This property has fractional or shared ownership. Hale Hui—The Gathering Place Envisioned in the 1970s and brought to life over a decade by a Maui shipwright whose craftsmanship shines in every detail. Built off-grid, the home showcases majestic ohia paired with koa, monkey pod and white oak hardwoods. The result is a residence of rare character and artistry, impossible to replicate by today’s standards. Hale Hui overlooks park-like grounds alive with birdsong. Mature Sharwil avocado, multiple citrus varieties, and cherished Cherimoya thrive here. Two seasonal ponds, an equestrian structure with she-shed, workshop/carport, garden shop, rose house, imu, generous front and rear lanais, and sweeping Pacific Ocean views complete this extraordinary setting. The kitchen has koa cabinetry, a walk-in Butler’s Pantry, and custom built-in dining. The octagonal living/dining space provides tree top views across the property and ocean beyond, and includes a flagstone wood burning fireplace and koa shelving. The primary features expansive windows, a ½ ensuite plus primary ensuite with an Indonesian furo tub, separate tiled shower, dual pedestal sinks, walk-in closet, and concealed laundry. Up the wide koa spiral staircase, the 2nd bedroom mirrors the home’s octagonal design with a soaring cupola ceiling, walk-in closet, abundant natural light, and hidden ship-inspired storage. The landing nods to a Bird’s Nest lookout. Down the lava rock steps, a 3rd bedroom with ensuite echoes a sailor’s quarters with raised twin beds. Rooted in the rich soil and storied hills of Paauilo, this nature retreat lives in harmony with its surroundings. Wander lush tropical gardens, harvest from 100+ white pineapples, gather fresh eggs, and enjoy cool breezes and warm sunlight. This is the essence of life on the Hamakua Coast.
