How Oahu Does Upcountry
A 5-Acre Hilltop Lot with More to Offer than Just a Great View
As you drive up what appears to be a newly paved road, turn left down a shared, country driveway, and cross acres and acres of land, all the while climbing to the highest house you see ahead – take off your face covering, roll down your windows and breathe the clean Pacific tradewinds turning the windmills that dot the landscape around you. You would be right to imagine a life virtually untouched by pandemics, present or future. You are approaching a modern, design-build home that is completely off the grid.
Similar to approaching Harrods® in London or a new Apple® store, standing outside this familiar Hawaiian-style home doesn’t even hint at the architectural charms that await you inside…starting with a solid pine staircase that appears to float in front of you. Its look is simultaneously modern and pioneer-town; its message is unmistakeable and speaks straight to the heart of your inner child: “Run up! Run up! See what’s upstairs!”
Do your best to shake it off and stay focused; there’s a lot more to see, do, feel, and experience on this land and we recommend you pace yourself. Don’t worry, the stairs will still be there beckoning you to play every time you pass.
Why did you build in Kahuku Maluhia Estates?
“When we first saw this Kahuku property, we instantly fell in love. Not only did it provide space for our large family to enjoy but we found this area provided a peace and tranquility that is a rare find. We have enjoyed the beautiful view of the ocean, stargazing from the fire pit at night and the satisfaction of gardening fruits and vegetables.”

Indoor-Outdoor Living
Outdoors In
In every area of this 2-story home, the tropical climate and refreshing winds flow freely when you open doors and windows. At first, you’d think the home was oriented to optimize the view, but you’ll soon come to understand that its walls of glass doors and windows are of a much higher design mind.
Do this: open the front door and the wall of glass doors behind you. Close your eyes and picture yourself as a master architect standing on the bare ground, eyes also closed, and simply sensing…everything. Notice how the bright but indirect sunlight is not burning you as it passes thru glass? Notice the constant flow of fresh air as it rises from the Pacific and passes easily from the southeast to the northwest but without any gusts turning lamps and vases into projectiles of destruction? Now you know why this home’s north-south axis is tipped a few simple degrees west.
Now, open your eyes and turn around. Yeah, there is also the fully optimized view.
& Indoors Out
Are you obsessed with entertaining? Birthday parties, cocktail parties, baby showers, bridal showers, Super Bowl parties, weekend BBQs, wedding receptions – you name it, you love it? Then you’ll really love the 1st floor with its unobstructed flow between the open plan living/dining/kitchen and the huge covered lanai that virtually doubles the floor space. So, Toastmaster, get at it! (Ya know, or put a simple dining table outside and have a healthy breakfast there every morning.)

“I remember helping Ryan & Rebecca buy this land when it was completely undeveloped. I’m amazed seeing what the family has built, such an efficient and beautiful home…entirely self-sufficient and off the grid. I walk in and it feels like a hug.”

Cookin' with Gas
If you know how to cook with gas, you’re likely not gonna wanna give that up. And you won’t have to. Did someone say, “Cook-off!”
Stainless Steel
The full appliance suite is stainless steel in the main kitchen and both kitchenettes.
Ultimate Control
True that your AC splits aren’t going to run up your power bill but it’s still nice to know that there are 3 distinct zones of temperature control.
Ceramic Tile
In areas of high moisture, like bath & laundry rooms, nothing beats tiles for beauty, water resistance, and easy clean up.
Solid as a Rock
Stone is reliable. Granite is both reliable and beautiful. It’s what countertops were made for.
Elegant Hardware
Like perfect pearl earrings on a woman’s perfect ear, the delicate simplicity of brushed chrome hardware stands in elegant relief against the rustic finish on solid wood cabinetry in the kitchen.
Butcher Block
Farmhouse chic to be sure, butcher block island countertops are the only countertops that can be used as a cutting surfaces because they won’t dull knives and are easily refinished.
Engineered Hardwood
Did you know that engineered wood flooring can be sanded and refinished like solid wood? It’s true. Plus it is more resistant to warping in wet/humid environments.
Solid Cedar
Rot- & pest-resistant cedar is a most durable softwood, offering excellent noise abatement, insulation, and longevity.
Shadow Play
When a house has as many windows streaming tropical sunlight as this one does, you’ll really notice the subtle ways light & shadow reveal the textured environment designed for you here.
Let the Sun Shine
One hundred and twenty-nine 260w PV panels comprize the total array; 90 for home, 6 for well water, & 33 for car charging.
Sol-Ark
Dual Sol-Ark inverters directa electicity from a 23,400v PV array to 15 Simpliphi batteries.
Power Storage
This rack of 18 batteries is charged by a 33-panel PV array and is dedicated to car charging.
Well, well, what do we have here?
A well. And though the water has been tested potable as is, yours comes with sediment filtration and UV sterilization.
2,800 Gallons
PV driven pump refills the 2,800-gallon water storage whenever the sun is up. A separate 120v boost pump pressurizes the property’s plumbing as needed.
70-Year Roof
Metal roofs can last up to 70 years. Even better, this roof & gutter system was put in specifically because it’s best for the PV.
Be Unified
Barn doors are popular; barn doors that truly fit a cohesive design aesthetic are priceless.
Charge it!
In addition to the earth-friendly nature of owning an electric car, the convenience of charging at home on a dedicated system is top-shelf.
Propane
Propane burns cleanly, is more portable than natural gas, and it heats water faster over short bursts than electric heat. Plus, it meets EPA clean air standards.
Safety First
Motion triggered lighting will aid any night-owls-in-residence when walking around the buildings at night.
Simpliphi-ing Life
15 Simpliphi batteries power your life throughout the property.
Eccotemp
Hot water is delivered on-demand and propane-heated by Eccotemp to the workshop.
AIMS Power™
This AIMS Power™ inverter is dedicated to the car charging system.
EVlink
