Roseanne Barr’s 46-acre macadamia nut farm on the Big Island’s Hāmākua Coast has sold following an intense week-long bidding battle, closing at $2.6 million — approximately $650,000 above its $1.95 million ask.
Barr originally purchased the Honokaʻa property in 2007 for $1.78 million. The estate served as the backdrop for her 2011 reality series Roseanne’s Nuts, and today it features more than 4,000 macadamia trees, as well as groves of avocado, tangerine, apple banana, and other tropical plantings.
At its core is a 2,716-square-foot residence with four bedrooms and 4.5 baths, complemented by a deep lanai framing ocean and orchard views. The grounds include a pool with slide, pool house, art studio, greenhouse, a bamboo-enclosed outdoor soaking tub, and workshop.
Deep Blue HI’s founder, Paul Stukin, led the deal. He noted the global resonance of the listing and the competitively high demand: “We sold the property for $650,000 over asking, attracting buyers from five states, the Neighbor Islands, and three European countries.”
This transaction underscores a notable dynamic in Hawai‘i luxury real estate: when location, narrative, and land use align, market forces can converge rapidly — elevating estates that combine lifestyle, legacy, and landscape into coveted, global assets.
