Julia Roberts and cinematographer Danny Moder purchased the 8.3‑acre parcel that would become Limahuli Ocean Estate in June 2009 for a combined $10 million, according to property records cited by Pacific Business News.
The estate sits on Kauai's North Shore, overlooking more than 400 feet of Pacific shoreline and the verdant Limahuli Valley, offering panoramic views that have drawn top‑tier buyers.
On December 17 2020, the couple completed the sale to Limahuli Holdings LLC for $19.99 million, using a three‑parcel transaction that divided the estate into separate lots.
The property returned to the market in May 2025 with an asking price of $29.5 million, a steep increase that highlighted its coveted beachfront location and the recent trend of high‑end listings on Kauai.
This relisting has been confused with a separate 2‑acre Kauai property—purchased by Roberts in 2011 for $13.375 million—that was listed for nearly $30 million in 2015 before selling for $16.2 million in 2016.
Analysts say the estate’s re‑appearance will test the market’s appetite for luxury beachfront homes, and offers are expected to surface within the next month.
