Avatar star puts up properties for sale

Sam Worthington, the Australian actor best known for his lead role in “Avatar,” is putting his Kauai North Shore properties up for sale for about $6.5 million.

The 11 acres of property in Kealia Makai include a three bathroom, three-bedroom 4,352-square-foot home as well as about six acres of an adjacent vacant lot, according to public records.

Worthington, who also starred in “Clash of the Titans,” “Terminator Salvation” and “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” purchased the properties between September 2011 and April 2012. He’s also part of the cast of ” Everest,” which is scheduled to be released in September.

The three bedroom, three-bathroom property was purchased for $4.7 million, while the vacant land was purchased for $1.4 million, according to property records.

Worthington was reportedly spotted on the Garden Isle in August.

Some scenes in Avatar, which broke numerous box office records on its way to becoming the top-grossing film of all time, were filmed on Kauai, according to the Kauai Film Commission.

Worthington’s listings are yet another sign of the active Kauai North Shore real estate market.

Last week, PBN reported that celebrity martial artist and actor Chuck Norris is buying property in the area.
Other well-known people who have recently snatched up Kauai North Shore property include Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Oakley founder James Jannard.
