142 Wahikuli Rd

Lahaina, HI 96761

Affectionately known by the family as Da Castle, The Hasegawa home has served as a gathering place and has embraced not only social, political gatherings, weddings and family functions, but long life and prosperity. The Hasegawa Lahaina heritage began in the late 1800s when the family arrived from Japan. The family lent their services to help businesses in the horse and buggy community, and helped found the Lahaina Jodo Mission. George Hasegawa studied at Mills School in Honolulu, and returned to Lahaina and purchased the property at 142 Wahikuli Homesteads. While a student in Honolulu, he fell in love with a beautiful home he passed on a daily basis. The owner of that home embraced Georges idea of building a Gustav Stickley home in Lahaina, and lent him a set of plans. The home was completed in 1929. When George became a Magistrate, he officiated weddings on the wrap-around porch at sunset behind his Daughters piano renditions of Here Comes the Bride and his wife Florence continued providing marriage licenses to locals and visitors for decades. This home is a historical, time honored Lahaina home and is looking for a special buyer who will honor the significance of this classic Craftsman bungalow.
