The hallmarks of a luxury real estate property in Hawaii

Blessed with the world’s most breathtaking beaches, lush forests, and majestic volcanoes, Hawaii draws vacationers from all over the world, with not a few eventually deciding to call it their home. For the most discerning of this lot, luxury real estateproperties are the only choice for their new home.

The new residents of Hawaii are set to experience the best of the Aloha State from their new lavish mansions, villas, or condominiums, which offer the following enviable features:

Stunning views. Hawaii’s elite relish the spectacular Hawaiian scenery from the floor-to-ceiling windows of their property, which is situated in a prime location. Because of this, every day would easily feel like a vacation. They would be treated to the lovely views of the Pacific Ocean, the white sand beaches, the verdant rolling hills, or exquisitely designed golf courses as soon as they wake up, and on lazy days, simply let the time pass while watching the sun rise on the horizon.

Solid structure. The best luxury real estate properties boast of good architecture. They have solid foundation and structure that are built especially to withstand the tropical climate on this side of the States. Especially for those in oceanfront locations, first-rate homes must be designed with the humidity, harsh sunlight, corrosive saline air, and very windy conditions in mind–high ceilings, sturdy choices for the materials (slate or stainless steel for roofing; granite, marble, or limestone, for the countertops and flooring; impact-rated glass for windows, etc.). In other words, the finest properties must be built to last, and will only tend to appreciate in value over the years.

Custom, high-end kitchens and furnishings. A sense of community and a love of food bind the people of Hawaii. In the weekends, many of them enjoy hosting gatherings of all kinds – from casual barbecue parties by the poolside for the whole family, to soiree garden parties, to elaborate adults-only sit-down dinners. To be able to host these events in the posh neighborhoods, it is quite important for the estates to be appointed with the best custom, high-end furnishings and cooking provisions: well-built cabinetry that’s meant to impress guests, a full wet bar, a spacious dining area, top-of-the-line kitchen appliances (refrigerator, freezer, and range), and an outdoor grill.
