There are breathtaking views from this newly completed, custom home (MLS# 240506). It has a saltwater pool in a protected courtyard with a large deck for entertaining. The precious hardwoods (marbou, black walnut, afromosia, ipe, Spanish cedar) used throughout the home create a “jewelry box” feel. Every piece of wood was milled and custom cut [...]

They are finding homes they like that are priced much lower than they were 2 years ago, but some are hesitating because they aren’t sure that the “market has hit bottom yet.” Waiting [...]
Here’s a great property and an example of newly “affordable housing” on Kauai: 4304 Anini Vista Drive (MLS# 236531), formerly listed at $9,800,000, now selling to the highest bidder, regardless of price.
At $1.495m, Hale Namahana (MLS# 225466) is quite the buy on Kauai’s north shore. Kalihiwai Ridge and Namahana Farms are two of the most “mauka” (towards the mountains) subdivisions on Kauai’s north shore. They’re also some of the nicest neighborhoods on the island.
