2625 Kokomo Rd (Haiku (Maui))

Tucked away in the lush landscapes of Haiku, this one-of-a-kind residence—affectionately known as Chateau Kokomo—pairs the presence of a grand French chateau with the warmth of a countryside farmhouse. Inside, it feels intimate and timeless, with details like a kitchen fireplace, copper thresholds, and aged parquet floors reclaimed from the historic Halekulani Hotel in Honolulu. The land itself carries a sense of history, once acquired by a local visionary and architecture enthusiast who designed the old-world residence that now stands here. Spanning 2 acres of fertile agricultural land, the estate flourishes as a living garden: breadfruit, jackfruit, guava, avocado, and kukui nut trees thrive alongside young papaya and Meyer lemon. Plumeria, jacaranda, ohia, royal poinciana, and shower trees bring seasonal color, while hand-built rock walls and thoughtfully planted tropical gardens create a timeless sense of place. Inside, light pours through floor-to-ceiling windows and 12-foot ceilings, offering sweeping views of Haleakala from the living room. The atmosphere is serene—birdsongs at dawn, a bubbling fountain by day, and soft garden breezes by evening—creating a retreat that feels both private and magical. The single-level floor plan includes a guest wing with ensuite bedrooms with private entrances and an oversized lanai perfect for reading or afternoon naps, while the primary bedroom opens to a courtyard with hot tub. Generous indoor and outdoor living spaces provide endless opportunities for entertaining, from garden gatherings to shared meals around the massive wooden kitchen table. A vintage commercial cooler, repurposed as cabinetry, adds an unexpected and practical design element. Recent upgrades add peace of mind and efficiency: a new roof and gutters (2023), fresh exterior paint in French-inspired hues, and a Mediterranean limestone wash inside. Custom arched windows, decorative concrete block accents, and a thoughtful color palette elevate the architectural style. Energy costs are kept low with leased solar. A separate caretaker’s unit provides flexibility for guests or creative pursuits. For future possibilities, architectural plans for a 1-bedroom/1-bath ohana may be included with the sale.
