It’s always a pleasure to bring a property to market that stands out from the pack. This townhome in Milo Court certainly fits that description. I did the research before I listed the property. I have yet to find another townhome in this development or its sister development Kamani that have the same number of upgrades inside and out. This post walks you through the highlights.

Let’s start in the kitchen. The owner replaced the original developer countertops with Soapstone. They replaced the island counter top with an acacia wood slab. A tile back splash helps to make things pop.

If you have yet to tour a condo in Milo Court, the photo above shows the open concept living area on the entry level. Upgrades visible in the two photos above include the luxury vinyl plank flooring, a projection TV and a framed screen area. The laundry room is just off the kitchen area. The seller added a motion light which means no fumbling for the light switch when carrying your laundry basket. Not visble in the photos above is the powder room. The seller upgraded this space with an antique vanity with pedestal sink.

The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are downstairs in this floor plan. One thing you notice immediately on the bedroom level is the flooring. The seller went with polished concrete floors that are both attractive and cool under foot.

The master suite is quite spacious with room for a California King, a desk and more. There is a walk in closet with plenty of built in shelving for storage. The seller also installed cedar ceilings in the closet.

The seller completely overhauled the master bathroom. The marble countertops on the vanity are striking. There is a walk in shower with pebble flooring, pebble accents and a rain shower head. Built in shelving cap off the master bath upgrades.

While the inside of the home is impressive, the improvements to the outdoor spaces are just as striking. There is a redwood deck off the master suite. Heleconia and Areca Palms add beauty and privacy to the space. Outdoor lighting makes the space come alive at night.

There is a spacious, well landscaped side yard. The seller terraced the yard with hand built walls. A striking redwood stair case provide access from street level to the yard area. The photo below shows only a portion of the yard space. A storage shed outside the frame of the photo is included in the sale.

In addition to the upgrades already mentioned, the home has an owned photovoltaic system to help keep utility bills down. There is also a water softener. This isn’t a fully comprehensive list of upgrades. There are other upgrades that you will have to see for yourself.

The list price of this best of show Milo Court Condo is $655,000. This unit is sold! Check out the Milo Court at Kehalani page to see if there is any other inventory in the neighborhood.

A Decade of Hard Work

While Hana is a great place for a sustainable lifestyle and growing your own food. It isn’t always easy to start from scratch. Land needs to be cleared, soil augmented, structures need to be built, energy systems set up and of course orchards need to be planted. There is a lot of trial and error. This 2.78 acre parcel provides an opportunity to reap the literal fruit of the seller’s labors. Over the last decade, the owners thoughtfully and lovingly planted the property with hundreds of fruit trees, flowers and foliage. They used permaculture principles while farming. The farm received organic certification for three years before being discontinued last year due to a lack of need.

Plantings on the Property

The property includes hundreds of edibles, timber bamboo and a variety of understory crops and mulching plants.

A partial list of edibles includes:

• Hundreds of Bananas including Ice Cream, Apple and Williams varieties.

There is a large capacity septic system already installed for a future cottage.

Utilities

The Barn

There is a massive grid tied solar system on the roof of barn to help keep down utility costs for the property.

There is even potential to convert the barn into the main residence on the property. The high ceilings, design features and big views make the structure well suited to conversion while still still retaining plenty of garage and storage space.

The Cottage

The two bedroom, one and a half bath cottage is picture perfect. Highlights include reclaimed pine flooring, vaulted ceilings, a cupola roof, an outdoor shower and a large covered lanai. The covered lanai helps the home live larger, and it offers a great space to take in the ocean views.

Situated in a quiet, lush valley on Maui’s North Shore, two streams flank this 9.64 acre property The streams merge at the edge of the property before traveling a short distance to the ocean. This place is truly a feast for the senses as the sound of rustling palm fronds accompany the rumble of the ocean and the murmur of streams. There are two separate homes. The Sky House, at the top of the property, provides broad vistas of the Pacific.

There is a white cedar workshop between the two homes. Add in an orchard and nature trails and this is a place to truly slow down and catch your breath in a fast-paced world.

A Well Loved Property

When the developers of this property first purchased this property, the valley was dense jungle. They slowly began to clear the property keeping a selection of larger common mango trees, and kukui trees. The original owners cleared home sites for the Ocean House and the Sky House. They planted beautiful gardens and an orchard. The owners lovingly constructed the two homes. They hand selected timbers for the homes, laid mosaic tiles for the pools and bathrooms and carved tikis in support posts.

The current owner continued the previous owners stewardship of the land. She expanded the orchard area and continues to maintain the grounds organically.

Off The Grid Living

The property is truly off the grid. Photovoltaic Solar Panels power the two homes. A generator provides back up power. Water comes from a well on the property. There are a variety of organically grown fruits on the property including coconuts, avocado, citrus, lilikoi, surinam cherries, bananas, papaya and a whole lot more.
