This lovely plantation style home is named for the land it sits so proudly upon. Nearly 100 years ago, the hillside lands Kalaheo were designated homestead lands. Parcels were sold to families who would live on the land and cultivate crops or trees. Six generations of the Rita family have grown up on the land surrounding this beautiful home. Thus, "Kuakahi" - homestead.

Relax in the cool breeze on the large front porch and enjoy the distant ocean and mountain views. The home has three beautifully appointed bedrooms, two baths, a large sunny kitchen and spacious dining and living rooms. The two car garage with a full laundry room is detached from the house.

NOTE: Smoking is NOT allowed inside the home.

Kalaheo is known for its cool breezes as it was built on two hillsides with the main highway running between them. (View Kauai Map) Kuakahi is located on the mauka (mountain) side and faces the ocean. Because we're on a private road, we have no street address. We simply say we're "off Puuwai", near Kalawai Park (a favorite walking/jogging area, soccer and baseball field for local teams, with a playground for kids, and tennis and basketball courts open to anyone). Kuakahi sits on a large lot surrounded by other large lots and pastures. It is a 5 minute drive west to Salt Pond Beach, a favorite local swimming and camping area. To the south, a 10-15 minute drive takes you the to Poipu Beach area, a very popular swimming spot for locals and visitors alike, as well as attractions like Old Koloa Town and Spouting Horn.

Kukuiolono Golf Course (9 holes) is a quick 3 minute drive from Kuakahi. The rates are cheap and the view from the park is gorgeous. Its Japanese Garden is a popular place for weddings and family portraits.

Kalaheo boasts great places to eat including Brick Oven Pizza, Camp House Grill, Pomodoro's Italian Restaurant, Kalaheo Steak House, and the Kalaheo Coffee Company. All are within walking distance of Kuakahi.
