Uniquely positioned to command sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, volcanic mountains, and manicured fairways, this turnkey-furnished residence represents a compelling 1031 exchange opportunity in one of the Big Island’s most coveted resort destinations—and an equally exceptional opportunity to own a true Hawaiian dream home. Offered as a prized end unit overlooking the 14th tee box of the Mauna Lani South Golf Course, the expansive lanai captures breathtaking views in three directions, framing seasonal sunsets and a dynamic island scene of golfers, breaching humpback whales, swaying coconut palms, and native birdlife. Operating as a successful vacation rental, the property offers immediate income continuity - an ideal solution for buyers seeking a smooth and timely replacement property while deferring capital gains. At the same time, the residence presents a clear value-add pathway: with strategic updates or a design-forward renovation, an investor can significantly enhance both rental performance and long-term asset value, transforming the home into a top-tier luxury offering within the Mauna Lani resort market—while simultaneously crafting a personalized island sanctuary for private enjoyment. Whether acquired as a hands-off income replacement or hybrid of personal retreat and investment, this residence offers the rare combination of strong current performance, future upside, and exceptional real-asset prestige—an ideal vehicle for the discerning 1031 buyer seeking both returns and a legacy-quality home in Hawaii. Ideally situated just a short golf cart ride from the full array of Mauna Lani Resort’s world-class amenities, this residence enjoys effortless access to the exclusive Owner’s Beach Club, two championship golf courses, the Auberge and Fairmont Orchid luxury resorts, the Fitness/Tennis Center Pavilion, and a curated collection of dining and shopping experiences at The Shops at Mauna Lani—including the convenience of Foodland Farms.
