New Home on the Market in Kula Kai – Upcountry Maui

We recently listed a lovely home in Kula Kai located at 37 Manu Street at $799,000.  This 2,150 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is situated on 13,900 sq. ft of land.  The front lanai offers views of the West Maui Mountains, the Islands of Lana’i and Kaho’olawe and spectacular sunsets.

Kula Kai is one of Maui’s favorite Upcountry Maui neighborhoods.  Back in the early 1970’s a group of local developers subdivided 60 acres of pastureland into 135 home sites, each consisting of 1/3rd of an acre.  Kula Kai is located approximately 2,500 feet above sea level on the foothills of Haleakala. Homeowners love their neighborhood and swear it has some of the best year-round weather on Maui.  Some Kula residents will go a step beyond and claim it has the best weather on the planet!

There are many great attributes to living within the Kula Kai community.  First, the terrain is gently sloped offering optimal mountain and ocean views for the home sites. Second, developed 40 years ago, many of the trees and landscaping are mature, bestowing character, shade and privacy to the surrounding homes.  The streets of Kula Kai meander throughout the neighborhood and provide a challenging exercise path for residents. While Ka Drive will drive up your heart rate, the side streets of Mano, Kau, Mauka and Manu are somewhat level and are perfect for catching ones breathe.   A drive through the neighborhood during the early morning or evening hours and you’ll find many residents out for their aerobic workout.

Kula Kai is considered part of middle Kula.  At this elevation you’ll find the morning hours and nights cool and pleasant.  Temperatures will drop down into the 50’s -70’s, while days are typically clear and sunny with temperatures warming up into the mid 70’s and 80’s.  Located on the leeward side of Haleakala, the Kula District is protected from strong trade winds.  Annual rainfall ranges from 15 to 25 inches.

Lastly, Kula Kai is about a 10 to 12 minute drive to Pukalani with Long’s Drugs, Pukalani Superette, Foodland and the local banks.   Kahului Airport, Costco and heart of Kahului Town are all generally 20 to 30 minutes away.
