Priced to sell at over $100,000 below assessed value! Just steps from Moloaʻa Beach and bordering a tranquil stream, this relatively flat parcel is ready for development. The owners dedicated 13 years to clearing the title, allowing the property to convey free and clear of the historic encumbrances once associated with Moloaʻa Hui Lands. One owner, an architect, has prepared a thoughtful lot layout plan for buyer review, already accounting for required setbacks from the stream and road, as well as septic placement. This is a rare opportunity to own property in the small, rural community of Moloaʻa, known for its temperate climate, year-round growing conditions, and peaceful, private setting. The land features mature fruit trees and a quiet street atmosphere. The true highlight is the proximity to the beach—literally steps from one of the North Shore of Kauaʻi’s most beautiful and secluded beaches. Limited parking keeps this stretch of shoreline uncrowded, making it easy to walk over and enjoy your own personal slice of paradise year-round. Property qualifies for one dwelling.
Moloaa Ahupua`a, located between Moloaa Bay and Anahola, is a coastal and rural Kilauea neighborhood with a pocket beach and a stream-cut valley. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Moloaa Road at the bridge over Moloaa Stream, where ocean air, ironwood shade, and a quiet two-lane rhythm set the tone. Homes read as low-profile and landscape-forward, with long driveways, lanais, and lots that blur into pasture and guava thickets. Moloaa Bay’s crescent shoreline frames morning paddles and winter surf checks. The valley’s greenery and trade winds shape a slower, outdoors-first routine. Evenings tend toward dark skies and the sound of waves rather than storefront bustle.
