Located on the slopes of Haleakalā and just down the road from Pukalani, this charming town is known for its ranching culture, local boutiques, galleries, and a welcoming main street that feels worlds away from the island’s coastal resort regions. Makawao celebrates the legacy of the Hawaiian cowboy, the paniolo, a tradition that continues to shape the town’s identity and annual rodeo events.

Makawao real estate consists of plantation-style homes, spacious Upcountry estates, and properties with open yards ideal for gardening, animals, and outdoor living.
