Musician Carlos Santana is trading up.
A year after shelling out $8 million for a vacation home on the Hawaii island of Kauai, the guitarist has closed on a larger property nearby for $20.5 million, according to sources familiar with the deal.
Located in Princeville, an enclave on Kauai’s North Shore, the contemporary house spans about 8,200 square feet with an expansive lanai, according to the listing from Ben Welborn and Neal Norman of Hawai’i Life. The gated property, which also has an infinity pool and views of Hanalei Bay, was listed for $27.75 million in October, according to Zillow.
The house is located about 4 miles from the smaller property Mr. Santana purchased last year. That roughly 4,000-square-foot home is now hitting the market for $12.9 million, said Mr. Norman, the listing agent, who also represented Mr. Santana in his purchase of the larger home. Set on around 3 acres, the smaller house has four bedrooms, 4 ½ baths and about 1,500 square feet of outdoor space, including a pool.
Mr. Santana’s primary home is in Las Vegas, but he likes to escape to Hawaii when possible, said Michael Vrionis, the musician’s manager and brother-in-law. “He loves to vacation there,” Mr. Vrionis said. “When you travel all the time, you’re on tour all the time, I think he likes the serenity of Kauai.”
