If you’ve got island life on your mind, this sprawling home just might make your dreams come true. Set on the shores of Anini Beach in Kauai, Hawaii, it featured in the Golden Globe-nominated rom-com Honeymoon in Vegas – and it was previously owned by R.E.M guitarist Peter Buck.

The mansion is actually made up of two residences – a main house and a guest house – and it’s nestled within a one-acre estate boasting 315 feet of private beach. Inside both properties, you’ll spot a blend of traditional Hawaiian and contemporary Japanese design, with plenty of open-plan entertaining areas and enormous windows framing those all-important tropical views.

The main house spans more than 3,000 square feet across a single storey, encompassing a sleek kitchen/breakfast room, an enormous living/dining space, and three luxurious bedroom suites. Sliding glass doors in both the reception area and the principal suite open directly onto the lush gardens, which feature multiple terraces and al fresco entertaining spots.
