Kahala, the new Clareville waterfront four years in the making, has been sold with its undisclosed sale price likely to be close to $12 million.

The north facing 25 metre beachfront comes with tri-level home on its cascading 1,663 square metre Hudson Parade site.

Much was made in the marketing of its kitchen, designed by Porcelanosa Studio and finished with Spanish granite benchtops, mother of pearl splashbacks and Miele appliances.

At the water's edge it boasts boatshed with the sale including a 6.1 metre amphibious sealegs boat thrown in.

There was also a glass mosaic infinity edge gas heated pool and spa.

It was listed last April through LJ Hooker Avalon agent David Watson with property columnist Margie Blok writing its grounds came with a meditation hut and a pizza oven.

The property on Sydney's northern beaches peninsula had been listed at more than $12.5 million by David Desmarchelier, chief executive at Boartes Consulting, a security company that had contracts for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.

Its 2007 purchase was $9.15 million. It was bought by an Australia expatriate.
