Build your dream home on this exceptional 10,470 SF homesite on Albert Road in Princeville. Currently the least expensive homesite available on Kauaʻi's North Shore, it offers an outstanding opportunity to own in one of the island's most desirable resort communities. Backing to a lush greenbelt, the property enjoys added privacy with no homes directly in front or behind. Located within a Vacation Destination Area (VDA), the property offers the flexibility to build a primary residence, second home, or vacation rental. Architectural house plans are included. The gently sloping topography and orientation is ideal for a multi-level home designed to maximize living space and capture the island's tradewinds. This homesite is a short walk to shopping, dining, tennis, golf, playground, and 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay via a paved 2 mile walking path. World-class northshore beaches, scenic trails, and endless North Shore adventures are just minutes away.
Hanalei Ahupua`a, located between Hanalei Bay and the Haleleʻa Forest Reserve, is a coastal and valley Princeville neighborhood with taro fields and a river-to-reef landscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hanalei Center on Kuhio Highway, where surf shops, galleries, and casual eateries set an unhurried, salt-air rhythm. Plantation-era cottages and low-slung homes sit beside broad green belts and mountain views that shift with passing showers. Hanalei River and its bridges shape daily movement through the valley. Community touchstones include Tahiti Nui, Hanalei Bread Company, and the Waiʻoli Huiʻia Church. Beach paths, river launches, and farm roads keep the setting grounded in land and water.
