in 2015, a family from idaho built this home for one purpose: to bring everyone together on the ocean in maui. a place where children and grandchildren could land, spread out, and stay awhile . a decade later, it is offered for the first time. fee simple, sandy beachfront on the quiet end of halama street, built by smith builders maui with materials chosen to outlast the people who chose them.
inside, the craftsmanship is deliberate and quiet. douglas fir wainscoting, artisan wallpaper, rocky mountain hardware. five ensuite bedrooms, so everyone has their own space and no one is underfoot. the primary suite claims the entire upper level: dual closets, a dedicated office, its own laundry, and an oversized covered lanai exclusive to the upper floor. ocean views to the front, mountain and garden views beyond. whoever owns this home can host the whole family and still have somewhere to breathe.
the kitchen, dining, and living spaces open directly to the coast. pool, lawn, palms, then sandy beach, then ocean. the pacific is not a backdrop here. it is the reason for all of it.
the 3-car garage includes an upstairs ohana, ready for an onsite caretaker or extended family overflow. monier tile roof, hardie siding, copper gutters: a home that locks, leaves, and waits without complaint. quiet enough to feel removed. close enough to kihei’s dining and conveniences that proximity is never a question. this is what multigenerational ownership looks like on maui.
