Norman Rockwell and Maui, Hawaii


Norman Rockwell and Maui, Hawaii
_______________________

Did you know that Norman Rockwell, the artist famed for his depictions of everyday Americana has but a single Hawaiian-themed masterpiece to his credit? It was created in 1956 and bears the name "The Thing to do with Life is Live It!" The painting recently sold for $1.625 million through a Christie's auction.

How magnificent that such a level-headed eye that clearly recognized the beauty in everyday simplicity should choose our rare and unique land as inspiration for one of his works. 

I can only wonder what he might have created had he come to Maui in today's age and spent a little time in our little town of Haiku. Would he be drawn to the cute storefronts? The horses? The gulches? The tropical greenery? A seaside cliff? Would he sit somewhere on Giggle Hill and listen for the sounds of children's laughter drifting on the wind? I can almost picture the painting of a mischievous, shirtless little boy antagonizing a gecko that was unfortunate enough to get caught.

That's exactly the kind of life that Haiku offers, even in 2016. There's no pretentiousness. Everyone knows everyone else. You can walk to the post office and from there, walk directly to the grocery store.

If this kind of lifestyle appeals to you, give me a call. I'm not so great at painting, but I will be happy to show you a unique octagon home peacefully nestled in Haiku's serene, evergreen setting. You can see the home at http://www.29DoorOfFaithRoad.com.

Haiku, Maui, Hawaii: The Start of it All.


When heading east out of Maui’s airport town of Kahului, the true Maui adventure begins on The Road to Hana. You’ll pass through the eclectic, Bohemian town of Paia. That’s Ho’okipa on your left, known worldwide as “The Windsurfing Capital of the World.”

Drive a few minutes more, and arrive at the outskirts of Haiku, the quintessential small Hawaiian town that I so wish Mark Twain or Norman Rockwell had captured with their artistic gifts. Haiku is the start of it all: tropical rainforests, dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, greenery greener than the greenest green, soft & brief showers, rainbows around every corner. The slower lifestyle that takes the time to immerse itself in all these things is quite present in Haiku.

I invite you to partake.

For sale, just outside of our uber-charming, semi-rural town of Haiku: a lovely, light-filled home nestled comfortably in Haiku's ever-green, 2-acre setting. The 2,600 square foot two-story home features four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a soundproof media room complete with recording studio, and a charming guest house.

See more about the home at http://www.10KapuaiRoad.com.

$1,475,000 • MLS 369728

As we say in Haiku and all throughout Hawaii:

"Door of Faith Road." What an Incredibly Uncommon and Beautiful Name.




"Door of Faith Road." What an incredibly uncommon and beautiful name.

While its inhabitants are mostly high-end residential homes, Door of Faith Road opens with two houses of faith, one of which is an historically significant Protestant church built in 1853. Kaulanapueo Church, still in use 163 years later, helps to set the peaceful tone that one instantly senses as the leisurely trek down this Maui clifftop seaside community begins.

Where Door of Faith Road hits its zenith lies a private and secluded 2-acre oceanfront estate known as Bali Kai Hale. As expected from such a rare location, its grounds are luxuriously landscaped. Its 4,971 square feet of living space take full advantage of the otherworldly clifftop views. 

As the new owner of Bali Kai Hale, you'll enjoy these features:
• Five bedrooms
• Four and a half bathrooms
• 4,971 square feet of living space
• 697 square feet of covered lanai (patio)
• 225 square feet of uncovered lanai
• Two-car garage
• Saline swimming pool with spa/hot tub
• Two acres
• Lawn sprinklers
• Two story wood frame construction
• Monier tile roof
• Private water
• Zoned agricultural
• Level topography overlooking 200-foot oceanfront cliff

Bali Kai Hale is located just a short drive away from Haiku Town Center, Historic Paia Town and popular North Shore activities and attractions.

There's Nothing Quite Like Oceanfront Living


There's something about the ocean that brings out in us a sense of peace, a sense of calm. We tend to relax a bit more and let our cares go by the wayside when we're lulled by the constant lapping of the waves and the shifting shades of the various blues. Those of us who live in Hawaii have some aspect of the ocean flowing through our veins.

Just imagine waking up to this every morning. An early sunrise, Kona coffee on the lanai. Maybe a light shower passing through, then a subtle rainbow. A bright rainbow. Does it really matter? They're all a part of daily life here on Maui's north shore, and none gets old.

This could be your chance to enjoy that sense of calm every day for the rest of your life.
