454 Hoolawa Rd, Haiku, HI 96708 - Maui County

Introducing a masterpiece of modern architecture nestled along the breathtaking oceanfront of Maui’s North Shore, this stunning property offers a seamless blend of sustainable living and timeless design. Embodying the elegance of simplicity, the residence is a livable sculpture in harmony with its natural environment. Two rectangular boxes cantilevered and offset comprise the detached home and office structures, oriented to immerse the resident in the ever-changing palette of makai and mauka views. The bold and clean geometric shapes bathe the interiors in natural light via 38-ft walls of glass. Inspired by globally-renowned architects and ancient design principles, minimalist aesthetics provide for multi-functional spaces and visually pleasing storage solutions including 9-ft sliding shoji doors made from exquisite Hawaiian koa wood to create a “box within a box.” All of the heirloom-quality woodwork was custom crafted locally, adding warmth and sophistication in the form of functional artwork. A generous lava rock outdoor shower epitomizes indoor-outdoor Haiku living along with durable wood-stamped concrete flooring throughout. Embracing off-grid design, the property is equipped with a state-of-the-art photovoltaic system, catchment water with reverse osmosis UV filtration, and high-speed fiber optic internet, ensuring an eco-friendly lifestyle without compromising on modern comforts. The innovative "wind catcher" structure harnesses the trade winds, providing natural cooling and ventilation to complement the whole-house dehumidification system. A neighborhood well provides water for agriculture and a propane back-up generator completes the low-maintenance property. Retractable screens, remote-operated shades, a 730 sf garage, and app-controlled operating systems are additional conveniences. Stepping outside, Italian porcelain tile, lava rock accents, and ipe decking seamlessly blend with the tropical landscape, creating an inviting exterior that merges with its surroundings. The Japanese zen-garden living roof enhances the view of the endless horizon. Bordering a large tract of state land, the fully fenced and gated acreage is secluded at the end of a quiet country road. This serene and self-sustaining retreat includes a bountiful citrus orchard and shoreline access nearby. Plans for a pool and additional dwelling concept are available for those who desire further expansion. With its meticulous collaborative design, sustainable features, and panoramic ocean views, this property offers a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle that is both luxurious and aligned with Maui’s raw natural beauty.
