At $15,900,000, this property is the most expensive sold (so far) in 2007, topping the $11 million dollar beachfront lot on Kailuana Place, which was sold earlier this year in Kailua.

With too many gorgeous custom features to mention, including amazing views of Diamondhead, this is a truly spectacular property.
