Breathtaking Areas In Kauai Real Estate You Don’t Want To Miss
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: 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: 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: 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: 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: While it is not near as deep as the Grand Canyon, it is more stunning as it’s filled with beautiful, lush trees, flowers, rare bird species only found in Kauai, and other wonderful sights. One thing that the Grand Canyon doesn’t have is a massive volcano in the middle, which is what helped to create the Waimea Canyon in the first place.
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.
