Kauai Real Estate Is A Great Choice
Purchasing Kauai real estate offers you the opportunity to live in your own piece of heaven that offers everything you could wish for in natural beauty. If you are looking for the thrill and excitement that a large city can offer then go elsewhere, because real estate on Kauai offers you tranquility and the chance to get away from big cities, and just relax and appreciate life. Here are six reasons why:
The Alakai Wilderness Preserve: For anyone that loves a great hike, this is the area to do it. It’s also known as the Alaka’i swamp because of the bogs that are native to this area of Hawaii. And, since the preserve is located on the plateau that sits on Mount Wai’ale’ale, you will find that it really lives up to being one of the wettest places on Earth. Almost constantly covered in a misty cloud, it’s very mysterious and romantic at the same time.
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: 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: Who doesn’t love a beautiful, breathtaking hike through one of the most beautiful natural gardens in the United States? This preserve won both “The Best Natural Botanical Garden” in the United States and the top award from the HTA (Hawaii Tourism Authority). There is so much natural beauty here and it is easy to find a beautiful piece of Kauai real estate close by to enjoy it even more.
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?
So there you are. The six most attractive sites offering Kauai real estate that you could find. Perhaps they don’t suit you, but you will look far and hard to find anywhere offering the same degree of natural beauty anywhere in the world.
