1642 W. Kuiaha Road, Haʻikū, Hawaii – Perched on a sweeping green slope with panoramic ocean and mountain views, this Maui modern estate offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in the 5,493 ± sq ft main residence, along with 2 bedrooms and 2  bathrooms in the private guest house. The property encompasses approximately 18 acres (buyer to verify) including mature tropical landscaping and orchards, outbuildings and land for horse grazing.

Designed by renowned firm SEE Architecture, the estate blends modernist inspiration, natural materials, and serene landscaping into a seamless composition that functions as both a work of art and a private sanctuary. Influenced by iconic museums such as the Getty and the Venice Guggenheim, as well as mid-century modern design and the quiet refinement of luxury retreat spaces, the home stands as one of Maui’s most prominent contemporary properties.

Behind a minimalist facade, floor-to-ceiling glass reveals unobstructed vistas, blurring the line between indoors and out. Natural materials–including vein-cut silver travertine, western red cedar, and walnut crafted by local artisans–anchor the home to its surroundings. 

The structure itself is a precision steel BONE system, designed for longevity and environmental harmony. Inside, the interiors are curated with intention: Florim Italian porcelain tile throughout, custom millwork by Henrybuilt in the kitchen, baths, and beyond, handmade Heath Ceramics tile details, bronzed Honduran mahogany pivot door entry, Forbes & Lorax light switches, Phillip Jeffries woven wall coverings, and Waterworks fixtures and finishes. 

The open-plan layout flows effortlessly from artful entry to the main living spaces, with every room oriented toward the lush, private acreage and distant blue horizon. Beyond the glass, the landscape includes sculptural elements like Chinese scholar’s rocks, a sleek modern swimming pool, and rolling pastures where horses graze. 

A separate guest cottage provides additional space for visitors, work, or creative pursuits, all while maintaining the retreat’s sense of privacy. 

The arrival experience is equally compelling—lush, mature landscaping lines the private drive, creating a verdant gateway cultivated with care and intention over the past 20 years. Established orchards further enrich the property, yielding citrus, avocado, mango, banana, starfruit, and more—a living testament to the land’s abundance and thoughtful stewardship. The stunning landscape design rivals that of a world-class resort, offering an atmosphere of beauty, tranquility and discovery from the moment you arrive.  

A spacious 1,152 sq ft barn sits tucked near a private eucalyptus forest–an elegant, utilitarian complement offering exceptional potential for future use. 

This is more than a residence–it’s a living gallery of design, detail, and tranquility.
