I decided to get the Hawaii Five-O dvd from netflix. It's the first disc of season three, episode 3.3 - The Second Shot. The estate features prominently in this episode (13 or 14 minutes not including indoor set scenes) which accounts for the ridiculous amount of screen shots (88 total). Those can be downloaded by going here (6 MB).

In the episode the estate is owned by Dr. Lemira, a self-exiled Greek doctor and politician who may be the target of hitmen. Here's some highlights of the screen shots:

What I find most interesting is how the estate was in SO MUCH BETTER shape back when Hawaii 5-0 was filiming there. Why was the estate allowed to get so rundown? That is so sad. I mean, the estate was built 40 years before the H5-0 years. Was it so difficult and expensive to keep it up for another 10-15 years? If one can afford the estate, one can't afford to keep it in good shape? That doesn't make much sense. What pleasure is there in having it if you can't maintain it? That would depress the heck out of me.

RC,

A local channel shows HFO daily and this is an episode I haven't seen.

A question from your first cap .Does the driveway appear to have more curves in the HFO days vs the MPI days.

Golf,I agree,so much better in the HFO time.

If the exterior condition in its present state is an indication of the interior condition,I'm thinking it is a dump on a nice piece of property.

Thanks RC

Not only does the driveway seem to have more curves than in MPI, but look at the lawn !!! I mean you actually can see the driveway from the grass, not a sort of a faded grass due to cars driving over and over it.
Golf, I fully agree.

Awesome RC! Thank You!

Man, there are some really good shots of the inside of the house! The stairs and floor tiles are gorgeous.

I noticed that the front gate is different, too. It's wooden!

Image

And there is a plaque by the front gate that says "Pahonu" (sea turtle in Hawaiian). I knew the estate was often called "Pahonu" (because of the ancient turtle pond), but I never knew it had a name plaque by the front gate. Very cool! I wonder if it's still there?

Yes it is. You can just make it out over on the right...

Meant to include the gate shot. It's also nice to see more (briefly) of the house by the gate. The Pahonu plaque is seen in at least one episode of Magnum P.I. - the one where Rick is guarding the gate with an Ozi if I remember right. I can't remember the episode though.

It appears to be generally the same (second screenshot from Never Again...Never Again (1.7):

Upon further review, it appears that "Pahonu" translates to "turtle enclosure", not "sea turtle". My bad.

Thanks sophia. I was wrong though, you only see an address plaque - "1429" which isn't the correct address for the Anderson estate. They covered the Pahonu plaque with the fake address

Image

I was thinking of this picture, which was my starting point to find out about the history of the Pahonu Turtle Pond.
