Carlos Santana may spend the majority of his time in Las Vegas, but he enjoys visiting Hawaii. According to Neal Norman and Ben Welborn of Hawai’i Life in Hanalei, the Grammy winner bought a four-bedroom, 4,000-square-foot vacation home on Hawaii’s Kauai Island for $8 million in 2020 and doubled down by buying another holiday home in Princeville for $20.5 million on July 1.
The newly purchased contemporary stunner is unique, according to Norman, who assisted Santana in finding his new escape and just offered the musician’s smaller property for $12.9 million.

A collection of interconnecting pods make up the dwelling. The main pod, which is 3,800 square feet, includes living and dining rooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen with custom cabinets, a den, a bathroom, and a gym.

“We live in a magical place with ‘rarefied air,’ as I like to call it. The website is fantastic. Views like this of Hanalei Valley and Buffalo Ranch are available to only a few individuals on the earth “Norman explains.

Welborn, who has been selling real estate on the North Shore for 21 years and worked with Norman to represent the sellers, says the house is “amazing.” “This is by far the most well-built and well-designed home I’ve seen on Kauai. The vistas are breathtaking, and the lanai, a big, covered outdoor living room, is a fantastic location to party “he continues.

Santana’s most recent purchase was a 4,200-square-foot home built in 2006 on a 35,000-square-foot bluff overlooking Kauai’s Hanalei Bay.

The home is also quite private, according to Welborn, and well-suited for a celebrity like Carlos.
What are your other selling points? The viewpoints. “At any given time, there may be up to 20 waterfalls visible from the house. They’re also incredibly magical and inspiring for what Carlos does with his music. We went to see the house about five times, and each time it grew better and better. There were waterfalls and rainbows every time he arrived to the house; it was mind-boggling and really motivated him “Norman reminisces.

There are four bedrooms in the house.

Despite the fact that Kauai has limited land resources and house inventories, Norman claims the market has appreciated and is appealing to many purchasers from the West Coast and those who enjoy the outdoors.
“Since 1985, I’ve been selling real estate in this area and have discovered that there are many lovely and spiritual people yearning for this kind of adventure. Many people have worked hard and saved up enough money to live in their ideal home on Kauai. However, Kauai is not for those seeking a vibrant nightlife. Carlos Santana and his wife prefer genuine and unadulterated beauty with few interruptions; they want a more natural experience with magnificent oceans and mountain hikes “he continues.
