The North Shore retreat once owned by guitar legend Carlos Santana is back in play, this time with a $13 million price tag. The modern, pavilion-style bluff-top home sits on roughly 3.02 acres above Anini’s reef and spans about 4,003 square feet, with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. Built in 2001, the estate features an infinity-edge pool, generous lanais and a private path that winds toward Anini Beach.
What the listing says
Per Hawai‘i Life, the home is laid out in a pavilion-style plan that centers on a covered breezeway, tying the interior living areas to broad outdoor dining and entertainment spaces. The listing emphasizes sweeping ocean views, the infinity-edge pool and access to Kīlauea, Princeville and Hanalei, and it shows the property as active on the MLS for roughly two months. The Hawai‘i Life page also names agent Roni Marley and provides a phone number and email for direct inquiries.
Price and ownership history
Property records and listing history show that Santana bought the Anini Vista property in February 2020 for about $8 million and then sold it in March 2022 for $11.9 million to an entity listed as Skywalkerfarms LLC, according to Compass. That relatively short ownership stretch came after Santana acquired a larger Princeville estate, underscoring the musician’s multiple real estate moves on the island. Those documented sale prices help frame the current $13 million ask for the smaller bluff-top parcel.
Neighboring parcel and compound potential
The former Santana house sits next to a much larger 6.87-acre estate that the same seller has listed for $32.5 million, creating the option for a sizable compound purchase. Local reporting notes that the same owner controls adjacent parcels and that public records show high-value transfers in the area, including a March 1, 2022 transaction tied to Skywalkerfarms LLC. Taken together, the neighboring properties offer sweeping privacy and nearly uninterrupted coastal frontage, and the overall package is being pitched as rare North Shore acreage with resort-style views.
Where this sits in Kaua‘i’s market
National outlets have already latched onto the listing, pointing out how celebrity provenance and large parcels keep Kaua‘i’s high-end market firmly in the spotlight. Mansion Global highlighted the home as one of two neighboring North Shore properties being marketed by the same owner, and observers say buyers often pay premiums for privacy, views and easy beach access on the Garden Island. For many would-be owners, the combination of acreage and a short walk to Anini’s protected waters is the real hook.
The $13 million asking price stands as of the current listing, and interested buyers are directed to contact the Hawai‘i Life agent named on the listing for showings and additional details. Whether someone is after a slice of rock‑and‑roll history or a secluded perch above Anini, this Anini Vista property blends celebrity provenance with hard-to-find North Shore acreage.
