A Hawaiian beach estate that was once owned by a rock star and had its own close-up view of Hollywood is now on the market for $12 million.
The 1 hectare property, located on the iconic shores of Anini Beach, was previously owned by Peter Buck, legendary REM guitarist.
He also appeared in the 1992 film Honeymoon in Vegas, starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
Anini Beach boasts the largest continuous coral reef in the Hawaiian Islands – an ideal spot for kitesurfing, snorkeling and paddle boarding. Nearby is also surfing away from the lagoon.
Buck bought the property, at 3670 Anini Road, for $2.67 million in 1996 and sold it for $6.2 million in 2015. The current owner bought it for $7.1 million in 2017.
Kauai’s north shore is known as a “safe haven” and paparazzi-free zone, agents said. Best-selling novelist Kristin Hannah recently owned the house next door, at 3704 Anini Road. Sylvester Stallone also once lived nearby.
Designed by Norman Lacayo, the estate sits on 315 feet of beachfront.
There is a main residence that is 3,119 square feet. It features a chef’s kitchen and floor-to-ceiling glass doors to the living room, dining room and master bedroom – in Hawaiian, Japanese and contemporary styles.
In addition, the property features a 960 square meter guest cottage. The property is prepared for indoor/outdoor living, with ocean views and landscaped gardens.
The reef protected area comes with a coveted Transient Vacation Rental (TVR) permit.
The listing broker is Lauren Pingree of Hawai’i Life.
