In 2002, Pe´ahi Farms purchased 240 acres at Opana Point on Maui's secluded north shore — the first step in developing a low-impact, low-density agricultural community. For the rare individual in whom success and social conscience combine, Pe´ahi Farms offers an exceptional opportunity to do good by living well — in a home whose ocean views extend unbroken to the horizon, a community whose vision encompasses a greener, sustainable future for this irreplaceable island. Pe´ahi Farms is located on the Hana Highway just beyond Pa'ia on the north eastern shore of Maui. It is off the beaten track, yet minutes from Kahului Airport, Maui's largest retail shopping center, and The Maui Arts & Cultural Center, the state's first center for performing and visual arts.

Your nearest neighbor is the ocean. At your back door lie pastures that will preserve open space and panoramic views, generation after generation. With such scenic seclusion, you could be tempted never to leave home. Then again, this is Maui, an island of myriad activities and adventures.

The farm itself will provide pleasant diversions. At over 160 acres, there will be plenty of horseback riding and walking, punctuated by lush landscaping and scenic vistas. The homeowners association will have access to equestrian facilities for boarding horses and other services operated by the farm.

Less than a half-hour's drive along the ocean brings you to Kahului, hub of isle commerce, county government, and the international airport — your springboard to the mainland. Convenient daily flights to an ever-widening variety of cities allow travelers to return to Maui in time for a late lunch. A ribbon of white sandy beaches extends along this serene route from Ho'okipa to Kanaha, where families and extreme sports enthusiasts enjoy a variety of activities in this incomparable setting.

A short drive upcountry takes you to Makawao, a former cowboy town turned art colony. Makawao has retained its rustic charm, even as saddle shops and watering holes have given way to boutique stores, galleries, and four-star restaurants, enough to attract the admiration of the New York Times. Closer still is the historic plantation town of Pa'ia. In the decades since Ho'okipa beach gained fame as the windsurfing capital of the world, Pa'ia's picturesque character has acquired a cosmopolitan sheen — the languages of Europe and the Far East mingle with local dialects in the town's great restaurants, eclectic shops, and evening entertainments.
