Maui Agricultural Properties Zoning

On Maui, living in harmony with the natural environment is a top priority. Agricultural zoning allows Maui property owners to not only have a farm, but to have a large degree of flexibility in how they use their property. Agricultural zoning is also the most flexible zoning classification when it comes to subdividing, and many take advantage of this through the CPR process which I will describe later, if you're not already familiar. 

Numerous agriculturally zoned neighborhoods on Maui strike a harmonious balance between development and nature. This agricultural zoning designation, also known as AG zoning, allows for multiple residential homes to be constructed under…

Maui Things to Do

Let me start by saying, I love Maui. Like, really love it. I’ve lived on Maui since 2010 and have had the great fortune of experiencing so many fun things around the island over the years. When I first moved to Maui, I worked in the activity sales business and we were invited to enjoy all of the fun island activities like the Molokini snorkel cruises, luaus, helicopter tours, ziplines, literally everything, for free.

ROAM Maui Offers Exclusive Luxury Air Travel 

Roam Maui

While both of these options have benefits, they are also riddled with inconveniences and disadvantages that make them less than…
