only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Those who know me in real life as well as those who have been following my blog for a while, know that my husband and my sons have all worked in Hawaii. Specifically, they’ve traveled to the island of Kauai to help our friend build a unique, quality home in Anini Vista. I’ve posted pictures of the home here and there, though we have hundreds of the building process, and actually have some photos of the empty lot with nothing but block laid out on that rich red soil where a house would someday stand.
The home is now finished and is on the market. I’ve tried to find words to describe it but can’t. Magnificent isn’t quite enough. Spectacular doesn’t capture it. Breathtaking is an understatement. This is a house that you have to see to truly appreciate. It’s casual elegance and top quality craftsmanship. It’s a home like no other.
Don’t believe me? Well, just take a look. Visit Hanapai North Shore Kauai for a tour of the home that my husband and sons helped to build. The home has 50 arches, all built by my husband. My son, Jesse, built the bridge over the salt-water pool and moved the rocks to create the unique lagoon landscaping as well as the stone grill.
Take a photo tour of the house and grounds or watch a video walk-through. Then imagine that what you’re seeing is only a fraction of the true beauty of this place.
Okay, I know that most of us - maybe even all of us reading this now - can only dream of ever living in place like this. I know I feel privileged to be married to the guy who did all the masonry on it, and very fortunate to have been able to swim in that pool! Somewhere out there, though, is the right person for this house. Someone who has the means to buy this house and will truly appreciate the work that went into it is out there, I just know it. I don’t know if that person will read my blog or not but if he or she does, there will be no doubt this is the right home.
If you’re interested in purchasing this exquisite home, head on over to the Hanapai North Shore Kauai site and contact Linda Kelly about it. Make sure you tell her that Marisa sent you. And let me know by posting here, too. I’m anxious to find out who this home calls out to and who answers that call.
Even if you can’t afford it, you can still let me know what you think of it. We can all dream about it together while we wait to find out who is lucky enough to live in it.

Wow, it is breathtaking. It is even more beautiful than my dreams. I don’t want to think of maintenance costs for this amazing place because it might ruin my dream
Wow Marisa, that is just STUNNING! Your husband and son should be proud of creating a home like that for someone!
The house and surroundings look magnificent! This is really a house from a dreamworld, how I’d love to live there!
Awesome! what a great house i like it. Its my desire to build that type of houses
Oh wow Marisa, that home is so GORGEOUS! What beautiful craftsmanship.
wow! what an amazing house! A dream home indeed!
Wow, that’s really looks like paradise! I’m sure that the property will be sold very very quickly! As you said, for most people this will be only a dream house, I mean a house that people can only dream about and not buy!
Wow! I can’t imagine living in that home! Your husband and son must be very talented.
What a fantastic house. I could never in my wildest dreams imagine living in a house like that. It would be a great property to live on if you were here in Pennsylvania. The fact that it’s in Hawaii adds to the allure.
It looks like the pool/lagoon is bigger than my entire property. You were indeed quite lucky to take a dip in it.
Your husband and sons should be proud of themselves. It’s one thing to build something functional, but another to build something with all the craftsmanship. They really should be proud of what they’ve accomplished.
