Breathtaking Areas In Kauai Real Estate You Don’t Want To Miss
If you are considering purchasing Kauai real estate, there are some lush, beautiful areas that you just cannot miss when you are searching for your dream property. From beautiful beaches to lush forests, Kauai offers something for everyone. Check out these six areas on Kauai before you decide on any one spot:
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: The largest bay on Kauai’s North Shore where you’ll find over two miles of beautiful beach back dropped by lush, green mountains and waterfalls. For those who love a wonderful small town with beautiful scenery you will want to visit the town of Hanalei, which sits mid-point of the bay. You will find some breathtaking real estate both in the town area as well as on the bay itself.
Ke’e Beach: One of the island’s most beautiful beaches, Ke’e Beach is only reached by a foot path into the Na Pali coastline. You’ll find a beautiful, shallow beach here where there is little current and very few waves. For those with families, this is a wonderful place to spend the day with the kids, swimming and snorkeling in the clear blue water. There are some absolutely beautiful patches of land around the area, and you can easily find a Realtor to help you purchase property near this beautiful beach.
Limahuli Garden and Preserve: For any outdoors person who loves hiking and some breathtaking natural views, this preserve is where you want to be. You’ll find that it lives up to the awards that it has won – such as the best natural botanical garden in the US – and you won’t want to miss anything here when you hike. There are residential areas nearby that have homes and vacant land you can purchase from which to enjoy the views and wonders of Limahuli Gardens.
Wailua River State Park: For anyone into kayaking or canoeing, who loves hiking and massive, 150-foot waterfalls, this is the park for you. Wailua River is Hawaii’s only navigable rive and home to Opaeka’a Falls, which can be seen for miles. There are several residential areas close by from which to enjoy all this state park offers throughout the year.
Waimea Canyon State Park: Although the continental US has the Grand Canyon, Kauai has the Waimea Canyon. Formed by a volcano millions of years ago, this canyon is filled with lush forests, beautiful rivers and waterfalls, wonderful flora and fauna and is the habitat of rare and endangered birds found only on Kauai. Located on the West Side of Kauai, Waimea Canyon is convenient to historic Waimea town and the Kekaha beach community.
These are only six of the wonderful areas you’ll find on Kauai. There are other communities and towns on Kauai, each of which offers their own charm, you’ll want to check out. There’s no shortage of beautiful locations and residences on Kauai from which to find your dream home.
