Two Neighboring $9.9 Million Oceanfront Homes Just Listed in Kauai’s South Shore—And They Can Form an Ultra-Luxe Compound

Tucked into a private-club community in Hawaii called Kukui‘ula, two luxury homes just hit the market on Kauai's South Shore.

Set right on the ocean, and set among lush tropical vegetation, this walkable community is only 25-minute drive from Lihue Airport.

"The close proximity of everything is very convenient. You’re not having to spend a lot of time in the car,” says Pancho Sullivan of Hawaii Life, who is co-listing the two homes with Haunani Sullivan as well as Suzanne Harding and Jeff Skinner of Kukui‘ula Realty Group. The asking price sits at $9,900,000 each.

Both were built in 2025 and have never been occupied. Aepo Nei 18 and Aepo Nei 19 are neighboring 3,372-square-foot homes with four bedrooms and 4.5 baths each. They can be purchased together, to create a private compound, or by separate buyers.

Even better, the homes are fully furnished and stocked with items like bed and bath linens, beach towels, and everything you need to cook and serve in the kitchen, such as bowls, plates and glasses.

But it’s the design by Brazil-based Architects+CO that’s truly unique. Kauai Bahia Construction and their in-house material company, Kayu, handled all of the finish material production and millwork installation.

"Brazil is known for incredible resort-club communities," says Pancho. "We actually traveled to Brazil to look at some of the clubs they designed. It’s the same tropical feel (as Hawaii) that blends in really well with nature."

Aepo Nei 18’s layout features connected pavilions while Aepo Nei 19’s living spaces open onto a lawn courtyard. Design features at both include deep roof overhangs, walls of glass and multiple outdoor living spaces such as an infinity-edge pool; jacuzzi; swim-in, swim-out sauna; and in-water fire pit.

"They both have beautiful 180-degree ocean views looking across the Tom Weiskopf-designed golf course. The swim-in, swim-out dry sauna facing the ocean is a unique feature," says Pancho, adding that the usage of natural materials like lava stone, coral and teak "fit into the landscape very beautifully."

Referred to as the Garden Island, Kauai is home to about 73,000 people.

"We get the majority of the island’s sunshine down here," says Haunani, about the South Shore. "People flock here for the beaches and the sunshine, Hawaiian monk seals on the sand, and a lot of ocean activity including surfing.

"A lot of people that venture to Kauai are adventure seekers. We have great hiking. You can get on a boat and dive on the Nā Pali Coast and do ziplining and ATV tours."

Stand-up paddleboarding, diving and fishing are two other activities easy to do in this community.

Homeowners become club members with access to dining, a pool, spa (boasting a steam rook and lava-rock dry sauna), pickleball and tennis courts, and an 18-hole golf course.

"There’s an incredible gym with classes daily, from yoga to sound bathing to fitness training," says Pancho. "All of that is part of your club membership. It’s a great place to be in tune with nature and get healthy."

A 10-acre organic garden features a farm stand as well as opportunities to create floral bouquets. There’s also a conscious effort to honor Hawaiian history through cultural-heritage walks; sunrise ceremonies; hula performances; and classes in Hawaiian featherwork, quilting and basket weaving.

“Members who are part of the club become life-long friends,” says Haunani. “They’re going to each other’s second homes and weddings. They travel around the world together.”

The community also organizes annual golf and pickleball tournaments for members, and three golf courses are within a seven-minute drive.

Another incentive is that the community’s zoned as a Vacation Destination Area.

This means properties can join the short-term rental pool, for minimum seven-night stays.

"Some of the owners put their homes in the rental pool and block out time for themselves and their families. That’s a great added benefit," says Haunani, as few club communities on Kauai allow this.

The Sullivans think the buyer will likely hail from the West Coast, enticed by a direct flight from hubs in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Phoenix and Denver that arrive on the island by mid-day.

“Kukui‘ula is a great place for families to gather and spend time together. We see a lot of members bring their entire families so they can vacation together multiple times per year,” says Pancho.

“With all these activities it’s easy to curate an incredible vacation with the convenience of being on property. A lot of people enjoy coming here and decompressing.”
