“The Jungle House by the Sea” Hale Nahele Makai feels like a private jungle retreat in the heart of the beautiful Princeville community. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac with many sweeping ocean and jungle views, this distinctive North Shore property blends tropical privacy, flexible living, and island beauty. Nearby access to several beaches, golf clubs, year-round trade winds, colorful sunrises and sunsets, seasonal whale watching, waterfalls, rainbows, and abundant birdlife enhance the Kauai lifestyle. Remodeled in 2012 and expanded and enhanced in 2024, this 2,960-square-foot 4 bedroom/3 bath split-level home offers two separate living areas, two en-suite bedrooms, a walkout basement, and an attached two-car garage with plentiful parking. A fifth bedroom/sleeping area may be possible. Soaring open-beam wood ceilings, Brazilian Jatoba hardwood floors, ceramic tile baths, and a gourmet kitchen with Brazilian Bahia Blue granite add character and quality. Over 950 square feet of additional lanais create exceptional indoor-outdoor living, capturing ocean and jungle vistas and providing ideal space for entertaining or relaxing. Covered storage accommodates surfboards, kayaks, and outdoor gear. The beautifully landscaped 0.33-acre lot features manicured lawns, privacy hedges, mature palms, plumeria, lush tropical gardens, lava rock terracing, and a thriving orchard with mango, avocado, citrus, banana, starfruit, and other fruit trees. Ideal as a primary residence, second home, or potential vacation rental, this unique property also offers future expansion possibilities. Previously approved County and HOA plans are available for a detached 525-square-foot garage, subject to approvals. Plenty of room for a pool addition if desired. A rare opportunity to own a private island sanctuary where ocean views, lush tropical beauty, and modern comfort meet in the heart of Princeville
