While owners at Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms are snug in their beds, it’s not visions of sugarplums that are dancing in their heads this holiday season but plump, red coffee cherries!

At Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms, they are in the final weeks of harvesting, and oh what a year it’s been! This year’s harvest of their four exceptional varieties, including the famous Maui Mokka, is anticipated to be record-setting. Perfect timing too with Maui Mokka recently selected as one of the premium coffees to be served inflight on Japan Airlines’ Hawaii routes.

But there’s more than meets the eye at Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms. For some it’s the spectacular panoramic views of the West Maui Mountains and the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai. For others it’s the distinction of a private community offering 4- to 7-acre estate lots with your own manicured coffee orchard reminiscent of a Napa Valley scene. But all agree that it is the lifestyle that sets this community apart – a tranquil oasis that blends the best of old world charm with modern day sensibilities. It is home.

“The Kaanapali climate is the best and combined with the Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms’ beautiful open spaces surrounded by amazing coffee plantings and great ocean and mountain views, what more could anyone desire in a place to live?,” said Jack and Lyn Muegge, two of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms’ newest owners who will break ground on their dream home soon.
Roger and Joyce Amadon, homeowners who are enjoying the community’s relaxed and serene lifestyle couldn’t agree more. “There is simply nothing like it. It is the best!”

Self tours of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms are available 7 days a week, 9 am to 4 pm. For more information, call (808) 662-0000 or Rohn Stark R(B) of Platinum Properties Hawaii at (808) 870-5571.

Home Sweet “Rainbow House”
Lahaina News, July 7, 2011

When developer Kaanapali Land Management Corp. envisioned their first model home in the Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms community in West Maui, they created a beautiful estate inspired by the area’s plantation roots. Today, their “Rainbow House” is the epitome of modern-day plantation life set amidst a breathtaking manicured coffee orchard.

Situated on 5+ acres, this 3 bedroom, 3½ bath estate features approximately 3,600 square feet of living space opening out to over 2,400 square feet of lanais. The expansive lot allows for privacy in a serene setting. The home is exquisitely designed, integrating the highest quality finishes with a casual yet elegant feel. 10-foot high sliding doors frame picture perfect views of the Molokai Channel and the neighboring islands, a refreshing saline pool beckons, a gourmet kitchen and Great Room with an 18-foot vaulted ceiling provide the ideal venue for entertaining, and a master retreat with an en suite and wet bar inspires the ultimate pampering.

“The Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms’ Rainbow House ranks second to none to other estate homes on Maui,” said Rohn Stark R(B) of Platinum Properties Hawaii. “The quality of this home and the surrounding acreage makes this property very special at the offering price. It is a perfect blend of luxury and plantation-style living. The fact that this home is furnished with very elegant appointments makes this a turnkey purchase very tempting for any discriminating buyer.”

The Rainbow House is offered at $3,895,000. For information, contact Rohn Stark R(B) at 808-870-5571.

A collection of the latest news from the premier agricultural community of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms in West Maui:

New pricing reduces inventory
Since the developer announced new pricing on select estate lots in Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms, buyers' interest has been at an all-time high. Recently, Lots 15 and 26 were sold and the real estate buzz continues over these exceptional offerings. Now is the time to take advantage of this extraordinary opportunity with 4- to 7-acre lots starting from $525,000.

Good news amidst coffee industry's "Perfect Storm"
MauiGrown Coffee, the only certified 100% MAUI Origin coffee in the world, anticipates a good year. Although they estimate a short crop in 2011 – 230,000 pounds of green coffee versus 323,000 pounds the previous year – they'll still come out ahead thanks to the global coffee market's "perfect storm." Factors which are helping to boost business for growers like MauiGrown Coffee are directly linked to the scarcity of coffee worldwide, the recent inventory reduction of Hawaiian coffee, and consumer's growing demand for specialty coffees.

MauiGrown Coffee is cultivated on approximately 400 acres set amidst the spectacular Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms neighborhood. Lot owners enjoy their own mature coffee orchard – just one of the many perks of living at Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms.

A tank with history
If you haven't visited Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms lately, you're in for a treat! A recent beautification project has put back the shine on the old Ka‘anapali Water Company Sand Filter Tank. Located at the entry to this community, the old filter tank on Wili Kope Road is a remnant of West Maui's past marking the transition from a once thriving sugar plantation to resort development.

Self -tours of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms are available 7 days a week, 9 am-4 pm. For more information, call (808) 662-0000.

West Maui's Hidden Gem: Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms
Lahaina News, April 15, 2010

It always makes me smile when people visit the master planned community of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms for the first time. It's as if they just uncovered a rare gem – dazzling and breathtaking under a warm tropical sky. They are excited to see more, to learn more about this undiscovered upcountry oasis, to immerse themselves in the area's rich agricultural roots, and to imagine what it would be like to live in this spectacular community.

I understand their genuine excitement completely. When we talk about getting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, I think of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms. When we talk about avoiding the traffic and congestion that often times plagues West Maui, I think of Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms.

Here on 300 idyllic acres lies a true agricultural community far enough removed from urban life, yet close enough to enjoy the white sand beaches and world-class amenities of Ka‘anapali Beach Resort. Even the short 1 ½ mile drive up from the highway to Ka‘anapali Coffee Farm's entry is nothing short of breathtaking with iridescent colors sparkling off the slopes of the West Maui Mountains and makai and mauka views that seem to go on forever. Spacious 4-7 acre estate lots offer ample room for families to grow and build their dream home. Rows of coffee plants laden with ripened cherries or white flowers (depending on the coffee season) add splashes of color to the rich greenscape – as if Napa, Upcountry and Hana were rolled into one minus the travel time. Life moves at a slower rhythm where one can rejuvenate and relax. The air feels cooler, the rainbows and sunsets more glorious…gosh, even the birds sing louder here. Well, the latter might be a slight exaggeration, but you get my point. Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms is a one-of-kind real estate gem.

But don't take my word for it. Come see Ka‘anapali Coffee Farms for yourself! Take a free map at the project's entry and enjoy a self-tour of this world-class property and learn more about the area's rich agricultural heritage.
