Nearly a decade after trading the fast-paced energy of New York City for the tranquil shores of the Pacific, former Victoria's Secret Angel Jessica Stam has placed her sprawling Hawaii estate on the market for $5 million. The Canadian-born model, who rose to international fame as a face of the iconic lingerie brand, is parting with the property that has served as her personal sanctuary away from the fashion world's spotlight.
The estate, situated on the Big Island, offers an expansive retreat designed for both relaxation and entertainment. Spanning multiple acres, the property features a main residence with open-concept living spaces that blur the line between indoor and outdoor island living. Floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, while lush tropical landscaping surrounds the home, providing complete privacy. The master suite opens directly onto a private lanai, and the grounds include a resort-style infinity pool, a spa, and outdoor lounging areas ideal for soaking in the Hawaiian sun.
Stam originally purchased the property years ago as a full-time residence, stepping away from the constant travel and high-pressure modeling circuit. The estate reflects her personal aesthetic—a blend of modern luxury and natural, earthy elements. Local real estate agents note that the $5 million price tag is competitive for the area, given the size and the quality of the finishes. The listing is expected to attract buyers seeking a turnkey luxury escape in one of Hawaii's most desirable locations.
