Roseanne Barr is ready to part ways with a piece of her post-sitcom chapter. The 72-year-old comedian and actress is putting her 46-acre macadamia nut farm in Honokaa, Hawaii—best known as the backdrop of her 2011 Lifetime reality series Roseanne’s Nuts—on the market for $1.95 million.
Set along the Big Island’s verdant Hamakua Coast, the estate reflects both Barr’s personal reinvention and her deep connection to Hawaii, where she relocated in 2007. The farm became a stage for her exploration of self-sufficiency and organic farming, far from the spotlight that first made her a household name.

Barr’s trajectory in Hollywood has been anything but ordinary. She broke out in 1985 with a stand-up set on The Tonight Show and rose to fame as the matriarch of the Conner family on ABC’s Roseanne, a role that earned her an Emmy Award in 1993. After The Roseanne Show, a two-season talk series, she dabbled in reality television with Roseanne’s Nuts. Her eponymous sitcom was briefly rebooted before Barr’s departure; the network retooled the show as The Conners.
For Barr, the Hawaii farm was a grounding counterpoint to Hollywood’s turbulence. “I had always traveled yearly with my family to Hawaii—it was an essential summer getaway,” Barr tells Robb Report. “As my son grew older, we found that HPA (Hawaiʻi Preparatory Academy) was offering him a much better education than he was getting on the mainland. We decided to move here, and when I purchased the property in Honokaa, we also wanted to build a sustainable home and help feed struggling families in Hawaii.”

The farm is as abundant as it is picturesque. More than 4,000 macadamia trees spread across rolling acreage, complemented by avocados, finger limes, apple bananas, and tangerines. At the center sits a 2,716-square-foot residence with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. A broad lanai frames sweeping ocean and orchard views, while the grounds feature a pool with a waterslide, a pool house, an art studio, a greenhouse, a bamboo outdoor shower and soaking tub, and a garage/workshop.
The property gained pop-culture visibility when Roseanne’s Nuts premiered in 2011, following Barr, her partner Johnny Argent, and son Jake Pentland as they tried their hands at farming. The 16-episode series captured Barr’s famously irreverent approach to life. It also featured celebrity cameos from Phyllis Diller and Sandra Bernhard.
The main house has four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms.

“Aside from growing food to feed people, I really loved sharing my family with the world through the show,” Barr recalls. “It was special to work with my real-life family—before that, I had actors playing them, so it was a refreshing change of pace. My favorite memory—and from what I hear, a favorite for many others—was tearing through the landscape on my tractor. I felt so wild and free! The land, the farming, and the spirit of Hawaii are truly good for the soul.”
Listing agent Paul Stukin of Deep Blue HI says the offering is as much about cultural legacy as it is about land. “I’ve represented many iconic properties, but this one stands apart,” he says. “With macadamia sustaining Hawai‘i’s economy, the farm shows how land and community thrive together.”

After nearly two decades of stewardship, Barr is ready to hand it over. “Hawaii will always hold a special place in my heart, but I’m getting too old to do as much as I used to,” she says. “I would love to see someone else take over and continue to share the spirit of Ohana.”
That transition underscores a broader shift in her life. “I’m inspired to sell because, frankly, I’m just too damn old to keep doing this,” she admits. “The land deserves someone with the spirit and energy to care for it the way it should be. I still own a smaller property in Waimea and now live in Texas, where I’m involved in many exciting projects. I simply don’t have the time to give this place the love and attention it truly deserves.”
