Discreetly positioned off Kula Highway, the approach reveals very little. A winding drive. A narrowing road. Then, through the trees, a freshly painted 1933 guest cottage quietly appears, a subtle introduction to what lies ahead. A whisper of what came before. Keep driving. The landscape begins to unfold. And then you arrive. A refined modern architectural private retreat. Exposed beams. Oak floors. Walls of Andersen windows drawing the landscape inward from every direction. Once cattle ranch land, these twenty-two rolling acres of open pasture and mature eucalyptus and jacaranda have evolved into one of Maui’s most distinctive private estates. Deer move effortlessly through the golden afternoon light. Birdsong replaces background noise. The silence here feels restorative, the kind that settles into you. The former owner named it Pheasant Ridge for good reason. Originally built in 2001 and thoughtfully reimagined in 2019, the main home was designed for a deeply intentional way of living. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together in one expansive, light-filled room anchored by a fireplace and framed entirely by the land beyond. The primary suite faces Haleakalā. The guest suite offers its own en-suite bath and soaking tub worthy of a primary retreat. This is not beach Maui. The air is cooler. The light lingers longer. Life moves at its own pace. Evenings call for the warmth of a fireplace, and there will be evenings worthy of it. A Pilates studio occupies the garage. A separate she - shed is settled into the surrounding landscape. AG zoning and open pasture invite horses, livestock, or simply the freedom of open land returning to its natural purpose.
