This enchanting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home captures the essence of a classic Kokee cabin, offering a peaceful and private retreat on 12.41 acres of lush land at the end of Kahuna Rd. in upper Kapahi. Perfectly tucked away from the world, this property provides the ultimate sanctuary, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. For those familiar with the area, Kahuna Rd. has long been a coveted location, known for its rural tranquility, meandering Kapaa Stream, and the local swimming hole affectionately called "Johnny Tex. "As you wind up the long, private driveway, you’ll be greeted by an idyllic setting with a beautifully manicured front yard and the serene backdrop of State land at the rear of the property. The tri-level home is designed to take full advantage of the stunning surroundings, with breathtaking views from every window. Experience the awe-inspiring sunrises over the ocean or marvel at the dramatic mountain vistas as the Tradewinds carry clouds and rain through the valleys. Positioned at the base of Makaleha Mountain, you can enjoy daily displays of cascading waterfalls and rainbows, making this property truly one-of-a-kind. The home boasts high ceilings, large picture windows, and a cozy sunken living room with a wood-burning fireplace. It’s an ideal space for relaxation or gathering with loved ones. While the house is solidly built with longevity in mind, some minor updates could personalize the kitchen and other areas to your taste. A detached garage and additional warehouse provide ample storage space and room for yard equipment, perfect for maintaining the lush grounds. With over 12 acres of land, this property qualifies for the construction of two homes—each of which can include its own guest house under recent changes to zoning laws for Agricultural land. The peaceful surroundings and seclusion are rare on Kauai, offering you the ultimate escape while still being close to the best of what the island has to offer.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
