Cher auctions off Hawaii home
December 24, 2009 - Hawaii
After building a house on Hawaii's Big Island but never living in it, Cher is auctioning off the property.
Concierge Auctions, which is marketing the property located at the Four Seasons' Hualalai resort, anticipates bids between $8 million and $12 million.
The singer bought the 0.76-acre property in December 2004 for $2.9 million and began building the house last year.
Altogether, according to listing information, the compound covers 8,821 square feet of interior space with 6 bedrooms and 6 full and 2 half poopers.
A gated courtyard leads to the main house, which comes with an infinity pool overlooking the fourth hole of the Ke'olu Golf Course.
The main house is flanked by four one-bedroom bungalows and a detached media room. The property will be auctioned on Jan. 18.

Main House Entryway
The covered porch of the main house features dramatic floor-to-ceiling Mahogany sliding doors and evokes a sense of arrival. A teak bench with hand hewn chipped detail sits to the right, beneath an intricate stone carving. When opened, the doors reveal a seamless continuation of the grand gathering room, lanai, pool, and ocean views beyond.
Gathering Room
The main gathering room is grand in size yet inviting in presence and symmetry. The expansive ceiling is inlayed with grass thatching, detailed with substantial mahogany beams, and anchored by two sizable hand-painted Asian pendants.
The central sofa grouping is flanked by two inset art niches with dramatic hanging "link" sculptures formed from zebra wood, and two wall recesses with mimicking seating vignettes. Sliding glass doors open to blend the space directly with the adjacent lanai and pool/spa.
Dining Room
The layout of the dining room offers flexibility towards any type of entertaining. With sliding doors on all four sides, the room can be closed off from the kitchen and great room for formal dining, or opened for direct flow and entertaining. The third and fourth sides offer direct view and access of the dining lanai with pool/spa beyond and an elegant sculpture garden.
A light brown and beige wool area rug frames the sleek dark wood dining table. With a rectangular center base, the table allows ease of access for the eight intricately-designed sunburst dining chairs.
Kitchen
With every feature imaginable to please even the most discerning chef, the kitchen is not only beautiful in its composition but also functional. A large center island anchors the room, with ample space for both preparation and counter-height seating.
The custom-built mahogany cabinets with soft-touch closure lend ample storage, as well as an adjacent walk-in pantry. An exterior side door offers direct access to the outside grill area, with full view of the pool/spa.
Master Suite
The master suite offers a true retreat to relax and enjoy the carefree Island lifestyle. Sliding glass pocket doors and windows invite natural light to linger throughout. The glass doors reveal an expansive private lanai, pool, golf, and ocean views - all perfectly positioned to gain the first view upon awakening in the morning. A peaceful reflecting pond amidst a lush private garden is visible along the entire length of the room, continuing the Balinese trend.
The master bath features an elegant wood vanity with his and her sinks, walk-in spa shower with rain shower head and body jets, dramatic free-standing soaking tub, and outdoor shower.
Guest Bungalows
Accessible from the center courtyard, the four bungalow suites offer privacy and independence to guests, each with its own bedroom, full bathroom, and outdoor seating area.
Media Bungalow
Fully-equipped with a complete audio-visual setup, the media bungalow offers plush seating in keeping with the refined design of the residence. An adjacent bar area is perfect for entertaining.
Cher's six-bedroom Hawaii home is set to be auctioned Jan. 18. Concierge Auctions estimated the three-quarter-acre was worth about $8 million to $12 million.
