Happy St. Patricks Day!  It was rainy day on the north shore of Kauai but I feel this type of weather is sometimes the best way to view properties.  In addition to the obvious benefit of seeing whether there might be any leak in the roof, I like to observe how the water drains on a property.  It was coming down in buckets at one point and I saw an excellent example of water moving in the right direction!

Here are the listing on todays' Realtor caravan:

Remarks: High Quality. Low Price. This Private Paradise Home is nestled in tropical landscaping with pond, rock waterfall, and fully fenced back yard on a half acre of land close to Kilauea town. The open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, crown molding, marble and hardwood floors, and granite counter tops welcomes you to the comfort and beauty of living in an up-scale newer home. Built in 2006 by a contractor for his own use, the construction exceeds anything available in its price range. Features like dual pane windows, Cement Hardie Board Siding, Brazilian Rosewood engineered flooring, and extra heavy insulation, to name a few, speak of the care and attention to detail this home offers. The two master suites have their own bathroom, and the extra bedroom with a hallway bath makes for a perfect office or guest quarters.
The over-sized garage has a work space with built-in cabinets and hook-ups for laundry. The side yard with surrounding vinyl fencing is safe for children to play, and private to enjoy outdoor living at its best. From the outside lanai and from the great room you will enjoy the sites and sounds of a custom rock water feature having a 3-tier waterfall, Koi ponds and tropical foliage—truly a work of art!

NOTE: THERE IS NO ACCESS OFF PUKALANI. PLEASE USE PRIVATE CONCRETE DRIVEWAY ON KOLO ROAD SHARED BY Kingdom Hall.
