Haiku, Maui, Hawaii: Location, location, location.

Location, location, location.

That phrase was borne of one principle: it rings true.

This executive home in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii commands neverending views of the central valley, the surf on the North Shore, and the West Maui Mountains. 

On clear days, the velvety green island of Molokai, home to the highest sea cliffs in the world, beckons from across the Pailolo Channel.

The property hosts 2.1 acres and features a 3,778 square foot main home and a 775 square foot detached cottage.

The main home has a total of 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The master bedroom, an ensuite bedroom and a third bedroom create a perfect family lifestyle, all on the main upper floor. The lower floor features two more bedrooms. All living areas, whether upstairs or downstairs, offer the same sublime views.

Additionally, Haiku is just minutes to beaches, minutes to hiking, zip lining, horseback riding, biking, stand-up paddleboarding, kiteboarding, and surfing. This small list doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the outdoor activities.

Maui mansion.

Whatever your circumstances, your goals and your philosophies, this property in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii just might fill the bill.

2 acres within walking distance of the ocean’s edge are fully prepared for the new owner. Settle in to the 1000 square foot minimalist plantation home that abundantly provides absolutely everything you would ever need, and call it a day.

Live life drinking in the miracle that is the daily Maui sunset, and want for nothing.

-or-

Take a completely different approach. Settle in to the 1000 square foot minimalist plantation home while you build your dream mansion that will fit inconspicuously amongst the grand homes dotting the hillside. The privacy afforded by the lush tropical foliage that embraces the entire property allows even the biggest of rock stars to step outside – completely Spandex-free –  and do as they wish. The semi-rural locale surely doesn’t hurt the privacy issue.

To sweeten the deal even further, the property sits at the start of one of the most beautiful drives anywhere in the world: the incomparable Road to Hana.

Townhouse For Sale in Maui's Hottest Neighborhood: The Details Are Impeccable

At 1133 square feet over two floors, this 3-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath unit is the largest townhome available at Kehalani Gardens. Without compare, it’s undoubtedly the most upscale. One covered parking space and one open-air parking space are 25 and 50 feet (+/-) from the front door, respectively.

New travertine on the ground floor main living space leads to the new deck, celebrating the indoor / outdoor Hawaiian lifestyle. The new oversized picture window offers 24/7 views of the entry green space while the double sliding glass door overlooks the intimate, owner-controlled, sprinkled private back yard. Fresh paint completes the new-home look and feel. The convenient powder room features custom tile with a modern look, a pocket door, an oversized, new stylish pedal sink, a matching toilet self-closing Toto toilet and new custom lighting.

The light kitchen is perfectly sized for the motivated gourmet in the household. The window overlooks the new wooden deck, which itself is perfectly level to the ground floor – great for easy access to grilling and indoor / outdoor entertaining with the West Maui Mountains as the perfect backdrop. Equipped with reliable GE microwave, GE glass cooktop, GE oven, and GE refrigerator, the kitchen is lovingly maintained since new. The new stainless steel, almost imperceptibly quiet Maytag dishwasher perfectly compliments the stainless steel cabinet hardware and double sink. Stackable Frigidaire laundry with plenty of custom Elfa-type shelving is conveniently located behind closed folding doors within the kitchen space.

The dining area is flooded with natural western light without being subjected to western afternoon temperatures. You see, the sun sets behind the West Maui Mountains early in the afternoon, so the owners of this townhouse get the benefits of the western facing light without the heat.

Head down the freshly painted bright stairway from the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom upper floor and head out the ground floor front door to leisurely walk to the new Foodland, The Coffee Bean, Long’s, Walgreen’s, Pu’u Kukui Elementary School and the new McDonald’s. Kaiser Permanente, Safeway, Starbucks, Iao Middle School, Baldwin High School and Maui Memorial Hospital are less than two miles away.

The second-floor master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, a walk-in closet, a sliding-door closet, and plenty of natural light. Overlooking the community’s green space, the newly carpeted room feels bright and open.

The two second floor guest bedrooms (one of which is currently being used as an office/study), have mirrored closets, one of which has ample Elfa-style shelving. Both rooms overlook at the West Maui Mountains. All the upstairs rooms and hallways have new carpet.

The third bedroom, being used by the current owners as an office / study, overlooks the West Maui Mountains. As with every room on the upper floor, the third bedroom features new carpet.

The second-floor master bath is spacious and overlooks Kehalani Gardens’ green space. As with the second bath and the ground-floor powder room, the master bath features custom lighting with mood dimmers. New granite countertops, high-end, heavy nickel plumbing fixtures in sinks and shower/ whirlpool tub definitely speak of quality and care. The self-closing Toto toilet is only one of three in the house. The brand-new custom tile creation places this home at the top of the desirability list for Kehalani Gardens.

With the guest bathroom, nothing was spared in ensuring the details. Heavy nickel fixtures, granite countertop, new Toto toilet and high-end sink feel heavy and solid. The unique curved shower road has two tracks – one for the shower curtain on the outside of the shower and one that can discreetly hide hanging towels and drying swimsuits on the inside of the shower. The custom tile, installed in May of 2015, waterfalls down from the highest point of the walls onto the floor, creating a cohesive, spa-like feel.

Call, text or drop me a line, and I'll be happy to schedule a private showing.
