$14 Million Hawaiian Compound Is America’s Most Popular House

July 2, 2016 by Douglas A. McIntyre

Sitting 2,500 miles from the U.S. mainland, the most searched house on realtor.com this week is a $13.9 million compound built across 7,200 square feet, with 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, and 3 half baths. Perhaps the attraction is that almost no one can own it, or in some cases pay for the tickets to get there.

A quick look at Google Maps shows that 5-7534 Kuhio Hwy Hanalei sits on the northwest of Hawaii’s largest islands. The entire island’s population’s population is 450 people, so inhabitants of this house could be 10% when guests are in town.
