Laidback Hawaii home designed by acting duo lists for $18.5M, steps from sandy beach
A fabulous Hawaii home, designed by actors Craig T. Nelson and Doria Cook Nelson, with hundreds of feet of sandy beachfront is available for $18.5 million.
The nearly five-acre estate, comprised of two adjacent parcels, is “one of the finest sandy beachfront properties on Kauai,” according to Hawai`i Life real estate firm.
Craig T. Nelson is known for his work as Hayden Fox on the sitcom “Coach,” while Doria Cook Nelson starred in “The Rockford Files.”
Extensively private, the home the couple originally developed offers access to Tunnels Beach (Makua Beach) and views of the ocean and mountains.
Gorgeous craftsmanship, woodwork, high-end finishes, expansive open-beam ceilings and finishing touches of koa, teak and other fine materials are found throughout the spacious retreat.
There is room to expand the house, or build a second home, according to Hawai`i Life.
“Every covered lanai and window frames a dramatic view,” the listing states.
The property is near Haena State Park, the Napali Coast and the beach town of Hanalei, offering plenty of opportunity to shop, dine dive, snorkel and boat.
Neal Norman of Hawai`i Life is the listing agent.
“If you’re looking for a laidback home that feels a world away but is still close to most-loved corners of Kauai, this is an unrivaled paradise,” Norman told Mansion Global.
