Aloha,
We’ve had a great week with quite a bit of sunshine and strong trades. I took the opportunity to take my horse out on trail, which essentially means riding along Kapaka Road. If you haven’t driven down this road you really should as you’ll enjoy views off to your right down into Hanalei valley and across to Bali Hai. This area, known as “Princeville Ag” has quite a few stunning homes on the opposite side of the road, with equally stunning views. If you go up to the end, it turns into “Powerline trail” where you can hike down into the Kapaa aboretum – I think it’s about 13 miles. Not an easy hike though as the trail is heavily overgrown, rutted and very slippery in many area.
I took pictures as we rode along – not the easiest thing to do from horseback. The views toward the valley and Bali Hai left me shooting into the sun but it’s still beautiful:
My horse turned her head everytime I took a picture, trying to determine the nature of the clicking and chirping:
We rode past one of the best buys I’ve seen recently which, “in the day” sold for $3.150M – and sold recently for an astounding $1.2M! Not many bargain like this one!
Saw some “friends” as we rode along:
…and got a different view on flowers, since I was shooting from above….
But I digress. Here’s your Princeville condo update for the week just past:

Getting back to my ride, I took a picture back toward the Mountains once I reached the intersection of Kapaka and the highway:
We rode back toward the stable, and passed this handsome guy – who could almost get lost in the background –
So lucky we live Kauai! If you need the facts before buying or selling, please don’t hesitate to ask. That’s why I’m here. I hope you enjoyed the ride along. It’s just one of the many reasons people love it here.
Aloha Elaine
View heading back to the stable. My horse took particular interest in the green colored “temporary fencing” that was blowing in the wind. We walked past it about 20 times before she would go quietly.
