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: Also called the Alaka’i swamp after the bogs found here. The area is filled with beautifully lined trails that are perfect for hikes at any time, and since this area sits on a plateau near Mount Wai’ale’ale, it’s one of the wettest spots on the planet. For this reason, it’s usually covered in fog, creating a great way to enjoy a mysterious, almost surreal, hike in the preserve.
Hanalei Bay: While this is the biggest bay on the North Shore of Kauai, it’s also one of the most beautiful beaches to be found anywhere. Hanalei’s soft sandy beaches are surrounded by beautiful green mountains making it a picture perfect place to call home. And, for those that love the convenience of a town close by, the quaint town of Hanalei sits right in the middle of the bay.
Ke’e Beach: Voted by the islanders as one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, it’s also a great place to enjoy with the family. While you can only reach it by foot path, it is known for having no currents, no waves, and extremely shallow water – which make it the perfect family spot. But, be careful, those that venture further out into the reefs can get caught in the currents on the outskirts of the bay. Want to find some beautiful Kauai real estate close by? There are miles of wonderful areas that you can call your own.
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: 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: No matter if you love the Grand Canyon or not, you will love Waimea Canyon. Made by a massive volcano, the canyon was formed from runoff water over millions of years. The best part is that the canyon is beautifully green year round, so you can always enjoy the breathtaking views, no matter which area of the canyon you are on.
And there you have it, six wonderful reasons to own Kauai real estate simply for the beauty that surrounds it. There are many fine homes and properties located in other Kauai towns and beaches, which you’ll certainly want to review. However it’s pretty hard to beat the natural beauty found in the areas we’ve outlined.
