The Anderson Estate is seen in this scene from

"The Case Against Philip Christie" (Season 11).

 

The Anderson Estate, which was located on the Kalanianaʽole Highway in Waimanalo, Oʽahu, Hawaiʽi, appeared in 12 episodes of Hawaii Five-0* before it became known as Robin’s Nest on Magnum, PI.

​

Constructed in the 1930s, it was 9000 square feet of Spanish Hacienda-style beauty. By the second decade of the 21st century, however, it had reached the point where it needed either a complete restoration or else, sadly, demolition. The latter won out, and in 2018, it was torn down. Read more about this beautiful Spanish Hacienda-style residence:
