This is probably why over 72,000 Americans call it home.

Julie Roberts is yet another American to reside in Kauai, at least part of the time.

Roberts purchased the former Faye estate on Hanalei Bay in Kauai as a vacation home in 2011.

Her family has been enjoying her home ever since.

That is until now, Roberts has put the beach house on the market at $29.85 million.

It is said that Roberts paid $6.84 million for the property in an off-market deal.

If the estate sells for close to her asking price, she will have made quite a hefty profit.

This property is one of the last that has not been subdivided.

The home sits on two acres and has over 200 feet of beachfront land.

It is currently the only property on the beach for sale.

So those that are looking for a one-of-a-kind property on Kauai that overlooks the mountains and the ocean.

The owners had the home hoisted up and moved further back on the property and rebuilt the bottom floors.

The home then had more of a 1950s look and feel.

The former garage was rebuilt as the current guest house.

The home was previously owned by Norwegian immigrant Hans Peter Faye in 1880.

Faye chose this lot because of its central location in the Pointe Dume area of Hanalei Bay.

This was the first home to have its own electricity thanks to its own generator.

So, in its heyday, this home was cutting edge.
