A 5.4 acre waterfront estate steeped in the history of Honolulu is on the market, priced at a whopping $80 million. Known as the Kaiser Estate, the 2.2 hectare property was first developed by American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, who founded aluminum, steel, health care and aerospace companies that carry the Kaiser name. Over the years, Jacqueline Kennedy, Bob Hope and President Lyndon Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, were among his guests on the property, which sits on a quiet cove with views of Diamond Head. ![]() The property is the largest waterfront parcel in one of Oahus most prestigious neighborhoods, but the asking price is still jaw dropping. A 15,000-square-foot house and a 12,000-square-foot boathouse on the land are both in need of major repair. Property tax assessments value the property at $37.5 million, reduced from $48.8 million a year ago. But the historic estate may be split up. The property could be sold as three parcels, priced between $18 million and $34 million; a 1.9-acre main house parcel for $28 million, a 1.6-acre landscaped parcel with tennis courts for $18 million and a 2-acre boathouse parcel that includes the harbor for $34 million.
Last year, the two-acre site of the estates former guest house, which was redeveloped with a new house, sold for $15.9 million. ![]()
