Real estate behind the gates at Seacliff Plantation on Kauai
If you’ve ever been to Kauai, you likely know that the north shore is the most mysterious and stunningly gorgeous area on the “Garden Isle.“
Known for its pristine beauty, Kauai has spectacular estates, yet it also has some of the most quaint, charming and unspoiled little towns—more like villages, really—that make it feel unpretentious and welcoming.
It is no exaggeration to say that there is a piece of real estate for sale near what the locals call “Secret Beach” that is set upon one of the most dramatic and unspoiled patches of paradise on earth.
This Kauai real estate gem is located at 2445 Makanano Place, also known as the Pavillions at Seacliff, near the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, is set atop several acres on Crater Hill, behind the gates at Seacliff Plantation, overlooking the ocean and beyond to Bali Hai. As a result, the home has some of the most exotic and haunting views in the Hawaiian Islands.

The estate offering is completely secluded and private. Also, residents of Seacliff Plantation have access to equestrian and hiking trails along the 203-acre Wildlife Refuge.
The estates are minutes from Princeville, with its world-class hotel, golf course, shopping and restaurants. Beyond Princeville lie magical Hanalei Bay and the Napali Coast. Kilauea is itself a charming little burg with its own unique character.
The main house has 5,100 square feet that include three master bedrooms, all with brilliant views. There is also a pool and spa, a guest bungalow, studio, and a tennis court. Of course, the entire house is built with only the best materials, including Brazilian hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, and European hardware accessorizing teak doors.
Maybe it’s that combination of premier real estate and rural charm that has brought the rich and famous from all over the world, including movie stars from Elvis Presley to Johnny Depp— as well as the rest of us ordinary mortals— to this patch of tropical splendor in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
