$12.99M Makana Ola embodies Hawai'i architecture tradition with contemporary influence

MAUI, Hawaii - EntSun -- Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers, the leading luxury real estate brokerage in Hawaii, today announced the availability of Makana Ola, the luxurious .5-acre home on a unique promontory nestled between Makena Cove and Ahihi Bay. Josh Jerman and Peter Neu, Realtors at Hawaii Life, are listing the property for $12.99 million.

Makana Ola is an opportunity to enjoy a truly unique property thanks to deposits from the previous construction of nearby Makena Beach & Golf Club. Because of this, Makana Ola sits perched above Makena Road with a one-of-a-kind vantage point of Ahihi Bay.

Built by Versity software co-founder Bruce Gilpin and partner Paul Moreno, Makana Ola is also an engineering gem, thanks wholly to the delicate vision of architect Jim Neiss. During the design process, Gilpin and Moreno brought Neiss to Bali for inspiration: These details are especially apparent in the home's great room, whose expanse reaches 25 feet skyward and is covered in dense shingling reminiscent of the thatched roofing so abundant in tropical locales.

Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms complete the floorplan for this 4,668 sq. ft. home. Complete with a saltwater spa and heated lap pool, Makana Ola's interior beauty starts with Brazilian cherry and Palimanan limestone floors that lay the groundwork for a sophisticated home design. Ocean and mountain air flows freely through 16 foot-wide pocketing glass doors to create a sublime Hawaiian indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

"Makana Ola means 'a living gift' and it's how we think of the time we've spent here over the last 13 years," said Andy Heily, chief executive officer of Continental Mills and current owner of Makana Ola. "This property and location, past the crowds but close to amenities, was really  special for the family and all our guests. And even though it's time for our family to continue our adventures elsewhere, we'll always have 'Makana Ola' with us, and we wish the same for the next steward of this property."
