This Week’s Most Popular Home Is a Cool Hawaiian Compound

It’s appropriate that this week’s most popular home on realtor.com® hails from Hawaii. It’s vacation time around the nation—and the islands are the perfect place to spend a break from the grind of everyday life.

And we know you love to click on dreamy properties—but could you live in Hawaii year-round? Well, this popular property in Hanalei would make it quite easy, if you have nearly $14 million to spare. The cool compound on Kauai’s north shore offers two separate houses to please most buyers. When you do the math, it’s only $7 million per house. A relative bargain to walk the sands of Hanalei Bay each morning!

Back on the mainland, you also clicked on homes owned by notable figures in the world of sports, an old gristmill in Pennsylvania, a couple of log cabins, and a converted firehouse.

Scroll down, because we’re ready to fan the flames on this week’s most-clicked homes.

10. 6856 Little Creek Rd, Lower Mt Bethel Township, PA

Price: $449,900
Why it’s here: While the grindstone at this former gristmill has been retired, the historic structure still stands. Built 250 years ago, the Mill at Martin’s Creek has been updated and expanded over the years, creating a cool opportunity for a buyer looking to snag a slice of history.

9. Highway 61, Two Harbors, MN

Price: $295,000
Why it’s here: A true old-time log cabin! Built in 1924, this rustic wood home features an interior with modern updates and smart renovations. We’d spend every summer weekend on Lake Superior if we purchased this super structure.

8. 7 Montagel Way, Birmingham, AL

Price: $9,900,000
Why it’s here: We first profiled Alabama’s most expensive home in January 2015. Known as America’s largest home, the 50,000-square-foot mansion is still waiting for a buyer willing to plunk down multiple millions to indulge in horse riding, swimming, and just swinging from any of the plentiful chandeliers in this lavish establishment.

7. 2448 Greer Rd, Palo Alto, CA

Price: $2,798,000
Why it’s here: This cool Eichler sits on a cul-de-sac in one of the country’s most expensive cities. Palo Alto’s median home price is currently sitting at $2.3 million, which means you’ll have to cough up a little extra to live the Mid-Century Modern lifestyle. This fully renovated four-bedroom home with clean lines and a beautiful backyard just might be worth it.

Price: $255,000
