Kauai is gifted with some of the worlds most captivating island scenesfrom sandy white beaches and rich green flora, to grand mountains and warm turquoise waters. Travel along the islands coveted North Shore, and near the end of the road youll find a cluster of its most splendid natural sites.
Nestled in its midst is a traditional Hawaiian beach homea peaceful three-bedroom retreat set amid a free-flowing island landscape. Neatly designed in wood and glass, the home channels the easygoing charm of Old Hawaii. Its colorful and sunlit, with plenty of windows and fresh-air spaces.
A generous lanai is at the core of the house. Its the perfect spot to ponder this otherworldly panorama of ocean, coastline and mountains by daythen witness color-drenched sunsets and starlit skies at night. Meanwhile, the homes interior is efficient, with rooms oriented to the views: The living room is a bright, airy space with wood beams along its raised ceiling; adjacent to an exposed upper level that houses an open-plan kitchen and dining area. The real treasure of the home though, is its altitude. Its positioned high enough to offer birds-eye views of the surrounding environment, while remaining close enough to the ocean for impromptu swims, just steps away.
Privacy abounds at this property, particularly along the deck at the rear of the house, which instantly transplants you to a poetic mountain setting. For the home is set beneath the pointy peaks of the famous Mount Makana (Bali Hai), and rests atop an ancient rock garden.
While the property spans about two acres, including a home thats approximately 1,500 square feet, it lives well beyond its borders. Natural treasures surround the place, and the number of fresh-air activities seem boundlessfrom surfing and snorkeling to hiking, swimming with dolphins and outrigger canoe paddling. And when you feel like heading to town, the mellow surf village of Hanalei is about 15 minutes by car.
