocean on a scenic path designated just for walkers that follows the curvy and scenic Wailea Resort coastline.

Opalessense resides behind a gated entry with an expansive courtyard in the center of the estate that is large enough for a 52" long heated lap pool with sunken in-ground oversized spa, and grass lawn and garden area. The courtyard basks in sunshine most of the day. The pool is sheltered from afternoon Maui trade-winds and also can be enjoyed with full privacy. A large water features begins at the entrance and trickles through the courtyard for design interest and soothing waterscapes. The contemporary styling of Opalessence is unequalled on the island of Maui. There is a special prestige in being able to enjoy this visually fascinating home that only a few special guests have experienced.

The courtyard is surrounded by a multi-dwelling layout that consists of a main oceanfront dwelling with an elongated side extension, and a separate mountain view dwelling. A fully and professionally equipped private gym takes up the entire second level of the mountain view wing. The lower level of the mountain view wing has a second living room for child play or teen gatherings and for casual poolside dining. Throughout Opalessence, exceptionally high ceilings, multi-story glass windows and art and materials sourced from Australia and New Zealand highlight this dramatic residence. Retracting walls draw the ocean, the sun, the surf, and the foliage into the living environment. From the ocean-side great room flows an expansive emerald green grass lawn that terminates at the ocean's edge, marked by a border of white coral and surf-shined pebbles.

Very near to this residence is the The Fairmont Kea Lani Resort that provides overflow housing for a nanny, security personnel or personal assistant. The Fairmont has a great deli/cafe, outstanding Pan-Asian cuisine alfresco restaurant Ko, Nick`s Fishmarket for formal and romantic evening dining, a spa/salon, and boutique shops. Also nearby is the Wailea Tennis Center, the Makena Tennis Center, and four 18-hole ocean view golf courses.

From Opalessence you have two options to reach a sandy swimming beach. You just walk one block in either direction to Polo Beach or to White Rock Beach. World famous Wailea Beach, which hosts the Four Seasons and Grand Wailea Resorts, is a 15 minute stroll along the ocean front Wailea walking promenade.

Back at Opalessence, nothing but a wide-open grass lawn comes between you and the brilliant blue Pacific Ocean. By choosing this residence you enjoy an unsurpassed location decorated with original world-class contemporary art, excellent amenities in the expansive stainless steel gourmet kitchen, delightful sunsets, and convenient access to Wailea Resort.
