505 Alae Road is truly unique—a magical Upcountry hideaway framed by flowers, gardens, and panoramic views stretching acrossocean views and the majestic West Maui Mountains. Charming, quaint, and timeless, this 1952 plantation-style cottage blends the nostalgia of a bygone era with the thoughtful comforts of modern living. Whether envisioned as a seasonal retreat or a year-round residence in Maui’s treasured Upcountry, the home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience—tucked away just enough, yet still close to the essentials of daily life. Situated on 1.28 acres with Rural ½-acre zoning, the property captures the essence of Upcountry living: invigorating fresh air, sweeping open vistas, and a peaceful sense of seclusion. Over 1,000 square feet of thriving edible gardens flourish alongside colorful flowers, creating an enchanting environment that feels like stepping into a storybook. While honoring its vintage charm, the home has been enhanced with thoughtful upgrades, including a remodeled kitchen, updated interiors, and a 22-panel PV solar system. Here, you can truly escape the ordinary—immersed in the natural beauty, tranquility, and timeless charm of Maui’s Upcountry—without giving up the conveniences that make life comfortable and deeply enjoyable.
