When locals want to escape the heat, they head up to the rolling hills and expansive pastures of Kula and the quaint communities above of Ulupalakua and Keokea. Kula translates to “open country”, this loosely designated area sits between 1,000 and 8,000 feet of elevation and is known as the breadbasket of Maui. Many farms, both agricultural and equestrian, populate the hillsides.
Relaxed and slow-paced, the area’s farming and ranching history is evident. There are no direct public roads connecting Kula to South Maui, the somewhat isolated feel, cooler temperatures, and stunning bi-coastal views are what draw many homebuyers to the area. Kula is truly a unique slice of paradise.
In addition to the temperate climate, many residents settle in Kula for privacy. The area is known for larger lots that are often free of restrictive homeowner association requirements. Many of Maui’s most luxurious, custom properties are in Kula. If cooler temps, a rural feel, a large custom home, and the upcountry lifestyle are your jam, Kula is for you.
