Kauai Real Estate – An Easy 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 is a beautiful area of Kauai that is also known by the locals as Alaka’i swamp. While it’s not a real swamp, it is more of a preserve consisting of natural bogs found here. Alaka’i is near Mount Wai’ale’ale, one Earth’s wettest areas, which is shrouded in fog most of the time. The Alakai Wilderness Preserve is a great place for a hike at any time of the day.
Hanalei Bay: In the summer this bay is like glass, lying on the North Shore, a bay with almost three miles of beach on Kauai. It offers a backdrop of waterfalls and high mountains, and the small friendly town of Hanalei is situated about half way along the bay. In the winter the surf is big and great for riding, although the water moves faster than the surf does. The real estate is fabulous, and is available both on the bay and in the town.
Ke’e Beach: This is one of the most beautiful areas on Kauai and is reached by a small foot path. Ke’e Beach sits in the Na Pali Coast State Park and is calm and shallow making it a great place to take the family. Be careful venturing further out beyond the protective reef, as the currents outside the reef can be strong. Anyone would love to live near Ke’e Beach and residential property is close by so you can enjoy this beach any time you want.
Limahuli Garden and Preserve: If you want to buy Kauai real estate that offers the most gorgeous nature preserves and gardens that you are liable to come across in Hawaii, then the Limahuli Garden and Preserve is for you! Limahuli was awarded the best natural botanical garden in the entire United States and received the highest award from the Hawaii Tourism Authority. If want some real estate where you can walk through some of the most fabulous gardens you will ever see, take some spectacular photographs and just enjoy hiking while you absorb the best that nature can provide, then this is for you. This is Kauai Real Estate at its very best and the real estate here is easy to buy – any local realtor will help you purchase your own slice of paradise.
Wailua River State Park: If you like canoeing and kayaking and any other form of water sport, then this is the place for you. Kauai real estate offered here is mainly residential and surrounds the park. The scenery is magnificent, with features such as the 150-foot astounding Opaeka’a Falls that is simply breathtaking. If you buy real estate here you are committed to natural beauty and water sports that will turn any visitor to your home green with envy.
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?
And there you have it, six wonderful reasons to own Kauai real estate simply for the beauty that surrounds it.
