Off-Grid Living in Hawaii – it’s becoming more and more popular, especially in the quaint little town known as Haiku on Maui’s North Shore.
Solar power, wind power, water catchment and personal farming – they’re becoming increasingly popular here in Haiku. I don’t know as a fact that there’s anyone who totally lives off the grid, but I do know that more and more people are inching their respective ways in that direction. With Haiku being at the edge of the rainforest, it’s got all the right ingredients for off-grid living if you so choose.
Enjoy a handful of factoids about Haiku:
* The population hovers around 8,000.
* The median resident age is around 38.
* The median household income is around $65,000.
* The median home value is around $650,000 and continues to rise.
* The land area is slightly under 16 square miles.
* 99% of Haiku’s residents are high school graduates. 35% hold bachelor’s degrees, while 17% hold masters’ degrees or higher.
* The average household size is 2.6 people.
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.
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a 2-car garage on 2 level pastoral acres, everything about this property is twice as nice!
This newly built, back-to-basics custom plantation style home on Maui’s majestic north shore features a wrap-around lanai that takes full advantage of panoramic ocean views, glorious sunsets, and outdoor space to spare – all the circumstances for off-grid living are present.
The home is constructed of the finest building materials, with stucco siding and a durable, made-to-last Monier tile roof. Naturally, the gourmet kitchen features the requisite granite counter tops, high-end cabinets and near-new appliances, lighting fixtures and ceiling fans.
With hardwood flooring and travertine throughout, you’ll love the fact that the interior of the home is low-maintenance and durable – you know, Hawaiian style.
The two-car garage and large storage room are a welcome respite from parking spaces, carports, and storage facilities.
Because the property is so large and private and is zoned agricultural, you can create a vision well beyond the one already realized here, and off-grid living can easily be a part of that vision. You may consider the lovely custom home to be your cozy cottage while you build your dream home on this rare ocean-view property. Upon completion of that dream home, the cottage could make a wonderfully comfortable guest house for friends and family, or it could provide rental income. The sky’s the limit.
