Purchasing Kauai Real Estate - Your Own Heaven on Earth
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: This is a beautiful area of Kauai that is also known by the locals as Alaka'i swamp. While it's not a real swamp, it is more of a preserve consisting of natural bogs found here. Alaka'i is near Mount Wai'ale'ale, one Earth's wettest areas, which is shrouded in fog most of the time. The Alakai Wilderness Preserve is a great place for a hike at any time of the day.
Hanalei Bay: The largest bay on Kauai's North Shore where you'll find over two miles of beautiful beach back dropped by lush, green mountains and waterfalls. For those who love a wonderful small town with beautiful scenery you will want to visit the town of Hanalei, which sits mid-point of the bay. You will find some breathtaking real estate both in the town area as well as on the bay itself.
Ke'e Beach: This is one of the most beautiful areas on Kauai and is reached by a small foot path. Ke'e Beach sits in the Na Pali Coast State Park and is calm and shallow making it a great place to take the family. Be careful venturing further out beyond the protective reef, as the currents outside the reef can be strong. Anyone would love to live near Ke'e Beach and residential property is close by so you can enjoy this beach any time you want.
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.
For anyone wanting to enjoy the true Hawaiian beauty that Kauai offers - these are six great places to start. Of course, there are some other areas around the island you'll want to check out also, to make sure you find the perfect place to call home on Kauai.
