Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms: Mission Accomplished

Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms: Mission Accomplished

Since 2006, Kaanapali Land Management Corp. has strived to realize a new concept in real estate. The vision for their prized agricultural community called “Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms” combined both a sustainable coffee venture and an exclusive real estate community. It was a unique concept that brought coffee growers together with coffee lovers and one that would continue West Maui’s rich plantation heritage for generations to come. With the last remaining lot currently in escrow, the company can now tout “Mission accomplished!”

Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms’ initial offering boasted a total of 51 estates lots ranging from 4-7 acres strategically located on a 350-acre coffee plantation. Buyers seeking prime real estate in West Maui quickly gravitated to this community that featured one’s very own coffee orchard and panoramic views of the West Maui Mountains and the Pacific Ocean with the islands of Molokai and Lanai beyond. The gentle rolling topography made this property the idyllic site to build one’s dream home and an ‘ohana.

Only five lots remain!

Only five lots remain!

Land developer Kaanapali Land Management Corp. recently announced that only 5 estate lots remain available for sale in Phase 1 in their spectacular 51-lot subdivision in West Maui. Prices start from $855,000.

Many of these remaining lots also boast the best views which is great news for buyers seeking uninterrupted panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean with the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai and the West Maui Mountains.  But the perks don’t just stop there. The icing on the cake is the manicured coffee orchards which give this master planned community a Napa-like feel.  Albeit, instead of grapes, owners take pride in growing the best coffee varietals marketed under the famous MauiGrown Coffee brand which is currently sold statewide, on the U.S. mainland, in international markets, and right here at home at the MauiGrown Coffee Company Store in Lahaina.

Plantation Roots. Plantation Style.

Plantation Roots. Plantation Style.

When land owner Kaanapali Land Management Corp. first started planning their Kaanapali Coffee Farms in West Maui they envisioned a residential community that would pay homage to the area’s plantation roots. Today, their dream has been realized through careful master planning and subdivision design guidelines that are helping to shape the look and feel of this true agricultural community.

The Art of MauiGrown Coffee

Roasting coffee is as much an art as it is a science. Just ask those who have made coffee roasting and brewing their life’s passion – people like Jeff Ferguson, co-owner of MauiGrown Coffee Company Store in Lahaina.

Since the MauiGrown Coffee Company Store opened in 2006, residents and visitors have been drawn to this plantation store which features MauiGrown Coffee’s prized coffee varietals. Thanks to Kimo Falconer, who helped revive the coffee farm; and Kaanapali Land Management Corp., who assembled a dedicated coffee team; several Arabica coffees – Maui Mokka, Yellow Caturra, Red Catuai and Typica – are grown and harvested in the breathtaking Kaanapali Coffee Farms community in West Maui.

... And then there were 12

As Kaanapali Coffee Farms nears the final sellout of its Phase One – a feeling of euphoria is felt among the residents and land developer, Kaanapali Land Management Corp. And, for good reason! Only 12 estate lots remain available for sale – many with the best views – in this spectacular 51-lot subdivision in West Maui. Prices start from $855,000.
