Limahuli Ocean Estate — on the market with Neal Norman of Hawai‘i Life for $29,500,000 — is an incomparable 8.29-acre oceanfront property located at Kaua‘i’s iconic “End of the Road” in Hā‘ena. With over 400 linear feet of pristine beachfront, the estate offers direct access to world-class surf and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, the lush Limahuli Valley, and the towering cliffs of Mt. Makana. Here, ocean, jungle, and sky collide in a landscape so vivid it’s practically a movie set — in fact, you’ve probably seen it before.

Kaua‘i — often called the Garden Island — is the oldest of Hawaii’s main islands, known for its rainforests, sheer cliffs, and rugged coastline. The island’s North Shore, and particularly the enclave of Hā‘ena, sits at the far edge of the road system, beyond which lies the Nā Pali Coast, accessible only by foot or sea. With its blend of natural splendor and cultural significance, this remote stretch has drawn both conservationists and a discreet circle of high-profile owners.

Kaua‘i’s north shore has also played a starring role on screen — serving as the backdrop for Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Descendants. Yet for a select few, this cinematic setting is simply home.

Limahuli sits tucked at the very end of the island’s northernmost road, just before the trailhead to the Nā Pali Coast, in a pocket of coastline known for its unspoiled beauty — and its quiet appeal to a select few. Mark Zuckerberg and Owen Wilson have both planted roots on Kaua‘i’s North Shore, drawn by the rare mix of privacy, surf, and untouched nature.

The estate spans three contiguous parcels — a rarity in this coveted enclave — offering flexibility for future expansion or preservation. The main residence, a 3,123-square-foot single-story home, was reimagined by Walker Warner Architects during the ownership of Julia Roberts and her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder, who purchased the property in 2011. The couple used the estate as a private retreat for nearly a decade before selling in 2020. Their renovation was both comprehensive and understated, staying true to the home’s coastal roots with hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, exposed beams, and floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the landscape.

Since the sale, the property has been carefully maintained. Its hallmark blend of natural materials, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and off-grid systems — Tesla-powered solar, Starlink internet, and a whole-property water filtration system — remains intact. With its three parcels, Limahuli offers the possibility of adding two more residences or preserving the open land as a private sanctuary.

A sunken infinity pool, detached guest cottage, and air-conditioned gym round out the estate, all set within lush tropical landscaping bordered by conservation lands. Despite its remote feel, the property is only a 15-minute drive to Hanalei, a surf-town known for its farmers markets, local eateries, and postcard-worthy bay.

Beyond the gates, the road narrows to a single lane winding past waterfalls, taro fields, and coastline — culminating at the Kalalau Trail, a rugged path often called one of the world’s most dangerous (and beautiful) hikes.

For buyers seeking more than a trophy home, Limahuli offers a connection to Hawaii’s living landscape — a legacy property shaped by nature, history, and a certain kind of cinematic magic. As Norman puts it, “You could build two more homes — or leave it untouched and let the land speak for itself.”
