This property captures the majesty and serenity of upcountry Haiku in an original design of both architectural and engineering wonder. Picture a lush, green property overlooking the blues of the Pacific Ocean. Gentle breezes provide fresh air and ventilation. Breathtaking views of Kuiaha Gulch and the north shore of Maui draw the viewer into the landscape. The property instills feelings of calm and comfort within a natural setting, yet is only a few miles from the wild waves of Ho’okipa and Jaws and the launching ramp at Maliko Gulch. This house was built to last for generations, with construction standards well above county code.
The main house features stone walls that architecturally anchor the house and a curved staircase leading upstairs to the main living and dining areas with magnificent ocean and gulch views. Vaulted wood ceilings run the length of the open-plan second story. The kitchen is gourmet quality with a stunning full-wall glass mosaic backsplash of sea grass. Outside, the built-in gas barbecue is the focal point of a second mini kitchen with small refrigerator, sink, and an industrial extractor fan. Two telescoping sliding Fleetwood doors provide a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor lanais. Glass and chrome steel railings enclose the second floor lanais. This house is excellent for entertaining. Downstairs, both the master bedroom and bathroom connect to garden lanais. The spare bedroom and multi-purpose room (yoga room) share a second bath. An oversized three-car garage with glass garage doors and a side room provide ample room for cars, storage, and big toys.
The ohana is finished to the same high standards as the main house. The 1000 square foot second story living area is an open plan with vaulted ceilings. It consists of a living room with a fireplace adjacent to the bedroom with shoji doors for privacy, a dining room with another telescoping Fleetwood door that opens on to a large lanai with glass railing, a bathroom with gulch view, and a fully equipped gas kitchen. The wraparound lanai and large sliding glass doors provide easy access between indoor and outdoor areas. The first floor includes a two-car garage with glass front garage doors, studio space on the side, and an office or additional guest apartment.
The lower reaches of the property are in historical, pristine Kuiaha Gulch. Feral coffee plants and taro, relics of an agricultural past, grow alongside of Kuiaha Stream. In the early morning, light filters through the trees lining the gulch, illuminating a lush array of local plants on the property. In the late afternoon, the sunsets over West Maui are an inspiring way to end the day.
Bananas, limes, lemons, orange, papaya, tangerines and avocado on the property regularly supply fresh fruit. A small garden ensures a supply of fresh greens, herbs, and tomatoes. Hot water is heated by solar panel arrays on both main house and ohana. Although the subdivision is on county water meters, the property is on catchment with a 27,000 gallon tank. Rooftop runoff is filtered, providing an exceptionally clean source of good tasting fresh water.
