Gated

This impressive 7,475 sq. ft. residence per county records, actually close to 10,000 ft under roof, is on .70 acres and is entered through the community gate and then a private estate gate under blossoming shower trees, gardens of mature plumeria trees, gardenias and a variety of palm and coconut trees. It's warm sun-filled outdoor shower washes away your cares and bathes you in the warmth of the island. Across the large courtyard and circle drive is the luxuriously finished 5 car garage designed to accommodate a second floor Ohana.

Hale Ali'i is aptly and imperially addressed 9 Kapalua Place. The number “9” which once was reserved for the Emperor of China is synonymous with the ideas of “long lasting” and “harmony.” It was blessed by Clifford Nae‘ole, cultural adviser for the Ritz-Carlton and Kapalua. He comes from a long line of first-born children in a native Hawaiian family. Kapalua's powerfully healing spiritual energy was explained, “We Hawaiians believe that you cannot go to the site and sit and talk and not be truthful and honest...for us, healing has a physical manifestation but it comes from the spirit.”
