Freistehendes Einfamilienhaus Kula

Above it all, in Kulamanu. High on the northwest flank of Haleakala in Kulamanu, 82 Kulamanu Circle sits in Upcountry Maui where the air is cooler and residents enjoy a slower, quieter environment than down on the coast. What makes this property special is it’s vantage point: panoramic views that run as far as the eye can see, from the valley below to where the West Maui Mountains rise across the isthmus, and the ocean shines on both horizons. Part of the pleasure of living in Kula is watching the day rearrange itself. Clouds chase each other across the sky and repattern the skyline hour by hour, so the view is never quite the same twice, and the air stays calmer and less windy than down at the coast. The yard is level and landscaped to be enjoyed, with established borders of plumbago, ti, and banana around an easy stretch of sunny lawn. Inside, the vaulted great room frames the jaw-dropping (and stress-reducing) bi-coastal view in a wall of glass. The granite kitchen carries a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, a center island plus a breakfast bar, and a generously sized walk-in pantry. Wake up each morning to private ocean views from the primary suite, which is finished with a dual vanity, a jetted soaking tub, a walk-in shower, and heated towel bars. A lower-level bonus suite finds an ocean view bedroom, full bath, large separate living area, and direct access to the lower deck. The lower living area also captures ocean views. This suite is ready to fit the life you bring to it. The upper wrap-around lanai runs nearly the full width of the house, with a partial wood-plank ceiling and an outdoor fan above and cable railing intentionally design so that nothing interrupts your horizon vistas. Dinner faces the sunset every night from this special perch. One level down, a second full-length covered deck carries a built-in outdoor kitchen with sink and counter seating, and steps down to a level, grassy lawn. Morning coffee faces the sunrise side, and evenings end with the lights across the isthmus coming on below. This is the Upcountry pattern of living: cool air, open doors, and the island itself providing the entertainment. Morihara Store and the Wednesday and Saturday Upcountry Farmers Markets are minutes away, while Kulamalu Center covers the daily errands, and Makawao and Pukalani are both close by. Kahului, with the airport and Costco, is about twenty minutes out, as are Paia Town and the North Shore beaches. The island’s best private schools are within fifteen minutes. The lot adds real privacy with open space between homes, a lush, green vista on one side and neighbors scattered at a comfortable distance. Whether becomes your everyday address or the place you come to find your peace whenever you can, at this property, you can arrive with a suitcase and start living
