5151 Wainiha Power House Rd, Hanalei, HI 96714

While you think you are looking at a vacant lot, there is a bonus 1,500 sq. ft. 2 bedroom 1 bath house and a shop/storage shed on this very private, stream front property. This property and structures are being sold "As Is" because the plans were once approved by the County of Kauai, however the plans and permits were lost in the 1992 hurricane by both the County and the Owner. While the home was completed the owner could never reconcile the issue of lost permits with the County of Kauai before completing the structure. Well, that is how things go here on Kauai sometimes. Since then certain flood zone restrictions have come into play that may require the home to be raised up off the ground, which the owner is willing to do at an additional, negotiated cost to the Buyer. There is a water meter allotted to this property but it is not connected. Electrical power is also available but not run to the property from Powerhouse Rd. BUT, ... IF YOUR DREAM IS TO BE "OFF GRID" this home and shop come with an Out Back photo voltaic electrical system and a water catchments system that have adequately serviced this property for years. There is room for expansive vegetable gardens on very rich soil next to a small year round creek running down the long side of this 1.25 acre property. There are numerous citrus trees on the property. And the mountain vistas are absolutely stunning.People come to Kauai looking for vacant land where they can grow their own food and be off grid not realizing what it costs to build out in this area due to the limited capacity of the bridges. But, the "heavy lifting" has all been done here for you. If you were to try to clear this property... $75-$100,000. Then build a road and bridge, add another $150,000 for starters. Then a nice 1,500 sq. ft. home at $500/sq. ft. would run about $750,000 plus the land at $450,000. Add it up and you will see what a really great deal this property is. Yes, challenges, but well worth it!!
