About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to Kauai’s castle on a hill. Designed in 1995 by architect Stefan P. Schweitzer and completed in 2000 for the Duarte family. This architectural wonder has become legend and has been redesigned and reimagined just for you. Majestically perched on over 1/2 an acre of land where you will enjoy horizon kissed ocean views and hillside vistas from the sweeping enclosed lanai and patios. The dramatic vaulted ceiling and graceful winding staircase and newly refinished oak hardwood floors greet as you enter through the dramatic double doors. Continuing inside you can see that this home is as practical as it is beautiful. Enjoy the convenience and privacy of 3 oversized on-suite bedrooms and bathrooms. One located on the main floor and a fourth bedroom that currently serves as a guest room/office. The perfect set up for multigenerational living. The transitional kitchen is expansive with a bounty of storage and counter space. A separate dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and the large floor plan allows for several dining areas and viewing experiences. Heading outside the possibilities are endless. The large lot has potential for ADU /Ohana and the two car garage and large out building provide plenty of storage. Come see it for yourself and make this castle on a hill your dream home.
