The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

[308GUY]

Needs to be brought into an editing program and have something done with the trees that run off the page. Could either fill them out as they probably are in the original sketch, or fade/soften the edges so they just "disappear" into the background.

I think the resolution might be good enough to get it to around a 21"X7", but not sure at this point.

Be nice to duplicate it in color too!

Seriously, I might try to get this printed out and framed to go with the rest of my MPI wall art.

Great work RG!

The original tennis court that is mentioned in RG's articles must've be removed at sometime and later replaced in the 1970's with a new one because during a time when HFO was filming there was no tennis court.
I wonder if both of them were located in the exact same spot or maybe 5ft or so to the left or right and maybe even rotated in another direction ...i.e. length ways and parallel to the driveway. I would guess that's in the same spot as it maximizes the space better, but you never know.....I'm sure there were less trees back then.

Yes it really is a lovely thing to look at. I'm sure the originals are in an archive somewhere. That's what you really want a scan of.

Here is a complete HFO library that contains Pahonu footage. If you’re not a fan of the show just go to the counter reference on the right to fast forward to Pahonu content. Let me know if I've missed one and I'll add it.
It’s great to see Pahonu footage that we don’t normally see in MPI. By the time MPI came on the seen, Eve no longer allowed any filming inside.
I’ve also included the cross over from Murder She Wrote. I’m sure a few of our members haven’t seen some of this collection before – ENJOY!

Hi Kenji...The house used in the "The Case Against Philip Christie" the party house has changed very little..The most noticeable change is the upstairs walkway connecting the two sides.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much Kenji! I've always wanted this in a single, easy to access location, woo-hoo! Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together!

Wow, that house is gorgeous.......I wonder what that sold for or if it has...As a fan of Robins Nest I think I would have to think hard about purchasing this one (dreaming I have 1% er funds) over our run down Mecca........

Many thanks Sam!
You saved me a search for this little youtube gem.
I just love the view out to Rabbit Island from the living room!

I remember when it went on the market Steve and I think the owners were asking $4.5 million at one point and it finally sold in 2014 for between $3.8 - $3.9 million......somewhere around there, it's been a few years.

You're very welcome RG, glad you like it!

I was just streaming HFO's "A Stranger in His Grave" from season 10 last week. It was amusing to watch Hillerman get a massage on the estate lawn. It was one of those things where I was thinking about all the success that was still ahead of him as a middle aged man...in that very spot. I wondered if he ever stood out there years later and looked back with nostalgia.

Can we get ahold of Linda Booten's sister from "Thank Heaven for Little Girls and Big Ones Too!" that does the copies.....?

[KENJI]

BRILLIANT RG, BRILLIANT!!!!
TOO FUNNY!!!

[308GUY]

BRILLIANT RG, BRILLIANT!!!!
TOO FUNNY!!!

QUITE!

Hey RG...I think you missed your calling....you should be working in Hollywood! You know...starring opposite TS or something...

Seriously, you've got skills lady.


I might have to print THAT picture and frame & hang it!

That house is stunning! The only drawback to the Waimanolo side is the lack of the sunsets .... things being what they are though I think I'd still prefer Pahonu, if only for the grounds alone.

I would have to add a pool though . . .

Kenji nailed it..It sold in April 2014 for 3.85 and the asking price was 4.50.
