Hana Land Opportunity

This is an opportunity to own two side by side 6 acre lots in Hana. The agriculturally zoned lots are located on the North side of Hana town just a few minutes drive from the black sand beach of Waianapanapa State Park. The lot provides a number of different opportunities for potential buyers. The land was previously used for cattle ranching by the Hana Ranch. Parts of the land have become lightly forested since it was last grazed. There is good farming potential in the land. It could be re-fenced for a smaller number of livestock. Other nearby properties grow Cacao, a variety of citrus and other tropical fruits or tropical flowers. With an implemented farm plan, the zoning would allow for two primary homes and two 1,000 square foot cottages between the two lots.There are plenty of good building spots and there is potential for excellent views with a little bit of clearing. The number of potential homes could be conducive to a family compound or a property split among friends. A four unit CPR is another possibility.

The properties do not have water meters, but there is ample rainfall for water catchment. There is overhead electricity that runs through the property, or you could always go off grid to save on your electric bill and to lighten your impact on the planet.

Hana town offers an incredibly laid back lifestyle. It is secluded from the rest of the island. The natural scenery is stunning and there are great beaches and waterfall hikes. It is a great spot to get back to nature.

The two lots are offered together for the price of $655,000. These lots sold! Check out the current inventory of Hana Land for Sale or contact The Maui Real Estate Team for direct assistance.

Awalau Waterfall House

Yesterday, I posted about a home that would be a great fit for someone whose vision of Maui is focused on the beach. Today, I wanted to introduce you to a property that fits the ideal of tropical Maui. This Haiku home is situated on 3.43 acres. The land starts mostly flat up front and terraced in the back. The property is landscaped with over 30 coconut palms, hibiscus, torch ginger, and colorful Ti plants. If you are looking for edibles, there are tons of banana and passion fruit. Have you ever fantasized about drinking your own coffee? The terraced slopes of the property are covered with Arabica Coffee plants. The highlight of the property is a series of small waterfalls that gently cascade down the slopes of the property below the house.

The two bedroom, two bathroom home is airy and expansive with large rooms and a soaring, vaulted, open beam ceilings. The great room has a fire place and panoramic views. There is also a large enclosed lanai with a separate entrance. The home has lots of covered parking and substantial storage areas for gardening equipment or beach toys. If you are off island and want to get a better sense of the house, the 3D tour of the home is the next best thing to seeing the home in person.

In addition to the main house, there is a one bedroom, one bath cottage with covered lanais.

The Awalau Waterfall House is listed for $1,550,000. This property is no longer for sale. Search for other Haiku Real Estate listings or contact the Maui Real Estate Team for direct assistance.

3035 Baldwin Avenue Details

“The details are not the details. They make the design.”-Charles Eames

Over the years, I have had the opportunity to look at a lot of properties throughout all corners of Maui. I have seen a number of beautiful homes. Some are distinguished for their views, some for their architecture, some for their setting and some for all of the above. 3035 Baldwin Avenue in Makawao is one that fits the all of the above category. That said, today I wanted to hone in on the details of the property. 3035 Baldwin is the type of home where you notice something new each time you visit. The photos below capture some of the details that you might miss on a quick visit.


The stainless steel circles in this railing are ubiquitous throughout the property. You see them at the front gate, you see them used for railings. They are used in the kitchen and bathrooms. The amazing thing is that the owner individually welded all of the circles together. There are over 2,000 on the property.


3035 Baldwin was part of the old Kaluanui Estate. An old cistern next to the main house was converted to a firepit. A great place to watch the sunset as day turns to night in Upcountry Maui and stars begin to blanket the skies.


Circles are a feature seen throughout the design of the house. This portal window reflects a trellis outside the master bedroom. The siding is also noteworthy. Rather than just using linear shakes on the exterior. The shakes are in a wave like pattern.


The circle theme carried over into this blue door down by the garage.


A sculpture outside the main home.

Jalousie or louvre windows are popular in tropical architecture. They can let in breezes while keeping out moisture. This home has oversized jalousies. The owner designed and built the mechanics to open and close these large jalousies. The end result is beautiful, durable and very functional.


The Japanese soaking tub outside the master suite uses as bamboo spigot that is turned on and off by a faucet made from a stack of river rocks.

These are just some of the eye catching design features around the home. Check out the youtube video below to see more details of the property.

This property is offered for $6,900,000. For a big picture view of the property, check out the Maui Haven Website. Qualified buyers may contact The Maui Real Estate Team to arrange an exclusive preview.
