A roughly 370-acre stretch on Maui’s North Shore has quietly hit the market, billed as a chance to stake out a private ranch or build a multi-home estate, with an asking price of about $15.9 million. The property sits in Waihe'e Valley and runs from near the shoreline up toward the ridgeline, taking in both ocean and mountain views. Listing materials pitch the land as private and well watered, a sizable and unusual offering this close to Wailuku and Kahului Airport.
MLS and public listing pages show the property, roughly 370 acres in all, listed at $15,875,000 and marketed through Coldwell Banker Island Properties. According to Redfin, broker Joshua Chavez holds the listing, which pencils out at a price per acre of about $42,900. Pacific Business News has reported that a Florida-based entity moved to put the land on the market as subdivision permitting advances.
What the Tract Includes
Listing descriptions say the parcel runs alongside the Waihe'e River, with elevations ranging from roughly 200 to 1,300 feet. Three existing water wells are described as the backbone of a planned private water system. Marketing materials and MLS writeups outline plans for preliminary approval of a 24-lot subdivision and note that the property can be combined with neighboring oceanfront acreage to create a larger holding. Those details appear across brokerage and MLS platforms, including Realtor.com and Showcase.
Permitting and Local Context
On Maui, large land sales and proposed subdivisions regularly draw scrutiny tied to water use, public access and coastal protections, and this listing is poised to face similar questions. Reporting and local court filings show that environmental groups have repeatedly challenged county changes to coastal and special-management permits, creating a more contentious review environment for projects seen as trying to skirt broad SMA oversight. As coverage by Civil Beat and filings from groups such as Maui Tomorrow indicate, buyers pursuing subdivision or development near the coastal edge should be ready for community pushback and close regulatory review.
How this listing ultimately plays out will hinge on what a future buyer wants and how quickly permits move: plans for a single-owner ranch or private estate would face a different path than a proposal to build out multiple lots. The parcel has been publicly promoted on MLS sites since June, with broker contact information posted for interested buyers.
