Upcountry Vacant Land

Upcountry Maui offers a different way of life to the communities on its shores, with stunning bi-coastal views and a cooler, temperate climate. There’s an abundance of space in Upcountry Maui, meaning that land purchased here can be used for agriculture, and is cheaper than other parts of the island. Pukalani receives relatively more sun than other nearby communities and has the only golf course in Upcountry Maui.

Nearby Kula is an agricultural community and offers upcountry living at its finest, thanks to its expansive views and potential for estate living. Haiku is an area on the northern coast of Upcountry Maui and receives more rain than anywhere else, and so the lush, green plots in this area are larger than on other parts of the island and are mostly used for agriculture.

Northshore Land For Sale

Paia, Sprecklesville, and Kuau make up the main areas with land for sale on the Northshore, but also part of Haiku is considered Northshore along the iconic Road to Hana. Land on this part of the island opens the door for those magazine cover-worthy custom oceanfront properties. 

 

Land in East Maui

East Maui Vacant Land

East Maui land for sale is the least developed area of the island and is mostly covered with lush, green rainforest dotted with cascading waterfalls. The small community of Hana can be found on the most easterly point of the island, accessed by the hairpin bends and stunning views of the Hana Highway.

Plots of land available to buy here are best suited to building second homes, due to the relative remoteness of the area. 

Building Regulations on Maui

If you’re buying land on Maui to develop, you’ll need to familiarize yourself with local building regulations before starting a project. A building permit is required for any construction, alteration, moving, demolition, or repair of properties on the island. You’ll need to complete a Building Permit Application and submit it to the Development Services Administration.

Several approving agencies may need to review the application before it’s given final approval, and this will depend on the scope of the permit and the location of the subject property. A building permit will expire if work does not begin within one year of approval, or if work is suspended or abandoned for more than one year. Read more information on Maui building permits here.

Know Your Zone And What Is Permissable

You will also need to understand property zoning on Maui before starting construction. Zoning is designed to keep the integrity of the island by managing the development, by ensuring that land is used appropriately, that property value is stabilized, and to promote the health and safety of the communities.

The zoning of the land you purchase will dictate how large your property can be, and how many levels it can have. Read more about Maui property zoning here.
