Searching for an estate on a world-famous beach?
An oceanfront home that sits on a half-acre of land on Lanikai Beach might be what you're looking for. With a $16 million asking price, it currently is the most expensive property on the market in the Lanikai neighborhood.
Listing agent Anne Oliver with Coldwell Banker Realty says the property is one-of-a-kind.
“You don’t often find a home in Lanikai that features this level of privacy and direct access to the ocean," Oliver said in an announcement from CBR. "This kind of property, which defines the standard for luxury, rarely comes on the market.”
Located at 958 Mokulua Dr., the property has 7,000 square feet of interior living space, five ensuite bedrooms and four full- and one half-baths. Among its features is an "ultra-spacious" primary suite with a private ocean-view lānai; an open-concept kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and custom finishes; a courtyard pool and expansive oceanside lawn, CBR says. You can find the full listing here.
Although the open kitchen is a "special, central feature of the home," Oliver told Aloha State Daily in an emailed response to questions that her favorite feature is the "expansive, luxurious primary suite" that looks down at the beach, "and I could easily spend a week without leaving it at all!"
As for what makes the property a rarity, Oliver told ASD it's one of the few remaining large parcels on the sandy beach in Lanikai, found "on the choice center spot of the beach" and set back from shore with an "expansive lawn ensuring privacy and a peaceful, tranquil sanctuary. This is Pu’uhonua."
"This is a once-in-a-generation legacy property so the hope is that a young family will be the buyers to carry on its legacy for the next generation enjoying the beach, the ocean, kayaking, canoe paddling and the unique sense of community that is Lanikai," she said.
Lanikai is often considered among the world's best beaches. In 2024, Travel + Leisure declared it the best in the U.S. and the No. 14 best beach in the world.
