Overview of Kaanapali Coffee Farms
Kaanapali Coffee Farms is a unique community on Maui that combines high-end real estate with sustainable agriculture. Located on the slopes above Kaanapali Resort, this former sugar cane plantation now offers spacious lots for residents to build custom homes. While each 4-7 acre property includes an acre for personal use, the majority of the land is dedicated to a working coffee farm. This partnership between residents and the Maui Grown Coffee company allows homeowners to enjoy the ambiance of a rural estate while contributing to sustainable agricultural development. Even the homeowners association fees are designed to support the coffee farm operations, potentially reducing future costs for residents.

Kaanapali offers some of the best views on Maui. How they laid out the build sites throughout the project maximized the view planes. Many lots offer expansive Molokai and Lanai views
What We Could Do Without
The wind and red dirt in the Coffee Farms is something that needs to be planned around. With proper landscaping choices, this can become a non-issue, however, during the phase of landscape maturation, you will want to expect dealing with the elements.

Primary Uses
Long-Term Rental
Long-term rentals are considered six months or longer here in Maui. You avoid some operations costs such as cleaning, higher management fees, and higher tax rates; however, you are likely to get more income running your unit as a short-term vacation rental. Long-term rentals also offer less flexibility for owner stays.
Second Home
If your goal is not to maximize your ROI but to simply use the unit as you please, you can do so. You would pay the highest and best use for real property tax, but you would not be subject to the taxes (see below) associated with income-producing long-term properties.
Owner Occupant
If Maui is where you want to call home, the owner-occupant is the one for you. If you spend 270 days out of the year on Maui and your unit is your primary residence, then you can apply for the Owner Occupant exemption (frequently asked questions)
