ocated on Maui's northwestern tip, Kapalua is a 22,000-acre nature preserve boasting white-sand beaches, marine sanctuaries, award-winning golf courses, luxury hotels, and high-end real estate. One of its most prized properties has hit the market for $16.6 million, courtesy of Victoria Caputo, who purchased it with her late husband Anthony.

    The 2.65-acre estate, situated on a cliff overlooking Honokahua Bay near the Plantation Golf Course, features an 8,252-square-foot main residence with six bedrooms and two bathrooms. A separate guest house, or Ohana residence, spans 1,025 square feet with two bedrooms and one bathroom.

    The modern design of the main residence incorporates island elements like Koa finishes, local stone, and teak wood, prioritizing indoor-outdoor living with nearly every room connecting to a terrace or patio. The home boasts Venetian plastered walls, custom wood, and Berti Pavimenti Legno flooring, as well as cutting-edge tech features including a Control4 system and solar energy.

    Upon entering the double-front doors, you're greeted by a stone-lined foyer that leads to the double-height great room with sliding glass doors opening onto a patio. The living room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, built-in shelving, and Koa wood finishes on the ceiling. A staircase connects to the second level, where most bedrooms are located, including an impressive primary suite with private terrace.

    The sleek kitchen has a central eat-in island and prep area, offering top-of-the-line amenities and views of the surrounding landscaping. Other features include a gym, saltwater pool, hot tub, and 100 yards of lawn space. The Ohana residence offers two bedrooms, one bathroom, lanai, dedicated laundry area, garage, and exterior parking.

    As Kapalua prepares to host the PGA Sentry Golf Tournament in early January, residents will enjoy breathtaking views of the golf course from their private estate.
