Hawaii. Maui, specifically. I can’t remember where I heard or read the stats, but I believe our isolated island out here in the middle of the Pacific has something like fourteen microclimates.
Situated at the end of a lonely road about a mile off of Maui’s famed Hana Highway, 61 S. Honokala Road enjoys two of these microclimates. (See the palm-lined road from the mid- to lower left of the photo? That's the drive to the property, ending at the green-roofed structure in the near center of the photo).
Directly behind the property is the Ko’olau Forest Reserve, thick with the tall shade trees. This area is cool and shady, much like the woods that Little Red Riding Hood likely skipped through on her way to Grandma’s house.
In front of the property is a steep descent into a picturesque tropical gulch lined with coconut palm trees, banana trees and every shade of green you can imagine. Oh, and blue. I can’t forget to mention the blue. That’s where the sky and the forever views of the ocean meet. This area is warm and sunny, with cool breezes that flow up from the gulch over the land.
If you’ve ever considered building your dream home on an extremely private Hawaiian oasis, you owe it to yourself to bring a picnic blanket and your thoughts for a few hours, if for no other reason than to allow the immense and rare beauty of this property to fully envelop you.
It may just be that dream you’ve been dreaming all along.
