Wahi Lani is now offered through Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions, with early bidding underway and the auction scheduled for August 13 through August 25. Listed by Neal Norman of Hawaiʻi Life, the Walker Warner-designed residence was completed in 2022 on Weke Road, just a short walk from Hanalei Bay.
Walker Warner has described Wahi Lani as an “elevated surf shack.” It’s a phrase that captures the way the home was conceived. Rather than treating the beach as something separate from daily life, the design reflects what it means to live just steps from Hanalei Bay.
The practical details tell you who this house was designed for. Board storage sits near the entrance. An outdoor shower and foot-washing station are part of the walk home from the beach. Wide gates open the courtyard to the neighborhood or close for privacy. Nothing feels added for effect. Each element has a purpose.
At the center of the residence is a private courtyard anchored by a Heath Ceramics infinity pool. The kitchen, lanai, and main living spaces all open toward it, making the courtyard the natural gathering place throughout the day. Clerestory windows bring natural light into the lanai, while covered outdoor living spaces make it easy to move between indoors and out.
Shou Sugi Ban charred cedar, honey-toned cedar, and oak define the material palette throughout the residence. The architecture is contemporary, but comfortably at home in Hanalei.
The white sands of Hanalei Bay are only a short walk away. Hanalei Town is an easy bike ride in one direction, the end of the road in the other. Weke Road has long been one of Hanalei’s defining residential streets, where the beach, the neighborhood, and everyday life naturally come together.
The property is listed at $23,000,000 and is being offered through Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions in cooperation with Hawaiʻi Life. Early bidding is now open. Registration closes August 12, with bidding taking place August 13 through August 25. Complete auction information, registration, bidder terms, due diligence materials, and showing information are available through Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions.
