2874-a Kauapea Rd

Perched above Kauai’s most iconic stretches of North Shore coastline, this extraordinary 1.3-acre property offers the rare privilege of private access to legendary Secret Beach. The 2,076-sq-ft residence, built just 12 yrs ago and meticulously maintained by its original owner, is nestled within a lush botanical sanctuary of tropical plantings, fruit trees, and tranquil water features. At the upper level, ocean and sunset views stretch across the horizon, while expansive stone lanais and sliding glass doors welcome the island’s gentle trade winds and blur the line between indoors and out. Sapele wood flooring flows throughout the home, including the open kitchen with its custom breakfast bar. Bathrooms are finished in natural stone and tile, and a striking Sapele wood and glass spiral staircase rises beneath a dramatic pyramid skylight, creating a sculptural focal point at the heart of the home. Designed for comfort and self-sufficiency, the home is fully air-conditioned and equipped with a whole-house water filtration system, tankless water heater, and a 14-panel owned photovoltaic system. Highlights include a dedicated dance and exercise studio; a tropical outdoor shower off the half bath; copper gutters and trim, and generous storage throughout. Custom teak and Sapele furnishings are included, allowing the home to be enjoyed immediately as a refined island retreat. The property also offers exceptional flexibility for the future. Infrastructure is in place to support expansion, including underground electrical for a spa and pool. An attached 446-square-foot garage and covered carport provide ample space for vehicles and outdoor equipment suited to Kauai’s adventurous lifestyle. Offered fully turnkey, this home includes everything from a fully appointed kitchen to a well-maintained Nissan Juke housed in the garage. Concept plans created by the original designer, an established local Kauai architect, are available to expand the home into 3-bedrooms, 3.5-baths.
