Kauai Real Estate Is A Great Choice
When considering purchasing Kauai real estate, there are some areas that are just downright beautiful to the point that it can be hard to choose where to buy. But, depending on what type of scenery you love, you can narrow down your choices until you find that perfect spot. Here are six beautiful places in Kauai for you to enjoy:
The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: This area of Kauai sounds like the last place heaven would be, yet it is precisely what paradise is to many people. Although the locals refer to it as ‘Alaka’i swamp’ it is not a swamp, but a natural preserve of bog land. These bogs are great to hike at any time, and were created by their proximity to Mount Wai’ale’ale, which is one of the wettest places on earth. If you enjoy nature then this is a great place to explore and ‘discover’ for yourself the rare plants and birds that live here.
Hanalei Bay: Those that are looking for tropical Kauai real estate need look no further than Hanalei Bay. This is the biggest bay that lies on the island and is located on the North Shore. With over two beautiful miles of soft, sandy beaches for you to enjoy, you will love the green mountain backdrop that surrounds the area. And, with the beautiful town of Hanalei right in the middle of the area, you’ll find some of the most gorgeous real estate in the world.
Ke’e Beach: This is the ideal area for a vacation home. It offers some the best unspoiled real estate on the island, and if you have children and love swimming and snorkeling, then this is about the best Kauai real estate you could purchase. The water is clear and quiet, with few currents and next to no waves. The climate is fabulous here on the Na Pali coastline, and you couldn’t ask for more if you want solitude and peace away from the city. There is some great land around here to buy for a fabulous vacation home.
Limahuli Garden and Preserve: Love a good hike through some of the most spectacular gardens and nature preserves that Hawaii has to offer? The Limahuli Garden and Preserve offers just that. With awards such as the best natural botanical garden in the US and the top award from the Hawaii Tourism Authority, who could ask for a better place to enjoy the day, some photography, or just a walk in the Hawaiian sunshine? Want to find some Kauai real estate near this beautiful park? You won’t have a problem here, and there are a number of local-area Realtors who will help you.
Wailua River State Park: While this state park is the place to go for canoeing and kayaking, it’s also home to one of the most beautiful waterfalls on Kauai -Opaeka’a Falls. This 150-foot waterfall offers breathtaking views from miles around and the Wailua Homesteads, a neighborhood affording fabulous views of the falls and river, is home to popular real estate in Kauai.
Waimea Canyon State Park: Mark Twain called this ‘the Grand Canyon of Hawaii’, and while it has a long way to go to emulate the depth of that state feature, it contains a lot more natural wildlife and is more stunning to see. It has a massive volcano right in the center, which is what created the canyon originally, and the flowers, trees and rare birds it contains are found only on this island. It is more like Hawaii’s Galapagos than Grand Canyon, and if you purchase your Kauai Real Estate here, you will have something unique that none of your friends or relatives will have. A piece of nature and a piece of history: unique and original! How cool is that?
