Luxury Homes Near The Beach For $18 Million In Barcelona, Maui And Montecito

Coastal and oceanfront properties are coveted for their sunny locales, sandy beaches, and a front-row seat to some of the world’s most spectacular natural views; however, not every coastal home is the same. In this week’s look at the international real estate market, we’re jet-set at finding the ultimate beachfront or coastal property in the $18-million range. From a Midcentury gem in Montecito to a forward-thinking home in Barcelona, here’s a closer look at coastal properties in three locales.

A designer villa near the Mediterranean sea, this modern showplace in the town of Sitges in Barcelona, Spain, leaves little to the imagination with bedroom windows that look directly into the depths of the home’s lap swimming pool. Designed for year-round use, the pool pavilion is enclosed and features a retractable glass roof and a separate spa. Extensive decking further expands the outdoor living space and frames a waterfall-fed pond and teahouse. In another part of the grounds, a conversation pit built into a reflecting pool takes in views of the ocean.

The 73-acre Maui compound is a world in itself and features about half an acre of coastline.

The pinnacle of Keali’i Point, this sprawling compound encompasses 73 blufftop acres between Maui’s Uaoa Bay and Pilate Bay. With nearly half a mile of coastline between the compound and its nearest neighbor, it doesn’t get much more private than the multi-structure property, which has its own PV solar system and a private well. A 25-minute drive to Kahului airport makes it a convenient option for both seasonal and year-round residents.
