About This Home
As of June 2025"Amore Kai" is nestled in a quiet, private location on Kauai’s north shore yet only 10 minutes to Kilauea town. It is accessed by a small country dirt road that takes you back in time. Once inside this gated property, you feel the essence of Hawaii and the sense you have arrived at a truly special place.
This turnkey property consists of a charming plantation style home, separate spa area, carport, workshop, and gardening sheds thoughtfully placed among the extensive tropical gardens on nearly 1 acre of land. The 2200+ SF home consists of 5 bedrooms, 4 baths with an additional 1500+SF of lanais and decks offering multiple indoor/outdoor living areas to enjoy the Hawaii lifestyle. The main level features a light and airy living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, loft space, and an expansive 400SF enclosed lanai that spans the back of the home. The lanai overlooks the gardens, a huge avocado tree and stream below and is optimally positioned to capture the cooling tradewinds. The lower level has an additional 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and opens onto a large flagstone lanai where you can walk out to the back yard and pick fruit from the citrus trees.
Engineered koa wood floors, a lava rock shower, vaulted ceilings, French doors are just a few of the locally sourced materials and traditional Hawaiian architectural features used throughout the home. The property is well maintained and has been updated with granite counters, stainless steel appliances and newer roof along with many other improvements.
Amore Kai is a unique offering and won't last long. Buyers are encouraged to discuss Kauai permitting and zoning regulations with their Realtor and county offices.
