There's Something About the Ocean


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 - unlike that flip-floppy weather being experienced by so much of the mainland right now. This could be your chance to enjoy that sense of calm every day for the rest of your life.

35-Acre Equestrian Ranch for Sale in Hawaii


35-Acre Equestrian Ranch for Sale in Hawaii
_________________________

Living in Hawaii – it’s every bit as incredible as you might think. Here on Maui, we have that perfect sweet spot between city life and rural life.

Specifically, the town of Makawao (pronounced “mock-a-wow”) makes living in Hawaii a little more special. It’s got that small town feeling combined with a Goldilocks climate – never too warm and never too cool. Sitting at 1600 feet above sea level, Makawao affords its residents rich views of both coasts while it lives up to its name, which translates to “edge of the forest.”

Enjoy a handful of factoids about Makawao:

• The population hovers around 8,000.
• The median resident age is around 43.
• The median household income is around $65,000.
• The median home value is around $780,000.
• The land area is slightly under 5 square miles.
• 98% of Makawao’s residents are high school graduates. 24% hold bachelor’s degrees, while 8% hold master’s degrees or higher.
• Serves as home to one of the most respected prep schools in the nation – Seabury Hall – which boasts an outstanding college acceptance rate, and whose alumni have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, Brown, Cornell and Stanford.
• The average household size is 2.8 people.

Living in Hawaii offers the obvious advantages that the tropical outdoors brings: minutes to beaches, minutes to hiking, zip lining, horseback riding, biking, stand-up paddleboarding, kiteboarding, and surfing don’t even begin to scratch the surface of all the outdoor activities.

The Ranch at Paholei, a 35-acre equestrian homestead, is nestled at the foot of Makawao, just minutes from our eclectic beach town of Paia, and is now available for purchase. Living in Hawaii couldn’t be more grand. With a carefully remodeled, historically significant main home of 5,210 square feet, a purpose-built horse barn of 6,700 square feet and bi-level guest cottage whose lower floor can accommodate even the largest of water toys and equestrian toys, this property has it all. The sublime banyan tree provides shade for your horses’ grazing. The mango garden is loaded with rare and exotic flora at every turn. The bi-level koi pond and the perfectly preserved ruins from the 1846 sugar mill conspire to set The Ranch at Paholei a world apart.

If living in Hawaii on a pristine equestrian estate appeals to you, I would welcome the opportunity to hike the property with you. Experiencing the property with all your senses is an absolute must: the aromas of roses, allspice and clove waft through the garden; the cool misty rains that occasionally dance through lower Makawao bring rainbows that you would swear are projected from a multicolored Hollywood searchlight; the sounds of utter silence are occasionally broken by the muffled sounds of nature simply being itself.

See the entire description of the property here: http://www.2372BaldwinAvenue.com

Living in Hawaii – it can happen today!

Beachside Country Club Lifestyle Waiting for You


Beachside Country Club Lifestyle Waiting for You
_________________________

If you know anything about Maui, you know that Spreckelsville is one of Maui's most sought-after neighborhoods. Properties don't hit the market very often, and when they do, they're snapped up. I suspect that this new listing will be no different.

From this 3/4 acre plot of ready-to-build land, you can walk just a few steps down a private, shaded pathway and emerge onto the North Shore's warm golden sand with the turquoise Pacific extending as far as you can see.

Walk a few steps in the other direction, and be on the grounds of the Maui Country Club, where you can swim, golf and relax in the tropical clime to your heart's content.

Call, text or email today to schedule a tour of the property and its rare adjacent benefits.
