Somehow I've missed this. Is this in the study?

Yes, Higgins places the photo on his desk for his Sandhurst mates to see in "Compulsion" (season 5). Higgins turns the photo of he and General Montogmery toward the door of the study for all to see. In response to Higgins' question of whether you can see the photo from the door, Agatha says something like "they'll be able to tell it's you and General Montgomery."

what do you think the market value of the estate would be? and how much of a premium (presuming it would add a premium) would the show have added to it?

There was a discussion about the value on the Yahoo site last spring. This was the most accurate figure someone named Jason came up with from Zillow, which I am guessing is a device for realtors.....
(copied and pasted below)

Zillow gives it an estimate of 5,458,615.

41-505 Kalanianaole Hwy, Waimanalo, HI 96795 11 beds, 8.5 baths, 8,921 sq ft

ZESTIMATE™: $5,458,615

Value Range: $4,858,167 - $6,604,924

30-day change: -$55,624 Last updated: 04/08/2007

It also says it was built in 1933!! I had no idea the structures were so old, they sure don’t look it.

Now all I have to do is win the lottery, have a long lost rich relative die and will me the money OR, have a super rich actress/supermodel fall in love with me and give me the money to keep me happy as her "love toy".

I wonder what the land lease payment is. That's five acres of prime ocean front land and I'd bet the lease payment's HUGE.

thanks a lot for the answer steve. if all 163 magnum mania members pitch in ,it'd only be a little over 30k each,,,,peanuts

....i'll take my 2 days in march

Okay, I have my $30M! Now with 11 bedrooms and 8.5 baths, I bet more than one of us could stay there at a time. So I'd be willing to share my two days with another 8-10 persons. So if each of us officially buys only two days each, I bet we could share enough to at least have a week there, don't you think?

Sounds perfect to me golf! To spend a week with people that are just as obsessed with Magnum as I am....pure bliss!! LOL

30K?? A mere pittance to pay for an opportunity of a lifetime!

SL,

Can you IMAGINE how much fun we all would have, dressing up in costume, and recreating SO many episodes??? A couple of people would just have to come as the apochryphal Hungarian acrobats though!

Still, trying to guess who was portraying whom . . . . what utter, complete fun for all of us!

But even without costumes, what joy to just wander the grounds, lounge in a hammock, play croquet and/or sit on the lanai with mai-tais and "Coops" long-neck bottled beer -- though we'd have to stay away from the beach and all the crass "tourists"! No! We'll charge minimal admission prices for tours -- to allow other fans in and only to finance the supplies we'll need (like food!).

Okay, where do we rent the Ferrari????

Just out of curiosity, I found the Zillow site and ran the address.
Here is the link;
http://tinyurl.com/2xvvxt
I went back to the thread on the Yahoo discussion board and David Romas pointed out that The Estate had been in the Anderson Family since the mid 1920's (Mr Romas is amazing) and hadn't changed hands for a true assessment. Even if you added another million to the price I think many Magnum fans would still love to buy it if they had the means but I sure would act dumb about being a fan of the show. You know a realtor would smell blood in the water if a true fan let on about Robins Nest......

Sign me up for 30K. I'll sell the wife's jewelry, that leaves 29.5K. Now where can I come up with the rest... I know, I'll strip for it. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

No way, we'll just do beach recreation scenes!

Swimming in and Picking locks! (Pilot)
Shooting at rubber rafters in the middle of the night! (No Need To Know)

Crashing planes on it! (Two Birds of a Feather)
Taking pot shots at corrupt politicians! (Tran Quoc Jones)
Playing old school 80's style videogames and amassing 20,000 pts (Black on White).

Golf, the possibilites are ENDLESS!

Definetly the estate! Then I would open it up free for Magnum Mania members and a small donation for anybody else, I would then save my money and buy the 308GTS!
