Is this your dream? Does your Hawaiian Dream include a custom crafted home on an expansively beautiful property in one of  Maui’s prime locations?  In your dream, is the home itself a work of art, blending the best of Asian and Hawaiian design elements?  Is there a large modern workshop where maybe your boat or other toys are waiting?

Do you dream of a house that is well suited both to entertaining friends and family and quiet moments of reflection? Can you envision lounging on the lanai looking at the North Shore and the West Maui Mountains, sipping a cool beverage and watching the sun set with friends? The smell of wood smoke and fresh Italian herbs waft across the lanai from your pizza oven. Or, perhaps you’re looking across your fruit orchard at the full glory of Haleakala, clear as a bell. Later, you’ll stargaze from the hot tub.

Often in the dream, you’re exploring the many meandering trails that traverse the landscape, enabling you to truly enjoy the property’s entire 70 acres. The trails pass by a small, organic lettuce farm and a young forest of native koa trees, some of which you’re thinking you’ll harvest one day for their prized wood. You find a running stream and macadamia nut trees and allspice groves. You can smell them in your dream, and they smell like spice cake.

Do you dream of never paying a power bill thanks to a powerful state-of-the-art photovoltaic power system? Does the dream include a lifestyle that combines intrinsic privacy and the convenience of driving 2 minutes to get to great restaurants, stores, spa treatments or yoga classes?

The world seems to be getting busier every day. We are more tied to our phones, our tablets and our jobs and less connected to nature. For those that who want to escape the hustle and bustle and immerse yourself in natural beauty, this is your refuge. The Haiku Sanctuary is a 9.64 acre, off the grid estate located on Maui’s North Shore. It includes two artist inspired homes, two pools, an art studio, nature trails, fruit groves, secret spots and more. Secluded spots like this property are becoming harder and harder to find within Hawaii and the world.

The three bedroom, three bathroom ocean house is nestled in a valley at the confluence of the Puniawa and Honopou Streams. The two streams merge together before traveling another seventy-five to hundred yards before reaching the ocean. The home has its own mosaic tile pool. It may also have one of the most relaxing lanai spaces on the planet. It boasts a stunning view of the tropical landscape, ocean and the streams heading towards the ocean. All the while, the sounds of the ocean, streams, swaying palm fronds and bird song create a natural symphony that melts your stress away.

The sky house is a three bedroom, three bathroom house located at the top of the valley with stunning vistas of Haleakala, the valley below and the big blue Pacific Ocean. The home also has its own mosaic tile pool and an abundance of outdoor spaces to enjoy the plentiful scenery.

The almost ten acres of grounds include a variety of fruit trees, tropical botanicals, swaying palm trees, sprawling banyan trees, bananas, mango trees and walking paths. There are lots of areas that lend themselves to meditation or just quiet contemplation.

The house is independent from the grid. A well provides water and multiple photovoltaic systems augmented by a back up generator provide the power. This is truly a place to unplug from the grid and a place to unplug from a busy world.

This incomparable property is offered for sale for $6,400,000. This property sold in 2021. If you are an Instagram user, follow The Maui Real Estate Team feed for more stunning photos of this property. Contact The Maui Real Estate Team for assistance finding other estate properties on Maui.

People have been living off the grid in Maui for decades. In rural parts of our island, electrical and water infrastructure can be limited. That means people may need to use catchment systems to capture their water supply and photovoltaic panels to generate power. While off the grid living may be the norm for some island residents, it is something that is getting more and more discussion and interest from the general public. PV systems have become more advanced and less expensive to install. We are also appear to be on the cusp of seeing some exciting advances in home energy storage. On a recent investor call, Elon Musk announced that Tesla will be entering the home energy storage market. Tesla batteries are supposed to start production in as soon as six months.

With off the grid becoming more accessible, it is a particularly exciting time to bring an off the grid land listing to market. This lot in Haiku is .7 acres of flat and usable land. The ocean views from the building site are truly stunning.

The lot is located near the end of a quiet country road. It overlooks Opana Gulch. Opana stream runs through the gulch and can sometimes be heard from the lot. Looking across the gulch, there is nothing but forest views extending up towards the Koolau gap of Haleakala. This is truly a place of quiet that brings you back to nature.

Opana Gulch includes areas of Bamboo Forest.
