For Sale: World-Class Clifftop Home Overlooking Maui's North Shore


Best Island in the World
It’s no wonder Maui claimed the throne for 20 consecutive years as Conde Nast’s Best Island in the World. With 120 miles of coastline, an average daytime temperature that hovers between 75 and 90 degrees and more experiences than one can ever begin to fulfill, Maui serves as full-time home, part-time home, and world-class vacation destination to royalty, celebrities and mere mortals who understand the rejuvenating power of constantly reconnecting with nature in a way that only Maui can provide.

This clifftop home that sits at the beginning of Maui's famed Road to Hana could quite well serve as your home base here on our beautiful island.

The Home

This exclusive, private and unique gated oceanfront estate on Maui's North Shore quite literally sits on top of it all.

Enjoy 180 degree breathtaking, panoramic ocean views with complete and total privacy. This lush 2 story Haiku compound boasts a rock waterfall spilling into a heated 414 square foot beach style entry pool with a built-in hot tub and cabana for outdoor entertainment.
Move the party inside and upstairs where you'll find three bedrooms (one of which can easily serve as a large work-at-home office) and three bathrooms.

Other features include a ground level open floor entertaining area with ocean views.
A portion of the spacious 2,268 square foot three-car garage can easily be converted to a caretaker/pool attendant quarters or can be expanded to house ten vehicles - great for the serious car collector.

More amenities include roof-mounted photovoltaic power panels, a back-up generator, a walk-in safe room, and a private well water source.

The 3,756 square foot contemporary home on 1.35 acres is conveniently located to Kahului Airport, dining, shopping and some of the world's best surfing.

Maliko Cliff

Maliko Gulch is the first major geological disrupt encountered as one begins the trek from Paia eastward on Maui's incomparable Road to Hana. A stream slices the gulch in two, defining its sides with cool shade, lush greenery and banyan trees. The drive is absolutely breathtaking.

As the ascent out of Maliko Gulch begins, the road's grade clearly progresses toward a clifftop. Here - on that very clifftop, just beyond the curve in the road - is where 2175 Hana Highway sits alone in decadent solitude, commanding the views of everything below, yet managing to remain anonymously hidden from the road.

I’ll be happy to schedule a private showing of this once-in-a-lifetime residence forever perched on Maliko Cliff.

For Sale: Unique 3-Bedroom Octagonal Home in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii


The octagonal home.

It first became popular on the North American mainland in the late 19th century, although its recorded history dates back thousands of years.

Throughout history, the octagon shape has been a symbolic architectural theme representing regeneration, rebirth and renewal. In Buddhism it means completion. In Chinese, it symbolizes good luck and completeness. In Hebrew, it is the number of the Lord. In Taoism, it denotes the eight immortals, and in Christianity it denotes the eight beatitudes. 

One of the advantages of an octagonal design is that the shape encloses space more efficiently than its counterpart, the square. An octagon has approximately 20 percent more space than a square with the same perimeter. An octagonal structure permits more natural light, aiding in the reduction of electric bills for illumination. 

From a livability standpoint, octagonal designs allow for panoramic views and easier orientation on the building site. Octagonal homes permit 360 degree views, making them very popular in vacation and scenic destinations, such as on the beach or the side of a mountain. 

This octagonal home with an attached ohana in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii features ocean views. The landscape is such that each home in the neighborhood is scarcely visible from neighboring homes.

Split level living is beautifully set among indescribably lush grounds, with fragrances of flowers and sounds of colorful birds adding even more tropical ambiance to the forever ocean views.

Living is even more laid-back with the expansive wraparound covered lanai.

Features include:
• 3 bedrooms
• 3 bathrooms
• 3,151 square feet of living space
• 938 square feet of covered lanai 
• 1.004 acres
• Split level
• Carport
• Level / gentle slope topography
• Zoned agricultural
• Remodeled in 2014

Ready for Purchase: Clifftop Oceanfront Estate in Haiku, Maui, Hawaii


Inspired by a Balinese temple, this magnificent 2-acre estate includes lava stone walls, fountains and white stone wall carvings, zen-like statuary and a stunning vanishing edge lap pool and heated spa. 

The main house is perched on a 300 foot cliff overlooking Waipio Bay's crashing surf where tropical breezes consistently stream fresh ocean air throughout the green estate. This is a place to sit back and let the tropical rains move through your field of vision while you conquer the world's problems. 

During the cool months, the whales play in Waipio Bay, and during the summer months the rainfall keeps the gardens green and the terraced lawns beautiful.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom main house includes an attached guest quarters with one-bedroom, two-bathrooms and a two-car enclosed garage. The house has all the modern amenities one would expect, including massive four-door sliding glass doors to the lanai, high ceilings, a theater area with projection television and screen, large his and her adjacent master bedrooms, and even an elevated covered screen lanai for sleeping outside in a protected alcove. The walk-in closet has a dehumidifier, while the master bathroom features a large round tub and beautiful countertops with carved stone sinks.

The kitchen features a large spacious area for cooking and entertaining, with views over Waipio Bay. A huge granite countertop with bar seating and spacious modern cabinetry complete the space, including marble tiled floors and accent lighting.

For entertaining, the views are amazing. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Haleakala's peak and out across to the Pacific to the crashing waves falling on Waipio Point. The lawn is terraced with a lower sundeck overlooking the cliff's edge, with a natural stone and grass walkway leading down to the base. The backyard has many very old coconut trees, tiled patios, a vanishing edge pool with wraparound lava coping, a heated spa, and mature landscaping specially adapted to this unique Maui tropical area.

Systems in this remote location are very strong, including 220VAC electric, DSL Internet service, landline telephone, propane gas, and other necessities for a modern household. The house has a range of security devices, including an electronic entry gate, digital video recording systems (Internet accessible), and in-wall speaker and theater systems for beautiful sounds wherever you're entertaining. 

There is a clean spring on the property providing water to several lots, and over 80,000 gallons of storage with fire protection and metered regulation.

Oceanfront Living in the Paia, Maui Neighborhood of Kuau


Kuau. It's one of those quiet Maui enclaves that might otherwise go unnoticed, save those who already live there and those who've been introduced to its charms.

Located on Maui's North Shore at the beginning of the famed Road to Hana and just minutes from Paia, Kuau is not much bigger than the blink of an eye. Kuau Point, the north-facing peninsula that steps just far enough into the ocean to separate it from the more visible land, serves as the perfect locale for just a handful of ocean-loving residents.

The 7-bedroom, 5-bathroom home at 81 Aleiki Place on Kuau Point is particularly appealing for a myriad of reasons, not the smallest of which is its placement on the land. Facing west, the home is situated in such a manner to be sheltered from the tradewinds. In this quiet secluded neighborhood, 81 Aleiki Place offers unique views across Tavares Bay to the West Maui Mountains and the twinkling lights of evening Wailuku. While Kahului Airport is also visible across the bay, Kuau is far enough from the airport that the noise of the planes is not an issue.

You'll find amazing ocean surf break just outside your door. There, you'll enjoy watching surfers, windsurfers, and upon occasion, tow-in surfers from the comfort of your own poolside garden or the spacious upper level lanai.

There are no worries about beach erosion or flooding due to the geographic stability of Kuau Point. 

To sweeten the deal even more, Mama's Fish House - one of Trip Advisor's Top 10 Fine Dining Restaurants in the US - is within walking distance. Ditto Ho'okipa Beach, commonly known as the windsurfing capital of the world, is easily accessed on foot as well.

The detached three-bedroom ohana cottage has plenty of room for a full-time caretaker, for short-term and long-term guests, or to inspire those art plans you've had for so long.

See more of 81 Aleiki Place by visiting http://www.81AleikiPlace.com, and then call / text / email me to schedule a private showing.
