Mahanalua Nui / Makila Estates Active Land

Mahanalua Nui is the master agricultural subdivision encompassing the Launiupoko hillside community above Lahaina on West Maui's leeward coast, developed by Launiupoko Associates LLC across four phases and completed in 2006. The subdivision comprises 153 agricultural lots ranging from two to nine acres, positioned on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains at elevations that deliver panoramic Pacific Ocean views toward Lanai, Molokai, and Kahoolawe. Within the broader Mahanalua Nui framework, the Makila sub-communities — Makila Plantation, Makila Ranches, Makila Ridge, and Makila Nui — each occupy distinct positions on the hillside, from the lower Ranches parcels closest to Launiupoko Beach Park to the upper Ridge lots backed by the West Maui forest reserve. Launiupoko is the only community on all of Maui served by a dual water system, with both potable and non-potable irrigation water available to each parcel — a practical advantage for agricultural use that is not replicable elsewhere on the island. The HOA maintains a network of greenbelts, roads, hiking and cycling trails, and a streambed park through the Launiupoko Valley. Approximately 75% of parcels in the community have been structured as Condominium Property Regimes (CPRs), enabling the separate ownership of a main home parcel and a cottage parcel on a single agricultural lot.

Vacant agricultural land within Mahanalua Nui and Makila ranges from two to nine acres, with parcel value driven primarily by elevation, view quality, and position within the hillside community. Buyers acquiring vacant land here should confirm the CPR status of each available parcel — whether it has been structured as a two-unit CPR and, if so, which unit is being offered — before proceeding, as this determines what can be built and whether a cottage can be added or sold separately in the future. The dual water system providing both potable and non-potable irrigation water to each parcel is a material advantage for any agricultural or landscaping program on the land.
