A Luxury Home, 5 Acres of Privacy with Pool/Spa, Permitted in Haiku

This is our totally private custom 4-bedroom/3bath-luxury vacation home, plus a cane cottage on the property as well, 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 main 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 luxuriate 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.

AMENITIES
The main living area of the house is ten feet up, supported by telephone poles (AKA Pole House). We offer two Cal King master bedroom suites upstairs (one with its’ own lanai).  The large living/dining space has a complete home entertainment center 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/copier and answering machine.

Downstairs is a complete two-bedroom/one bath apartment (never rented separately) with two twins in the bedroom as well as a queen Murphy bed in the adjacent family room.  There is Satellite TV/VCR and a private patio.  Our Maui Vacation Home sleeps 8 people.  With the futon sofa bed, the property accommodates 10.

HIGHLIGHTS
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.  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.  It is truly magic!

Recently, we completely updated the house in anticipation of making it available to the vacationer who might be looking for privacy and luxury in a beautiful tropical setting.

GUEST COMMENTS
"We all felt at home in the Pole House, every minute. Your care and attention to details are immaculate and we believe that we could have stayed forever."

 "WOW If there is more to say I don't know what it would be. The house, everything really, is so much better than we imagined.  We are having a great time every minute since we got here and most of the time we don't even want to leave the house. What else is there really?"

 "I don't want to leave. The house is beautiful, the grounds are beautiful, the weather is beautiful"

When we say a luxury pole house, we are describing a custom, wood sided, multi windowed, metal roofed home where the main living area is ten feet up supported by telephone poles.  This affords views of the ocean and a rear view of the crater.

The house sits on the edge of a scenic gorge that ends at the sea.  Our view is wonderful.  You drive beside an old pineapple field to reach our gate and two groves of farmed coconut palms before reaching the house.  We do have neighbors but they are hidden by the extensive landscaping.

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.  You can choose to read a book in the hammock under the palms trees.  The pool area and surrounding gardens are professionally landscaped with tropicals, ferns and palms providing total privacy.  The trades come up in the afternoon so that air conditioning is never needed.

The upper part of the house includes a large living/dining room, master bedroom/bath, a second master bedroom/bath with a private deck and a large deck/Lanai with a gas barbecue.  There is a 55-inch Sony HDTV on a satellite, a VCR, DVD and stereo.

Because we realize that it is important in today's world to be able to conduct business wherever we are, there is a large desk area in the master bedroom.  You will find an all-in-one printer/fax/copier and of course, an answering machine.  There is a separate line for our Internet modem.

The kitchen is like no other. Our kitchen cabinets are all Koa wood hand crafted by a local cabinet maker/artist. The kitchen is fully equipped. (blender, Cuisinart, coffee grinder, etc.)  The bathroom's cabinets are Purple Heart Wood and the tile is hand painted.

The ground level part of the house has a family room which opens onto a terrace that looks out over the fields and coconut palm groves.  There is also a bedroom/bath with two twin beds.  In the family room is a high quality queen size Futon.  There are also a TV and VCR here with a separate receiver to the satellite.

The upstairs bedrooms both have Cal King size beds.  The house accommodates a maximum of ten people.

If you like to walk or hike, try heading down our driveway and turn left as you exit the gate onto the old pineapple field dirt road,  After a 25-30 minute walk toward the ocean, you will come across a horse pasture at the ocean edge. You then climb over an old barb wire fence and follow the path down to the beautiful rock beach on a private cove or just settle down on the bluff at the edge of the Pacific with a good bottle of wine.

If you have the yen to swim at the beach, head back to Paia and Baldwin Beach or Baby Beach at Sprecklesville.  Be sure to leave time to watch the windsurfers at Hookipa.

If swimming in a pool beneath a waterfall has more appeal, head toward Hana for about 10 minutes until you reach mile marker 2, park and hike 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, both over 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.  It is a private club.  It also has tennis courts. You would need to contact them directly to see if play was possible?

Eating is a big past time on Maui.  Mamas' Fish House, one of the best anywhere, is just five miles away (expensive but worth the experience).  Paia has good restaurants aplenty.  We also one of the best restaurant for your buck in Haiku called Colleen's, a few cafes and a small grocery store.  And then, there are all the others we tell you about on our bulletin board.
