Description

This is our totally private custom 3-bedroom/3bath-luxury vacation home, plus cane cottage with studio, on five tropically landscaped acres. Whether you are just two enjoying your honeymoon or a whole family of 10 celebrating an anniversary, you will love opening the gate and driving down the long Ti lined drive to this special place exclusive just for your party. Once inside our electric gate you will pass two groves of coconut trees and see in the distance our newly built cane cottage, all before you reach the house.

The ocean view from the large lanai of our Pole House is down a splendid forested gorge. Music can be directed outside while you languish in the pool/spa surrounded by tropical gardens lit by Tiki torches. Try a game of croquet on the adjacent lawn, then perhaps a nap in the hammock under two of our more than two hundred palms. Pick some ginger, protea or heliconias for your table add guavas, papaya and/or bananas, all just a few steps from the pool area. Take a minute to enjoy the art throughout the house done by island artists.

For those parties who need to have space for 10, we have a new charming Cane Cottage, at the other end of the property 400 feet from the house on its own driveway. There is a lovely Studio in this cottage, which can be rented for an overflow of two persons. We are finding, though, that grandparents and older parents love the chance to use this studio even if there are not 10 people. This choice can be made on arrival if you wish. Our caretakers live in the other section of the Cane Cottage.

Our Maui Vacation Home sleeps 8 people. With the Studio the property accommodates 10.

Our blue tiled pool and connecting tiled spa are a perfect place to spend your afternoon and evening, or to swim those laps you have been promising yourself. (Swim suit or not – your choice) The pool area and surrounding gardens are professionally landscaped with tropicals, ferns and palms providing total privacy.

The trade winds come up in the afternoon, so that air conditioning is never needed. Most people tell us that once they have settled in, it is very hard to leave and do all that sightseeing they had planned. They find they prefer relaxing and enjoying the property.

This property is truly magic; it has been in our family for ninety years. Ron’s grandmother homesteaded thirty acres, which has long ago been bisected by the Hana Highway. We purchased these 5 acres from Ron’s father in the early 70’s, built the house in 1985. The bottom apartment was completed in 1994. The Cane Cottage in 2005. Recently, we completely updated the house in anticipation of making it available to the vacationer who might we looking for privacy and luxury in a beautiful tropical setting. Renting this way, allows us to use the house ourselves when we choose, to be able to pursue our farming interests on the land and still meet our mainland family commitments.

Amenities

The main living area of the house is ten feet up, supported by telephone poles (AKA Pole House) We offer two king master bedroom suites upstairs (one with its’ own lanai), The large living/dining space has a complete home entertainment center including Tivo and a video/DVD library with a comfortable sectional to curl up in and much more. The kitchen is like no other. Our kitchen cabinets are all solid Koa wood (now virtually unavailable), hand crafted by a local cabinet maker/artisan. The kitchen is completely equipped, down to a Cuisnart, sugar, flour and spices.

Our bathroom cabinets are also of an exotic wood – Purple Heart and the tile in the bath is hand painted by a woman we commissioned. Outdoor relaxing/eating can be done on the large Lanai. If you are suffering electronic withdrawal or have possible business distractions, we have broadband Internet with Wi/Fi, printer/scanner, fax and answering machine.

Downstairs is a complete one-bedroom/one bath apartment (never rented separately) with two twins in the bedroom as well as a queen futon in the living room. There is a separate kitchen, Satellite TV/VCR and a private patio.

Activities

If you like to walk, try this route: go through the pineapple field to the cow pasture at the ocean's edge. Climb over the barbed-wire fence and follow the path down to a beautiful rock beach on a private cove. Or perhaps settling down on the bluff at the edge of the Pacific with a good bottle of wine would be preferable. You could also walk the other way, across the Hana Highway and up the hill to the Pauwela Cafe for a latte or lunch. Ohashi's store, just across the street, has great ice cream cones.

If you have the yen to swim at the beach, drive eight miles to Paia and visit Baldwin Beach, or go to Baby Beach at Sprecklesville. Be sure to leave time to watch the windsurfers at Hookipa. If the opportunity to swim in a pool beneath a waterfall offers more appeal, head toward Hana for about 10 minutes until you reach Mile Marker 15, park, and hike on up to Twin Falls.

Golf courses abound on Maui. The majority of the well-known courses are to be found at Wailea or at Kanapali, about an hour away. However, there are public courses in Kahalui and Pukalani. The closest course to the house is at Maui Country Club in Sprecklesville, a private club that also has tennis courts. You would need to contact them directly to arrange a visit.

Eating is a big pastime on Maui. Mama's Fish House is one of the best restaurants anywhere, and is just five miles away. It's expensive but worth it. Paia has good restaurants aplenty. We have three cafes in Haiku, and three small groceries; and then there are all the others we tell you about on our bulletin board.
