Chamberlain is selling home on Maui for $19M[/size]

King of the TV miniseries Richard Chamberlain has listed his oceanfront Maui home at Keawakapu Beach for sale at $19 million.

Realtor Nancy Callahan sold Chamberlain the half-acre property on which he built the four-bedroom, 3 1/2 -bath home with a two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house, and is "honored" to have been retained to sell the home.

Chamberlain is "such a gentleman, a very kind man," she said.

The beach is what many people envision as paradise and as such, his neighbors include other celebrities and people of high net worth, including film director Richard Donner and multifaceted show-business luminary Shep Gordon, who is also a charter member of Hawaii Regional Cuisine Inc., a non-chef among a hui of chefs who put Hawaii cuisine on the map.

"Here's what my thought is," Callahan said. "The beach is outstanding, but what they did (in designing and building the house) is of such quality -- attention to detail -- it truly is exquisite." The home will be sold furnished, exclusive of Chamberlain's art collection.

The 6,150-square-foot home and 1,980-square-foot carriage house (guest quarters), completed in 2005, is gated and, among its many features, has 100 feet of beach frontage.

The actor is relocating to Los Angeles to refocus on his acting career, including his upcoming role on the TNT show "Leverage," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Chamberlain rose to fame five decades ago as Dr. Kildare on the eponymous NBC-TV series and regained prominence in the 1980s by starring in TV miniseries including "Shogun," "Tai Pan" and "The Thorn Birds."

Callahan does not believe Chamberlain's celebrity adds to the price of the home or to its ability to sell.

"I am very old-school. I learned very early on that homes sell themselves. Brokers should just give good information," she said. Home buyers either "feel" a house or know "it's not my home," she said.

The luxury real estate market slowed, along with everything else during the recession, so a high-end home nowadays may be on the market for as long as a year.

Three years ago, when the market was very different, a luxury home might sell in 30 days, she said.

At that level, buyers are not looking for properties to "flip," she said. "They're buying it for themselves and for their family -- to keep."

There will be no open houses at the Chamberlain property and showings are by appointment only to qualified potential buyers, Callahan said.

Lookee-loos need not call.
