‘Great Alone’ author Kristin Hannah prepares to write new chapter for Kauai oasis
Author Kristin Hannah has put her longtime home in Kauai, Hawaii, up for sale at $10.75 million.
The oceanfront contemporary sits on about half an acre in the desirable North Shore area. Built in 1998, the multilevel house features two offset wings, each with 9-foot-tall pocketing glass walls oriented toward the ocean. Balconies and patios on each level make the most of the coastal setting.
Inside, a combination of high ceilings and natural light create volume from room to room. The floor plan includes an ocean-view office, a great room with a fireplace, a wet bar, three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Custom Koa wood cabinetry stands out in the kitchen.
Outside, tropical landscaping and ocean views create a backdrop for a dining lanai. A swath of lawn sits between the house and miles of sandy beachfront.
Hannah has written more than a dozen novels including “Firefly Lane,†“On Mystic Lake†and “The Nightingale,†the latter of which was a New York Times bestseller. Her latest book, “The Great Alone,†also made the New York Times list as both print and audiobook bestseller this year.
She bought the place more than a decade ago for $4.45 million, records show.
Ben Welborn and Tiffany Spencer of Hawaii Life hold the listing.
