Do you love the feeling of community but don’t want to be within arm’s reach of your neighbor’s living room? Maybe you’ve considered acreage but worry it might be more work than you’re up for. You want space, a sense of openness and privacy, but not something that requires a full-time crew to maintain.
On Kaua‘i’s North Shore, most property options fall into one of two categories: compact subdivision lots (often under 10,000 sq ft), where homes are close together, or larger 3- to 5-acre parcels, which offer space but can come with more upkeep than many buyers want.
I often hear, “We’re looking for about an acre, with views, close to the beach, but not too much to manage.” That sweet spot is rare, but every now and then, a property checks all the boxes.
If you’re someone who values a little more elbow room, space to garden, relax, and enjoy open views, but don’t want too much to manage, this 1.5-acre parcel on Kāhiliwai Ridge might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. All just minutes from beaches, hiking trails, and the shops and restaurants of Kīlauea.
The land is flat and build-ready, featuring mature landscaping, beautiful shower trees, and expansive views of the Namahana mountain range.
Kāhiliwai Ridge is one of the North Shore’s most desirable communities, set at a quiet, higher elevation just above Kīlauea town. It strikes a perfect balance: a sense of community with the added privacy that comes with larger lots. A well-paved road winds through the neighborhood’s 10-mile stretch, where you’ll often see walkers, runners, and families enjoying the day. Nearby, the community dog park and the Stone Dam trail offer easy access to outdoor recreation and connection with neighbors.
While most parcels in Kāhiliwai Ridge range from 3 to 5 acres or more, this 1.5-acre lot on Kahiliholo Road is a rare and valuable find. It offers all the benefits of acreage room for a custom home, a guesthouse, gardens, or a small barn—without the overwhelming maintenance of a larger estate.
And the location? It feels like a private retreat, yet you’re only minutes from the restaurants and shops of Kīlauea and the iconic beaches of Hanalei Bay. At Kāhiliwai Ridge, you get the best of both worlds: privacy without isolation, space without excess, and a true neighborhood feel where connection and quiet coexist.
