A rare offering indeed. "Ka Makani Ahea", named for the special breezes in this area, is an 11.73 acre estate in exclusive Kilauea Farms Mauka. Two homes are on the property and current zoning allows two additional homes plus a guest house to be built. The entry to the property has a solar powered automated gate for maximum privacy. The entry road crosses over the Waiakalua Stream on a sturdy wooden truss bridge. The road then winds past a cozy cottage with a two car garage and work shop set in landscaped and manicured grounds. The road turns to concrete and ascends a heavily wooded hillside scattered with massive lava rock boulders. At the top is an elevated plateau. This is the site for the main home which has a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside, Crater Hill, the mountains, and the ocean horizon from Pila'a to Makana. This main home, built in 1993, is a modern custom home with a style that succeeds admirably in reflecting the best of the 1920s Hawaiian plantation style. The home features high ceilings, transom windows over interior doors,a large walk in pantry, an office/library, bird's eye maple floors in the kitchen and dining area, two large storage attics, built in music speakers, fitted hurricane covers for windows, and solar water heating. The landscaped grounds have many mature fruit trees including banana, various avocado varieties, grapefruit, tangerine, key lime, meyer lemon, pomelo, breadfruit, and coffee. The grounds also include extensive plantings of tropical flowers and foliage which have been used in the past to create professional floral arrangements. This property is a whole lot and not an Ag condo ... something very rare on Kaua'i. Ka Makani Ahea is a lovely private estate which gains extra value through the possibility of adding two more homes plus a guest house if the new owner desires. You will find no other property quite like this on the North Shore.
