Makila Nui is an exclusive hillside residential community that has a rare blend of expansive agricultural living and bespoke luxury. It comprises 13 agricultural zoned lots, positioned from the immediate inland side of the Lahaina Bypass up the hillside, where its properties back onto a forest reserve.
Originally home to ancient Hawaiian settlements used for fishing, taro cultivation, and irrigation, Launiupoko became a private estate of
King Kamehameha V in 1859. The area remained in royal hands until 1917 when
Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop sold it. Launiupoko has since evolved into a coveted residential community, celebrated for its quiet, laid-back ambiance, sweeping ocean vistas, and elite residences.
Property Characteristics - Lots range in size from 5 to 51 Acres.
- Every home is single-level, the interiors measuring from 1,000 to 6,600 Sq Ft, offering 2 to 5 bedrooms and 2 to 5.5 bathrooms.
- The dominant style of residences is Hawaiian Modern, characterized by open floor plans in the living areas, high ceilings in the social/living rooms and doors that fold or retract to erase the indoor/outdoor divide.
Location - Immediately west is Launiupoko Beach Park (0.5 miles), which features a beautiful sandy beach with gentler wave conditions, natural pools, and a preserved Ancient Hawaiian temple.
- The picturesque black sand Awalua Beach is close by (2 miles) as well, perfect for relaxation and enjoying the ocean scenery, though its rocky bed makes it less suited for swimming.
- Lahaina Recreation Center (3 miles north) provides many recreational options, including softball and baseball fields, basketball courts, a soccer field, an aquatic center, a dog park, and a playground.
Features & Amenities - Most properties have converted to Condominium Property Regimes (CPRs). This legal structure allows the land to be divided into two or more legally distinct ownership homes - though they continue to function as single-family residences - while sharing common elements such as a private roadway.
- Homes often boast a suite of high-end amenities, including large private pools with cabanas, spas, multi-car garages, outdoor showers, porte cochere entries and more.
- The properties affords residents panoramic ocean views that stretch to the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
Makila Nui gives you the opportunity to own a substantial, private agricultural estate with a custom-designed luxury home that is deeply connected to Maui's natural beauty, all while enjoying modern comforts and a profound sense of tranquility.
