Discover a unique opportunity to own a versatile property on Kauai—ideal as a private home retreat or a licensed bed and breakfast known as Secret Falls Retreat. This expansive Wailua Rim estate offers stunning, unobstructed views of the Haupu, A‘ahoaka, and Waialeale Mountains.

Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, the property features a variety of fruit-bearing trees, including starfruit, dragon fruit, grapefruit, tangerine, tangelo, and papaya, with accessible avocado and banana trees on adjacent state land.

The estate includes two well-appointed structures:
* Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): A 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom space located above a 4-car garage.
* Main Residence: Positioned on the rim side, this 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home offers expansive lanais and an in-ground, solar-heated saltwater pool. Four ensuite bedrooms are on the main level, with an additional spacious ensuite bedroom upstairs. Fireplaces on both floors add comfort and charm.

A large driveway courtyard connects both buildings, providing ample parking and outdoor space.

Conveniently located on Kauai's East Side in Kapa‘a, this property is just a short drive from beaches, downtown Kapa‘a, scenic hikes, and iconic lookouts. Whether you’re seeking a private retreat or a thriving hospitality business, this unique property offers endless possibilities.
