Kawela Plantation II
Posted by Lydia Clemens on Thursday, August 02, 2007
The traditional land division in old Hawaii called “Ahupuaa” extended from the ocean to the mountain. This ensured access to all the natural resources required by the Hawaiian community — fish from the sea, crops from the fertile low lands, wood, water, and wild game from the mountains.
Kawela was, and is again, an “Ahupuaa.” A community of 210 families each with their two-acre agriculture lot, a three- and-one-half acre ocean park to launch their boats for fishing, and approximately 5,500 acres of land for agricultural use, and game hunting in the mountains. Water is provided by a private water system owned by the homeowners of Kawela.
Each lot has a spectacular view of the leeward coastline, Lanai, Maui, Kahoolawe and the Kalohi Channel. Each lot gives each owner the ultimate privacy for living.
