R-2 zoned, gated, 1-acre, zen-like tropical sanctuary above Opaekaa stream. This connected pod-style home w/ 9 ft+ ceilings, covered walkways, lanais, and an outdoor shower is perfect for an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, offering tranquility and the convenience of Eastside living, minutes from Kapa'a town, beaches, hiking trails, and all that Kauai has to offer. Pod 1 is the primary bedroom suite, featuring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, AC, abundant windows and glass doors, a built-in daybed with storage, custom bookshelves, and a large built-in desk. The en-suite bath features a custom shower and a Japanese furo-style soaking tub overlooking the stream. Pod 2 with AC forms the heart of the home, blending the kitchen with open living and entertainment areas. The kitchen includes an island, a 4-burner linear stove with a stainless hood vent above, two separate sinks, generous counter space, a pantry, and an oven. A rustic barn door adds charm, and a half-bath for convenience. Expansive windows and glass doors flood the space with natural light and views of the trees and stream. Hardwood floors tie it all together. Pod 3 is the 2-car parking garage with storage closets and the laundry area. Mature landscaping includes food-producing trees such as avocado, coconut, bumpy lemon, breadfruit, Rollinia, and more. Recent upgrades include a new split-system air conditioning and a 5-bedroom septic system, which provides a jump-start for multiple dwellings or for expanding the original 5-pod concept into your ideal island compound. This rare R-2 opportunity combines unique architecture, thoughtful upgrades, and multi-unit (CPR) potential on a lush, productive acre in the heart of Wailua. Close by are the Wailua Country Store (hot food and cold drinks), Sleeping Giant trails, and the Wailua Homesteads Park with a playground, dog park, tennis courts, basketball, and soccer facilities. https://player. vimeo.com/video/1208298318
