This home is owned by world famous food author and former owner of Health Valley Foods. Of his over 10 published books he is the author of two massive volumes of THE WORLD'S HEALTHIEST FOODS. The house is a Tom Rixey architectural design. The house went through a six month refurbishment prior to going on the market so the condition is superb. While the exterior design is modern Mediterranean with a clay tile roof and stucco exterior, the interior is classical European with polished travertine floors, art deco columns with touches of Hawaii with an etched glass staircase with Birds of Paradise. Real Property taxes are $7827.48 per year. To enter the house through the golden oak double doors you walk over a long travertine tiled bridge over several ponds and four cascading water falls and rock-scape accentuated by a huge mural of a Hawaii jungle with exotic birds and fauna of the islands. This is a very dramatic feature before entering the house. Once inside the foyer you are captivated by the spectacular sweeping ocean, island and full west Maui Mountain views that only the upper Heleuma Place front row houses have. This view is by far one of the best Wailea Resort offers and must be seen to be believed. There is a formal dining room, an informal dining room with a wet bar that share an outdoor lanai with an auto sprinkled herb garden. The gourmet kitchen is truly amazing and was designed for the food author owner. The artistic accents and detailing is extraordinary. The large living room and kitchen open up to a huge covered lanai to enjoy those Hawaiian sunsets 365 days a year. There is an upstairs master suite with a fabulous marble bathroom, large walk-in closet and another outdoor lanai. Frescoed illuminated ceilings adorn this house throughout. There are three full baths and two half baths. All unique. There are 4,035 square feet under roof interior living space with approximately 900 SF of covered lanais. Four zone central A/C, speakers throughout the house. Downstairs also boasts commanding ocean views and has a large family room with wet bar, a second very large master suite and two other bedrooms, one is used as an office. There is a 5th (bed)room for a nanny, relative or live in caregiver next to the laundry room. There are 10 rooms in all. Perfect for a large or extended family. There is even a meditation room inside the downstairs master suite. There is a large swimming pool and jacuzzi. All the exterior travertine is brand new. The pool
