Always wanted to live like a celebrity—specifically, a successful and prolific novelist with countless bestselling books under her belt? Now’s your chance, because the striking Hawaii estate that Kristin Hannah once called home just popped up for sale on Kauai’s north shore, asking a dash under $9 million.
With three bedrooms and a matching number of baths spread across nearly 2,800 square feet of open-concept living space, the residence offers plenty of room for any like-minded writer to easily conjure up ideas in style while enjoying sweeping ocean views. Famously owned by Hannah for nearly 18 years, property records show the place was last sold for just over $7 million in spring 2021 to Aranzazu Casal, the widow of Apple software engineer François Jouaux.
“For me, paradise begins on this pink, shell-strewn ribbon of Anini Beach,” Hannah said of her island home when it first hit the market back in 2018. “From the moment you pull into the crushed coral driveway and park under the giant palms, you feel it: a stillness that soothes the busiest soul.”
