About 5-461 Kuhio Hwy B
At the gateway to Kaua‘i’s North Shore, this 3.22-acre Waipake property offers privacy, space, and flexibility in a highly desirable location. Backing open pastureland, the acreage enjoys sunsets over the Namahana range and distant ocean horizons. Its setting provides a balance of seclusion and convenience, only 5 minutes from Kīlauea town, 15 minutes to Hanalei Bay, and with straightforward access to the Eastside and Līhue.
The residence, completed in 2008, is barn-inspired in form and modern in interpretation. Fully permitted, the home features concrete floors, tall ceilings, board-and-batten walls, and oversized windows that fill the interiors with natural light. The 1,944-square-foot floor plan includes two oversized rooms, currently used as bedrooms, along with 2.5 baths. The adaptable layout allows for a variety of uses, including guest accommodations, studio space, or office.
The land is planted with mature fruit trees including lychee, mango, avocado, grapefruit, lemon, jackfruit, and starfruit. The open acreage retains the agricultural character of Waipake while also providing space and utility. Deeded guest house rights add flexibility for future planning.
Additional improvements extend the property’s functionality. Two 40-foot shipping containers are located on the lower portion of the land, accessed by a separate entrance, and are accompanied by schematic workshop plans. A storage shed with a half bath and an additional storage structure provide space for equipment or other uses.
This property brings together a permitted residence, open acreage, mature plantings, and useful supporting structures in a strong North Shore location. With its scale, flexible design, and proximity to Kīlauea, Hanalei, and the Eastside, it presents a practical option for those seeking both privacy and accessibility on Kaua‘i.
