Opportunity knocks.
Now, BeachGrit’s real-estate desk is normally manned by Derek Rielly but I had to swing in, today, to let you know of an incredible opportunity on Kauai’s paradisiacal north shore. Yes, anyone who has ever traveled to the Garden Isle has marveled at the natural beauty, the quaint pilates studios, the small markets selling homemade vegan candles.
In a word, sumptuous.
The whole island only has a population of 73,000. It’s northern bit but a fraction of that which is what makes Julia Roberts former property such a choice find.
Limahuli Ocean Estate, which sits at the gateway to the Na Pali coast on eight acres including private surf breaks, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Listing agent Neal Norman declares, “You really do see rainbows all the time.”
Progressive.
The 3123 sq ft main residence boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with expansive views of the lush tropical landscape. There is also a 1-bedroom, 1-bath caretaker’s cottage, a 490 sq ft pool, and an air-conditioned gym. “Sustainability systems” include photovoltaic panels with Tesla batteries, Starlink internet, and a whole-house water filtration system.
And of course views of its very own waves.

The design is described as “rustic coastal soul.”White walls, natural wood tones and exposed beams lend warmth without pretense.”
The perfect place for BeachGrit’s clubhouse, no?
The listing price is a low, low $30 million but if we all throw in together, I think we could come up with it easily then, just imagine, we could sit across from each other on the couch and live chat professional surf contests all together.
