St. Thomas Church, steeped in history, presents a unique opportunity in the heart of Hanalei. Situated on an approximately 14,020-square-foot lot, this property blends historical significance with a prime location. Originally serving as a public cemetery, the land was formally purchased by the Protestant Episcopal Church in 1947. St. Thomas Church was built in 1964, funded by Juliet Atwood Rice Wichman, and dedicated to her great-aunt Anna Sophia Wundenberg Wright, who was born in Hanalei in 1849.
Today, the property hosts the Aloha School Early Learning Center in partnership with the ministry of Christ Memorial Episcopal Church, continuing its legacy of service to the Hanalei community. The spacious fenced in lot and charming building are surrounded by fruit trees and offer tranquil mountain and waterfall views. Conveniently located along the main road in downtown Hanalei, the property is just a short stroll from the iconic Hanalei Bay—an ideal spot for those seeking proximity to nature, culture, and community. Per the deed, the property must be conveyed for church-related purposes.
This rare opportunity invites visionaries to preserve its church mission and utilize a property with deep historical roots and strong ties to the local community in one of Kauai’s most sought-after locales.
