Hale Manu - Hawaiian Living at its Best<br>This is Hawaiian living at its best. A glorious mature 3 ½ acre HGTV award winning tropical botanical garden estate encompasses a very much loved 2600 sq. ft. solidly built Hawaiian plantation cottage. Each window frames a gorgeous view from every room, bringing the outdoors in. The light, bright, and flexible open floor plan, accented with lofts and skylights, high ceilings, and high efficiency fans create the perfect Hawaiian style home. The gardens have lifted many spirits and inspired photographers and filmmakers to use the grounds for numerous movies, photo shoots, commercials, and weddings. The propertyâs agriculture designation provides substantial property tax and water bill advantages. A variety of plants and landscaping grace the grounds including a 108-species palm garden. Its abundant crops of avocados, mangos, breadfruit, bananas, papayas and citrus (oranges, lemons, tangelos, grapefruit and tangerines) have annually gifted the Kauai Food Bank with over 3,000 pounds of fruit for the needy. Its orchids, gingers, heliconias, and bromeliads and ti plants have graced church services island-wide. And if you donât want to give your fruits and flowers away, there are plentiful opportunities to sell them. <br>The gardens offer inspiration for the creative mind, a peaceful haven for those on a fast track, and a vibrancy of life for those who need up lifting. A multitude of birds (manu) return each year to breed and raise their young and some stay year round. Children love to feed the fish in the 45 water garden pots. A spectacular setting to entertain guests, to conduct business, or to recharge. Located in the lower section of Kalihiwai Ridge, this home basks in the sun while those just a few blocks up can be deluged with rain. Both family and guests appreciate its convenience to shopping and beaches. The downstairs suite is sold fully furnished, turn key. Other furnishings are negotiable.
