On The Market: Kauai, Hawaii
January 1, 2007
Location: On Kauai’s North Shore
in the town of Kilauea, which is known for its dramatic landscape and winter
swells. The property, a 55-acre estate, is approximately one-and-a-half miles
from the beach and is nestled within a 1,500-acre preserve, which includes the
country’s largest working guava plantation.; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
Background: The home was
designed by Seattle architect Ross Anderson and completed in late 2003. (Click image to enlarge)
Stats: The four-bedroom,
6,000-square-foot main house is designed as a cluster of pavilions that are
connected through breezeways. All of the walls slide open so that the entire
home receives the island’s trade winds. There is also a 3,000-square-foot
multiuse building with one bedroom, a gym, an office and a furniture workshop,
as well as a Balinese-style pavilion that overlooks a waterfall. The large site
includes equestrian trails, running trails, mountain views, several natural
waterfalls and rivers that flow through the property to form five natural
freshwater swimming pools.; function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
What Sets It Apart: "The setting
is spectacular," says broker Neal Norman. "Only 10 homes can ever be built on
the 1,500 acres, and there is a rule that none of the homes can overlook each
other, so the property will always re-main underdeveloped." (Click image to enlarge)
Market Inquiries: $18 million. Neal Norman,
