Concierge Auctions Places Premier Island Residence & Lot in Kauai, Hawaii Under Contract Prior to Auction
KAUAI, HAWAII – August 24, 2010 – Pueo Point, a premier ocean bluff residence and adjacent lot located in prestigious Anini Vista on the North Shore of Kauai, was placed under contract prior to the scheduled auction date of August 23, NYC-based Concierge Auctions has announced. Conducted in cooperation with Neal Norman of Koa Properties, the auction’s marketing and sales efforts generated over 200 showings and 128 qualified buyer prospects in less than six weeks. The transactions mark 11 successful sales of luxury Hawaiian properties by Concierge Auctions in less than one year, totaling nearly $40 million.

“Our selling clients were committed to ensuring Pueo Point would be the next estate to sell on Kauai, and we were pleased to help accomplish their goals,” stated George Graham, CEO of Concierge Auctions. “The absolute format of this auction, coupled with the impeccable quality and location of the property, generated significant interest from a number of A-list celebrities, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and other qualified parties. It was a testament to the power of our process – present a premier asset, set a deadline, and force buyers to act. Ultimately, this buyer stepped forward with an offer that was so compelling the seller decided to cancel the auction and go straight to contract.”

"I was very pleased with the ability of Concierge Auctions and Koa Properties to attract qualified bidders, even in these fragile economic times," stated owner and real estate investor Michele Hughes, of the Michele Hughes Company. "We decided to accept this offer due to the quality of the buyer and his interest in purchasing both parcels. Our vision when developing Pueo Point was to respect the natural surroundings and mirror them with a casual living environment, which I am thrilled will now enrich the lives of its new owners."

Pueo Point consists of a three bedroom, three bathroom designer-appointed residence, perfectly situated on 1.32 acres, and an adjacent 1.67-acre lot. The parcels combined have a 2/3 undivided interest in an additional four acres of perfectly manicured common area with easy access to Anini Beach below.

“The Concierge Auctions team is extremely professional and skilled,” stated Norman. “After working alongside them on the successful auction of two Kealia Kai properties in March, I was excited to partner again on this sale. I will certainly continue to recommend the Concierge Auctions process to other luxury real estate owners who seek to sell their properties within a predetermined timeframe."

Premier Ocean Bluff Residence 
Private, Secluded, Elegant Island Living
Perfectly situated on prestigious Anini Vista Drive, Pueo Point redefines elegant island living. Private and secluded, it is far from the crowds and stress of everyday life - a distinctive, tranquil, meticulous masterpiece that blends modern convenience with Hawaiian charm.

The home is located on 1.32 acres, and the adjoining lot encompasses 1.67 acres. Each features panoramic ocean, valley, and mountain views and owns a 1/3 undivided interest in an additional four acres: your own private sanctuary of exquisitely landscaped gardens and trails. Swim in a calm blue lagoon... take a peaceful walk along the beach... or watch the spinner dolphins - and in the winter season, humpback whales.

Estate Landscaping
Kauai, the "Garden Island," is a celebration of the senses. Pueo Point takes full advantage of the romance and drama inherent in living amid such extravagant natural beauty.

Every tree and flower has been planted as part of a carefully developed master plan. Bird of paradise, bougainvillea, ginger, hibiscus, heliconia, gardenia, pikake and plumeria offer bursts of color and intoxicating fragrances; a multitude of palms sway in the tropical breezes.

Beyond functionality and design is the setting - the way the light reflects, the stars sparkle, the moon glows and the water shimmers.... this is the experience of living at Pueo Point.

Distinctive Details
'E Komo Mai means welcome in Hawaiian, and Pueo Point floods the visitor with a sense of warmth and comfort. Simple yet elegant, with lavish attention to detail, the three bedroom, three bath home - featured on the cover of Luxury Homes Magazine - offers an expansive and functional layout accentuated with fresh, sophisticated design.

With Hawaii's breathtaking palette as a focal point, Pueo Point is a symphony of natural materials: custom hardwood doors and cabinetry, cedar shake roofing and copper gutters, coral rock, marble baths and granite kitchen counters. Maple flooring adds warmth and character to the interior living space, and woven wood window coverings add privacy. Exterior Ipe wood lanais and travertine tile lead to the gracefully designed pool and spa, accented with Italian mosaic tile.

A seamless marriage of indoor and outdoor living, the home's floor-to-ceiling, custom wood pocket doors (with European "lift and slide" hardware) create "rooms without walls." Skylights bring in natural light; while the deep overhangs of the split-pitch roof, reminiscent of renowned Hawaiian architect Charles Dickey, keep the sun's rays from penetrating the interior while simultaneously providing generous outdoor living spaces. Gentle trade breezes and ceiling fans provide natural airflow - a healthy alternative to air conditioning.

High quality finishes include Minka Aire fans, Rocky Mountain hardware and Boyd designer lighting. The bathrooms are adorned with marble slabs, Dornbracht and Duravit plumbing and hardware, and a glass vessel sink crafted by world famous artist Steve Rubino.

Modern amenities include a multiplex surround sound system in every room, a water purification system, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with a Subzero refrigerator and wine cooler, Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Italian granite slab countertops, and custom teak cabinetry.

From the sprays of white orchids at the front door to the cleverly concealed, built-in entertainment center and the custom shoe racks in the bedroom closets, no detail has been overlooked.

Bask in the sunshine beside the expansive, lagoon-style pool and spa while overlooking dramatic views of the Pacific, where the skyline meets the horizon over Anini Beach. Pueo Point's owner and innovator, the Michele Hughes Company, has created a perfect fusion of contemporary elegance with the relaxed informality that is synonymous with the Island lifestyle.  Pueo Point:  simply, impeccable.

About Kauai, HI
If there were a Heaven on Earth, its name would be Kauai.  Formed millions of years ago by a now dormant volcano, Hawaii's oldest, northernmost, and least populated of the major Islands sits amidst the vast, clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, only 20 minutes by air from Honolulu.

With lavish landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and a plethora of beaches, it's no wonder Hawaii's "Garden Island" has been called one of the world's most dramatic destinations. Hike along the 3,000-foot-high sea cliffs of the Kalalau Trail, kayak down the emerald green Wailua River, or explore any of Kauai's wondrous white sand beaches. Blessed with an idyllic year-round climate, Kauai is a recreation-lover's Eden: its sparkling azure waters are perfect for any ocean activity, from snorkeling to deep-sea fishing to sailing.

Sculpted by mountain ranges and ocean horizons, Kauai is also home to nine of the best - and most challenging - golf courses in the world. Kauai's five major resorts include nearby Princeville, with two stimulating 18-hole and 27-hole courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones, Jr.

About Kauai's North Shore
Kauai's dramatic North Shore - the crown jewel of the island - boasts some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Rugged mountains, white-plumed waterfalls and verdant valleys give way to breathtaking beaches, alluring coastlines, and stunning sea cliffs.

Perched atop the island's northernmost point, Kilauea's historic lighthouse is situated within a 200-acre preserve - home to a vast array of wildlife including frigate birds, albatross, and Hawaiian Nene geese. The dramatic bluffs provide an excellent vantage point to view humpback whales, monk seals and spinner dolphins in the ocean below.

The North Shore also features the upscale Princeville Resort, home of world-class amenities. Shop, dine - play a round of golf on the legendary Prince course - or head to the quaint and charming town of Hanalei, dotted withcolorful stores, galleries and restaurants. Famous for its spectacular beauty, Hanalei Bay is a long half-moon of sandy beach at the base of a cliff on one side and narrowing into a rocky point on the other.

A few miles further lies extraordinary Lumahai Beach, where Mitzi Gaynor "washed that man right out of her hair" in the movie "South Pacific." Continuing north over seven one-lane bridges, you'll pass the lovely Limahuli Gardens and the world-renowned "wet" and "dry" caves before the road ends at Ke'e Beach: the gateway to the magnificent Na Pali Coast. Inaccessible by car, this 17-mile stretch of coastline features deep green valleys, jagged cliffs, sea caves, waterfalls and stunning beaches.

About Anini Vista
One of the North Shore's most exclusive developments, Anini Vista boasts unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and luminous sunsets over Mt. Makana - the legendary "Bali Hai."

Located on a bluff, surrounded by acres of tropical paradise, Anini Vista's "natural" amenities are tranquility and privacy. Protected by the longest reef in the Hawaiian Islands, the coastline below offers the safest, most protected beaches on the North Shore - perfect for snorkeling, swimming, beachcombing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, fishing and kayaking.

Just minutes from Princeville, Anini Vista is a stone's throw - but a world away - from shopping, dining, tennis and golf. Book a treatment at the luxurious Halele'a Spa in the nearby St. Regis Princeville Resort, or make a reservation at one of the hotel's fine restaurants.

Sweeping views of Hanalei Bay surround the new Kauai Grill at the St. Regis, helmed by Michelin awarded chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Draped in a rich palate of cognac, ruby, leather, bronze, and zebra wood, the Kauai Grill offers a selection of Jean-Georges' finest dishes from his portfolio of restaurants around the world.

A mere twenty-five miles from the Lihue Aiport, served by eight air carriers including American Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways, among others, with direct flights from Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, and an easy commute to Honolulu and the outer islands, it's no wonder why celebrities and other vacationers find Anini Vista the perfect Island escape from the everyday world.
