Makila Ranches is an elite, Agricultural zoned, residential subdivision in the
Launiupoko area of Lahaina, renowned for its quiet, laid-back ambiance, sweeping ocean views, and luxurious residences. Its 22 homesites offer a unique blend of spacious agricultural living with high-end modern comforts.
Originally home to ancient Hawaiian settlements used for fishing and farming, Launiupoko later became a private estate of
King Kamehameha V in 1859, who established a temple, shrines, and burial grounds, marking it as a spiritually vital area. After passing from royal hands in 1917, Launiupoko evolved into the coveted residential community it is today, prized for its tranquil atmosphere and stunning vistas.
