If you’re looking for surf and sand above all else, the spectacular natural beauty of Honolulu will give you everything you could hope for with this recently listed Kaalawai Place mansion being the perfect spot from which to enjoy it all. The freshly finished build is located on Cromwell’s Beach and doesn’t come cheap, but with an infinity pool and all of the luxurious amenities you might expect from such a palatial home, there’s a lot to justify the price.
The residence was recently completed by Tom Nicholson, a property developer with an impressive resume constructing no less than 27 properties across the islands of Hawaii, who purchased the roughly 0.3-acre lot for US$6.9 million (AU$10,274,859) in 2007. After Nicholson’s magic has been worked over the four years the build took to complete, the compound spans a total of 7,500 square feet with the main residence boasting four bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms.

The real draw of the home, however, is the more than 22 metres of private beachfront that arrives with the sale, serving up uninterrupted views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean and Black Point peninsula in the distance. Its new owner will either be able to enjoy this view directly on the white sand shores or from the large infinity pool flanked by lush tropical gardens, right next to an alfresco dining area.
“We have spent five years meticulously designing and constructing this project,” said Nicholson about the construction of the home.
“When designing this property, we looked to maximize the spectacular ocean views, 75 feet of beach frontage and embrace island living.”
In addition to the Honolulu views and the pool, this Kaalawai Place mansion also features a library, games room, private office, home gym, and an internal elevator. The living space serves up the perfect place to entertain guests, featuring a chef’s kitchen, butler’s pantry, and an enormous Italian stone-topped island bench so you’ll never wonder where your next meal is coming from.
The property is currently listed by Beth Chang of Coldwell Banker Realty, with an asking price of US$26.995 million (AU$40.167 million). If you’ve been lusting after a sea change, this could be it.
