Hana: Oceanfront Living Without the Crowds

Even in Hawai’i, there are few places where you can truly enjoy the islands' natural wonders without the crowds.

But Hana, Maui is one of the state’s most untouched paradises. On all of Maui, Hana is one of the last communities where you can truly live oceanfront without having a neighbor in sight. And nearby, you can explore dozens of tropical waterfalls, often empty beaches and scarcely populated hikes that truly create the feeling that you’re traveling back in time.

For those looking to escape from it all, Hana might be your perfect home. We made a list of a few of our favorite properties in one of Maui’s last undeveloped regions:

Hana Highway | $12 million

Dubbed the “crown jewel” of the Hana coastline, this 61-acre property is situated on sweeping, lush pastureland that’s nestled next to one of Maui’s most precious beaches – Hamoa Beach. The property boasts its own private cove that’s part of roughly one-half mile of oceanfront pastureland - acreage that’s nearly impossible to find on any other part of Maui.

Besides the spectacular ocean views, this property could also provide tax benefits through conversation easements. With peace and privacy that only comes with undeveloped spaces, this property is ideal for continued ranching or the creation of a legacy estate or retreat.  

Hana Highway | $7.25 million

Where else on Maui could you find a 90-acre oceanfront property? There are few other places than Hana.

With views that sweep from the lush slopes of Haleakala to the azure waters of the `Alenuihaha Channel to the Big Island, this once-in-a-lifetime property could transform into your tranquil and tropical retreat. This property offers the best of both worlds, as it’s nearby the famed Hamoa Beach and adjoins Waikoa Pond, also known as Venus Pool, on its southern border. Better yet, it boasts one-quarter mile of coastline, a stretch of paradise only found in this part of Maui.

47640 Hana Highway | $4.8 million

On Maui’s west or south shores, it can be difficult to find expansive oceanfront properties, especially ones that are offered for less than $5 million. But if you’re looking for privacy, quiet and breathtaking ocean views, look no further than this three-bedroom home nestled on 5 oceanfront acres that’s listed for $4.8 million.

With 2,456 square feet of living space, this estate features an oceanfront pool and views that sweep across to the `Alenuihaha Channel and the island of Hawai’i. There’s an expansive lanai perfect for entertaining or enjoying the natural wonders that this part of Maui has to offer. The home, which is offered turn key, is also just minutes from Hamoa Beach and within walking distance of Waikoa Pond.
