TThis rare Kamaole Kula property is situated on Maui's leeward, sunset coast at an elevation of 2,450 feet. It boasts stunning bi-coastal views and a low-humidity climate with an ideal blend of subtropical days and cool mornings and evenings. This area naturally resists dampness and growths.
Over the years, the original owners have thoughtfully developed and meticulously cared for this beautifully graded and contoured two-acre parcel. Their stewardship has created a mature and thriving landscape featuring approximately 1,000 feet of rock walls, an abundance of productive fruit trees-including avocado, citrus, cherimoya, and macadamia nut-a fertile garden, and exceptional privacy.
The sturdy, custom-built home and detached garage were constructed using irreplaceable old-growth, clear vertical-grain (CVG), Western red cedar, sourced from virgin forests in Olympic National Park. The timber was obtained through a rare special use permit from the National Park Service for fire control, allowing the purchase of wind-felled trees approaching 400 years in age that were extracted by helicopter.
Even in the 1980s, wood of this caliber was rare; today, it is virtually priceless. This premium lumber is naturally resistant to termites and rot, including all studs and joists, and the home is finished with the highest-grade roof tiles. The construction was executed by master craftsman and boat builder John Cahill, of Cahill Construction.
The property also features a 48-panel solar array equipped with top-quality SMA Sunny Boy inverters and a state-of-the-art Heliotex automated cleaning system. Additionally, this parcel benefits from a grandfathered net-zero interactive electric meter with a minimal monthly service charge-a program that has since been discontinued by Hawaiian Electric.
It is a valuable hedge against rapidly escalating fuel and energy costs. Keokea Town is a short drive away, offering convenient access to Ching Store, Fong Store, Grandma's Coffee House, Keokea Park, and the Kula Clinic. Schools and the post office are approximately 10 minutes away. This timeless, classic, one-of-a-kind home is a true real estate outlier. It offers a peaceful and comfortable Maui lifestyle. This is a Residential CPR property. Call your Realtor for a private viewing.
