Haiku Luxury

$6,995,000

It’s not every night you get to dance poolside, barefoot, and underneath the stars. In this private north shore hideaway, however—which sits on 39 tropical acres—magical moments are a daily occurrence, from the time the sun ignites morning rainbows that traverse past your ocean view bedroom, to showering outdoors while bathed in moonlight, after cocktails on the expansive coral stone courtyard. This serene, six-bedroom, private estate is the ultimate retreat for hosting family or groups of visiting friends, and is capped by stunning architecture and design, from the Japanese-inspired, cedar shake roof and Hickory woodwork in the kitchen, to Balinese-infused, outdoor showers accompanying four of the bedrooms. Your morning coffee is backed by the sound of birdsong raining from the trees, and in winter it’s common to spot Humpback whales without even leaving the table. Tradewinds naturally cool the home while groves of bamboo and Royal palms preserve the peace of afternoons bathing in the softness of the saltwater pool. There’s a deep connection with nature throughout, from the view stretching up toward Haleakala’s summit, 10,000 feet above the shoreline, to the rainwater catchment system and the sun’s energy harnessed from 96 PV panels on a separate, 4,000 sq. foot barn. It’s here you’ll find an expansive garage, movement studio, gym, and a two-bedroom apartment, where visiting guests can reach the main home by strolling across manicured, grassy terraces for a meal in a welcoming, open-air dining room than can seat many guests. Perhaps after eating you’ll take a few of them on a trek to the coast through the tropical jungle, or explore the beaches, waterfalls, and thundering waves of Jaws and Ho’okipa, just minutes away from this spectacular sanctuary of calm. Or, if you simply want time to yourself, to escape, reflect, and unwind, this is a perch where time doesn’t just stop—it feels like it no longer exists.
