The Story Behind a One of a Kind Haiku Estate
0 E Waipio Road is unlike any other Haiku estate because of its glorious cliff side locale over Waipio Bay and the deep blue Pacific Ocean. Not only is it the location that makes this property unique, but it is because of the seller who calls it home. International rock legend, Sammy Hagar bought this 10 acre property more than 20 years ago and is now ready to move on from it.
In written statement via PBN, Hagar said, “We bought the property because at the time we were looking for a private retreat. The property had everything we were looking for — lots of land, self sustainable, private incredible view.” But all great things must come to an end Hagar continued, “We are selling the property because we have been taking on more projects, and we aren’t able to get to the Islands as often as we like.”

Although Hagar has enjoyed the property over the years, he has just gotten too busy lately to really enjoy the property and live the kind of lifestyle the home offers. He’s been on a full tour schedule throughout the year and has been traveling all over the mainland witch his current band, The Circle. Hagar is even busier with the opening of his 2nd Hawaii restaurant, Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill in the Honolulu International Airport.
10 Acre Private Haiku Property: 0 E Waipio Road
Brought to market in early November 0 E Waipio Road is a premier 10 acre cliff side Haiku estate that offers the true off the grid lifestyle many people seek in Haiku. Set on a private retreat behind a gated entrance, this oceanfront escape is a world of its own. Lined with stately palms and sprawling green lawn and tropical flora, you have everything on this property to live a farm to table lifestyle! A few local celebrity chefs have even had the pleasure of sharing a meal prepared by Hagar only using what was available on the property.
The main home is an excellent single level floor plan that was intention designed to take advantage of the expansive oceans views and evoke a sense of subtle elegance. The indoor and outdoor lifestyle is incredible as there is a saline pool (with hot tub & cabana bath) that crafts an atmosphere of fitness or relaxation. Also on the property is a 600 sqft cottage complete with its outdoor living area, so it is the perfect place for guests or an additional living area. The Hagars built the retreat with sustainability in mind and included: a private well, water catchment system, solar electric, Tilapia fish pond, fruit trees, & terraced vegetable gardens bring fulfillment.
“We’ve entertained and jammed poolside with our musician friends Kenny Chesney and James Hetfield and cooked for celebrity chefs like Emeril Lagasse, Roy Yamaguchi and Sam Choy,” Hagar said. “We love hosting our friends to an island ‘farm-to-table’ meal … gathering all the fruits and vegetables and catching our own tilapia – all grown and gathered on our property.”

Haiku Gem Sold by the Sayles Team
With a Kokomo address, this Haiku property sits on a flag lot so it is tucked away from the road noise and secluded with ample privacy because of the large bushes separating the properties. The property is located in a convenient location from Makawao and Kula Highway, so there is easy access to explore Upcountry living or the convenience of town.
We brought this compound to market in mid August and it immediately attracted the interest of buyers; after some great showings, it only took 3 days before an offer was accepted and we were able to enter escrow. Sitting on more than 1/2 acre with a home and a cottage, the property is a fantastic value for the buyers because of the possibility to rent one structure out while living in the other.
