You’re dreaming of a very special place. A place of utter tranquility and inspiration, where the night sky is filled with stars and the only sounds you hear as you linger on your graceful expanse of lawn are the whispers of gently quaking coconut fronds, and waves breaking on a perfect crescent of white sand.

There’s no need to waken from your idyllic vision. Dixie Maru Cove, named for a shop lost in the Ka Iwi channel during a by-gone era in Hawaiian history, offers a rare opportunity to live your dream. Step through the tropical gates and meander down the path to the private retreat you’ve been yearning for.

Set on almost 30 pristine oceanfront acres, the property’s (MLS# 347362) one bedroom, two bathroom “surf shack” is the ultimate in environmentally-friendly design. Sustainable building materials include red eucalyptus, Douglas fir, ironwood, coconut, and lava stone from Hawaii, Bali, and Borneo. Known to locals as the “Molokai Barn,” it’s the ideal place to hang your boards.

You’ll need plenty for friends and family who’ll want to share the perfect (deserted!) left and right breaks beckoning only a few steps and a paddle from your front door. The cove shelters a colorful reef teaming with marine life—the ultimate snorkeler’s heaven. The catch of the day—mahi, ono, papio—waits just off the rocky point. Imagine firing up the barbecue and sipping on a cool drink after a long day playing in the surf, lazing in a palm-strung hammock, and sailing your Catamaran along the shoreline.

Being offered at $3,400,000, the property’s original plan, created by one of Hawaii’s preeminent environmentally conscious architects, includes several island “hales.” A romantic, Asian-inspired tea house “floats” on a man-made, water-lily studded pond. Use existing plans, or let you imagination go wild as you manifest your own version of Heaven on Earth.

The island of Molokai is deeply imbued with Hawaiian culture and mana (spirit). It is the birthplace of hula and the inspiration for Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s (Brother Iz) unforgettable version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Verdant valley’s, abundant waterfalls, and glistening coastlines, one step on the Dixie Maru property and you’ll know there’s no place like home. Your new home-your dream come true on Molokai.
