Why the Owner Chose Haiku
As explained above this is family land, but even if it was not we would have purchased in Haiku. Our area is tropical, with green fields and beautiful flowers. We are in the "non-tourist" area of Maui. Waterfalls and the Bamboo Forest are just down the street. Haiku town has a place to get a latte, as well as the best fish taco stand on island. We have two groceries not over two miles away, two bakeries, numerous restaurants -including Mama's Fish House. Best of all there is a real sense of community.
The Unique Benefits at this House
To awaken to bird song is my favorite moment of the day. Ron's would be the time he spends on his tractor. We love the view of the gorge and the ocean from the Lanai where we sit having out coffee. We find working the land and making the space ever more beautiful truly joyful. We share that joy with our full time caretakers, Alain and Elizabeth who live in the cottage at the other end of the property. To jump into the pool at the end of the day and then into the hot tub to enjoy a glass of wine is pretty terrific. We are proud of what we have created and love to read the comments that our guests make after they too have felt the magic.
Owner's Map of Haiku
We are the Wilbur’s, Ron and Barbara. Our property is family land. Ron’s paternal grandparents were born in the islands, grandfather and father on Maui . We purchased 5 acres of the original 30 acre parcel homesteaded by Ron’s paternal grandmother from his father in 1975. The land had been leased for pineapple. We first planted all five acres in a type of Protea, not a successful venture. We then more sensibly planted palms, which we continue to do to this day. We also have tropical flowers and our newest venture is growing Vanilla orchids (that is where the Vanilla bean comes from)
We built our home in 1985 with a full remodel in 1999. We have children and grandchildren on the mainland – the appeal to spend time with them is great. This allows time for others to share our much loved home.

The true meaning of the word, Paradise. With a contented sigh, we let all our worries go and enjoyed everything about this amazing property. It feels like someone's well-loved and perfectly maintained home except all the dresser drawers and closets are empty and ready for the new arrivals. Comfortable beds, a beautiful koa kitchen, big living room were perfect for our family--and that was just the inside. Outside is one gorgeous vista after another. The caretakers are just a quick call away but all was so perfectly prepared that we never needed their help. Please save space for us next year.
