The Headlands of Kalanipu'u
The Headlands of Kalanipu'u is unique in all the world, offering a blank canvas with unlimited potential for a buyer with vision to create one of Hawaii's most exceptional and exclusive private estates. The property offers several incredible building sites for a private residence as well as several other structures. Located near the town of Lihue on the southeast portion of Kauai (Hawaii's "Garden Isle"), and adjacent to the infamous Kipu Ranch (Raiders of the Lost Ark) and Kipu Kai Ranch (The Descendants), the Headlands enjoy the best weather on Kauai with an annual rainfall of 37.2 inches. The nearby Lihue airport hosts direct flights from the US mainland as well as flights from numerous international cities. After landing, you are only minutes away from your private sanctuary which is easily reachable by helicopter, by boat from the nearby Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor, or by 4x4 via a road easement through the adjacent Kipu Ranch.
Hulēʻia Stream

Nawiliwili Harbor
The north end of the Headlands makes up one shoreline of the deep water port of Nawilwili, one of two deep water ports serving Kauai. Nawiliwili Harbor is home to a small boat harbor and Nawiliwili Yacht Club. Nawiliwili Harbor is located just south of the Lihue Airport at the mouth of Hule'ia Stream and near Niumalu Beach park.

Carter Point, Kawai Point and Unulao Bay
