Comedian Roseanne Barr has bid farewell to her longtime Hawaiian refuge — selling her 46-acre Honokaa ranch for $2.6 million, roughly $650,000 above the $1.95 million asking price, The Post has learned. 

The deal, which sparked a bidding frenzy, came together in a matter of days, underscoring the robust appetite for distinctive island properties. Robb Report broke news of the deal.

Barr purchased the sprawling macadamia nut farm in 2007 for $1.78 million.

The property later served as the setting for her short-lived reality series “Roseanne’s Nuts” in 2011, which followed her attempt to run the farm alongside her partner Johnny Argent and her son, Jake Pentland. 

Though the show lasted only one season, Barr held on to the estate for years, using it as her home and private retreat after the cancellation of her ABC sitcom revival in 2018.

The ranch, perched along the Hamakua Coast, features panoramic ocean views and more than 4,000 macadamia trees surrounding a 2,716-square-foot residence.

The main home includes four bedrooms, a sunlit open-concept living area with double French doors, and a kitchen fitted with wood cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances.

Outside, amenities include a pool and a waterslide, a guesthouse, an art studio, a greenhouse, and a bamboo-enclosed outdoor shower and soaking tub.

Listing agent Paul Stukin of Deep Blue HI said that interest in the property was immediate and global. 

“There was interest where buyers flew in from five different states, the neighbor Island and three European countries,” he told The Post. 

Barr, 72, has since traded island life for the Texas Hill Country, where she resides with her son and his family. 

While Barr said she will always cherish her connection to Hawaii, she acknowledged that maintaining such a vast property has become impractical. 

“Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m getting too old to do as much as I used to. The land deserves someone with the spirit and energy to care for it the way it should be,” she previously told Robb Report.

Barr originally envisioned the ranch as a self-sustaining haven and a way to give back to the community she had long admired.

Hawaii Governor Josh Green was joined by Carissa Moore Monday to announce the 2026 Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) surfing competition. The contest will be held at Hookipa Beach on Maui’s north shore on May 1 and May 2 and will cap off the first school year in which surfing is an official team sport at the prep level in the Aloha State.

HHSAA announced that surfing would be added to its spring 2026 schedule back in July after Gov. Green signed a bill providing $685,000 in funding for the state’s interscholastic leagues. Prior to that, athletes like Carissa Moore were left with traveling to compete as individuals representing their schools in NSSA events.

“It would’ve been cool to have a few more of my peers alongside me competing and doing it together, and representing something bigger than ourselves,” Moore told the media on Monday. She joked about the complications it created as a student, making up missed P.E. credits with laps around the track at Punahou School.  “Surfing is a very individual sport, and I think this team aspect is so important and something that I missed out on as a young person.”

The May 2026 event will include competition categories for both boys and girls in three different disciplines: shortboard, longboard, and bodyboard.

“The Maui high schools have competed for 19 years as an unofficial club sport and then from 10 years ago, we’ve been competing as an official MIL sport,” said Maui Interscholastic League surfing co-coordinator Kim Ball. “So you can imagine the enthusiasm and excitement after 29 years that we’re finally going to have a state championship. The county of Maui and our MIL surf crew will do all we can to make it a memorable event.”

The news is being celebrated around Hawaii for the sport’s importance within the state’s culture and history. Beyond that, however, it makes Hawaii the first state in the U.S. to recognize surfing as a state champion team event.

HONOLULU — Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo, moved to dismiss a lawsuit filed last month accusing them of causing a Hawaii real estate investor and broker to be fired from a $240-million luxury housing development on the Big Island’s Hapuna Coast.

Ohtani and Balelo were sued Aug. 8 in Hawaii Circuit Court for the First Circuit by developer Kevin J. Hayes Sr. and real estate broker Tomoko Matsumoto, West Point Investment Corp. and Hapuna Estates Property Owners, who accused them of “abuse of power” that allegedly resulted in tortious interference and unjust enrichment.

Hayes and Matsumoto had been dropped from the development deal by Kingsbarn Realty Capital, the joint venture’s majority owner.

In papers filed Sunday, lawyers for Ohtani and Balelo said Hayes and Matsumoto in 2023 acquired rights for a joint venture in which they owned a minority percentage to use Ohtani’s name, image and likeness under an endorsement agreement to market the venture’s real estate development at the Mauna Kea Resort. The lawyers said Ohtani was a “victim of NIL violations.”

“Unbeknownst to Ohtani and his agent Nez Balelo, plaintiffs exploited Ohtani’s name and photograph to drum up traffic to a website that marketed plaintiffs’ own side project development,” the lawyers wrote. “They engaged in this self-dealing without authorization, and without paying Ohtani for that use, in a selfish and wrongful effort to take advantage of their proximity to the most famous baseball player in the world.”

The lawyers claimed Hayes and Matsumoto sued after “Balelo did his job and protected his client by expressing justifiable concern about this misuse and threatening to take legal action against this clear misappropriation.” They called Balelo’s actions “clearly protected speech “

In a statement issued after the suit was filed last month, Kingsbarn called the allegations “completely frivolous and without merit.”

Ohtani is a three-time MVP on the defending World Series champion Dodgers.

“Nez Balelo has always prioritized Shohei Ohtani’s best interests, including protecting his name, image, and likeness from unauthorized use,” a lawyer for Ohtani and Balelo, said in a statement. “This frivolous lawsuit is a desperate attempt by plaintiffs to distract from their myriad of failures and blatant misappropriation of Mr. Ohtani’s rights.”

Lawyers for Hayes and Matsumoto did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
