The Land of Everyday Rainbows – Kauai, HI

Hawaii Life — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 03:45:39 +0000

I took this rainbow photo (below) from my lanai off my house in Kalihiwai Ridge in Kilauea yesterday morning, and I wanted to share with you how everyday magic happens here in the Land of Rainbows. Throughout the world, and especially Hawaii, rainbows have been seen as a lucky sign, a beautiful bridge between Earth and the heavens.

Since we have such a perfect balance of sun and rain here on Kauai’s north shore, the rainbow has come to symbolize harmony and dreams come true. Kauai is known as The Garden Island, but to those of us who live here, it is known as “The Garden of Eden.”

(“Somewhere Under the Rainbow” photo by Mahana Dunn)

When I was little, I loved the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and I always wished and dreamed that I could live in that magical land. “Why, oh why can’t I?”

Well, I stopped wishing and now live in the most beautiful area that hosts rainbows on an almost daily basis, each one more spectacular than the one before. You actually begin to know exactly when one of these “sky paintings” are about to appear…when the sun and clouds are just right. You begin to think the word rainbow—and voila!—the rainbow appears.

This is one of the very special things about Kauai that makes me smile. If you too would like to live in the land of everyday rainbows, please ask me how!

Kauai Homes and Land – An Investment More Valuable Than Gold

Hawaii Life — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:30:49 +0000

There has been a plethora of discussions lately, both in the media and on investor’s minds… “Where is the safest place to invest my money now?”

For those of us who have lived in Hawaii for more than a decade, owning a home and land here is much more valuable than gold. For those who live where I am, we believe that the north shore of Kauai truly is the “Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow.”

(“More precious than gold”—Kauai sunset photo by Mahana Dunn)

As I continue to watch the money markets go up and down, and the price of gold soar and then fall again, I am reminded how fickle our economy is. For years, people have said that gold is the safest place to invest, yet as I have said all my life, “You can’t eat gold!” As the price of gold falls again in today’s market…it is simply another beautiful day here in paradise.

Kauai is the ideal place to live year-round, where there is an abundance of clean, fresh air, fresh island fruits and vegetables, and lots of healthy mana (“life force” in Hawaiian). The lack of stress here is palatable, especially compared to the mainland.

The clean and clear eyes of the young children who were born here says it all. Everything flourishes here on Kauai in great abundance and it truly is very difficult to have a bad day. No matter how hard you work, or the amount of responsibilities you have, you have many moments throughout your day to simply take a moment and a deep breath, and feel how good it is to live here and how healthy Kauai is for the mind, body, and spirit.

If you are fortunate enough to own land here, you can be as healthy as you want by planting your own garden, having animals like horses, dogs, or goats, and living a life where each day you are putting your energy into your future of health and happiness. And if you have children, you will watch how happy they are playing, growing, and learning in such a nurturing atmosphere.

If you and your family are interested in living the “Golden Life” on Kauai, please contact me today for more details on island life, real estate, and the sunset report!

Deal: North Shore Kauai Luxury Home

Matt Beall R(B), Owner, Principal Broker — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 00:32:15 +0000

After a $450,000 price reduction, the Perry Residence on Kauai’s north shore is back on the market at $3.45m, making it the best deal in the luxury home market.

Kauai’s luxury inventory is dwindling quickly, especially on the north shore. Finding a relatively new home with views and quality construction is proving to be more and more of a challenge. In the $2m to $4m range, for example, there are only 14 homes listed for sale on an acre of land or more. Of those 14, only a few are particularly exciting. (I realize that’s my personal bias, but after a quick tour of the market, I think most would agree).

The Perry Residence offers views like no other property on the north shore. Situated on the rim of the Kilauea River Valley, looking out over the river and down the ocean. The architecture and quality of construction make this house one of the best listings for luxury real estate on Kauai.

Spectacular “Secret Beach Hideaway” 34 Acre Ocean Bluff Estate For Sale on Kauai, Hawaii – Open House August 5, 4-7 PM

Hawaii Life — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 06:30:01 +0000

Surreal oceanfront Secret Beach estate, the secret is out…

Secret Beach Hideaway is approximately 34 sprawling ocean bluff acres magnificently overlooking 2/3 mile of Kauai’s most beautiful north shore beach…”Secret Beach.” This is the largest contiguous acreage on the pristine agricultural Kauapea Rd., home to Kauai’s most distinguished neighbors.

Kauapea Rd., situated adjacent to the famous Kilauea Lighthouse, is one of the most alluring locations for privacy, peace, and quiet, and has the most epic sunset views you can imagine.

The Secret Beach Hideaway is comprised of 3 parcels with 2 existing guest homes and zoning for 6 houses. This very special land has never been for sale like this before and boasts the ultimate in Kauai living. Complete with an organic nursery, park-like ponds, and waterfalls, this home has trails that lead down to Kauapea Beach (Secret Beach).

Secret Beach is, in my opinion, the most beautiful beach in the world. You can actually swim with dolphins in the morning and watch whales breach for sunset…right from your own backyard.

This is truly one of the most stunning properties available now. This property is not listed in the MLS, so please contact me today for more information about this private listing of an extremely rare estate. I invite you to meet me and view the estate during our Open House this Friday, August 5 from 4-7 p.m. The address is 2908 Kauapea Rd. Kilauea, Kauai.

137 Acre River Ranch For Sale on Kauai’s North Shore – 1,000′ River Frontage Land with First Class Equestrian Facility

Amy Marvin, RA — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:06:54 +0000

Waterâ€”The world’s most precious commodity. With over 1,000 feet of mountain stream frontage, Kauai’s 137 acre River Ranch (MLS# 223962) has an endless supply.

Many predict that in the future water will be more valuable than oilâ€”and interestingly enough, we’ve recently shown the River Ranch to clients from Russia who are specifically looking only at large acreage with its own water supplyâ€”and the potential for self sufficiency.

This rolling Kilauea acreage, listed at $7.995M, is some of the most fertile land on Kauai. Dozens of fruit and citrus trees and a thousand tropical hardwoods (mahogany and cedar) have already been planted, a working cattle operation provides supplemental income, and ag dedication keeps property taxes low.

Got horses? The River Ranch includes a 2,000 square foot barn with caretaker’s quarters, a 3,500 square foot attached garage, and a 1,200 square foot stable (four stalls, tack and feed rooms). These aren’t just “any” out buildingsâ€”check out the Rocky Mountain hardware and travertine counter topsâ€”no expense has been spared in creating a first class equestrian facility.

Extensive fencing, solar PV, and underground utilities are already installed, and there are several lovely home sites with mountain and waterfall views. Only ten homes are allowed on the gated, 1,400 acre master parcel, assuring ultimate privacy.

Why pay millions for a smaller property with an ocean view when you could own over one hundred acres on the north shore of Kauai with river frontage and your own private swimming hole?

Contact me for more information.

The Best Time in 50 Years to Invest in Hawaii Real Estate

Hawaii Life — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 01:00:35 +0000

“This is the best time in 50 years to buy a home. If you don’t own a home, buy one. If you own a home, buy another one, and if you own two homes, buy a third and lend your relatives the money to buy a home.” —John Paulson, Hedge Fund Giant (personally made $5 billion in 2010)

This statement is exactly what is being said in the upper echelons of America’s most successful business people. Another statement Mr. Paulson said was, “when people are optimistic about the economy, be cautious, and when people are cautious about the economy, be optimistic!”

In my humble opinion, there is no better place to live on the entire planet than right here on the pristine North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii. Allow me to explain why…Crystal blue waters, verdant green valleys, and smiling friendly faces. Each day on Kauai is truly paradise indeed.

When I was only 7 years old, my parents came back to Palm Beach, Florida, where I am from, and showed me the most stunning pictures and videos of epic waterfalls, surfing, and the most amazing flowers I had ever seen. I was so amazed by what I saw, that I knew I had to live in this heavenly place as soon as I was old enough. When I asked where this island of dreams was, there was only one simple answer…Kauai.

Kauai truly is the place of dreams come true. This is the healthiest living in the entire world; fresh local grown food, fresh fish caught from our waters, and free-range organic beef. Our laid-back lifestyle is one that you quickly get used to, trading your business suit for a bathing suit and board meetings for board shorts.

The word “aloha” you hear more than any other. “Aloha” not only means hello and goodbye, its true meaning is love. Its deeper meaning is “the joyful (oha) sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present (alo).” That is what you experience living on Kauai; love for your island, love for your neighbor, and love for each moment you get to enjoy living in paradise. Once you fall in love with the Garden Island of Kauai…it’s a love that lasts forever.

Please contact me for more information about living in paradise and check out these amazing homes for sale in my neighborhood (MLS# 202128), (MLS# 245388), and (MLS# 240120).
