I wonder if anyone has ever considered recreating Robin's Nest. Not as the Anderson Estate, but as it was supposed to be...
300 acres from the sea to the mountains
the orchard
the guest house
the study, library, wine cellar, courtyard, seawall, darkroom, the whole thing
the north shore of Oahu perhaps?
Rabbit Island would be a problem, but I think the turtle pond is doable.
Surely enough footage exists to make it how we remember it,
An ambitious proposal

It was said to be on the North Shore right? I know what you mean about the waves too. Of course they did seem to abandon the idea of a 300 acre estate later in the series with all the shots of the road and everything. I think that gets us down into the 40 million dollar range right there.
And if we went to the North Shore the light would all be wrong anyway. So it needs to be on the eastern shore of some island, if not Oahu. If we settle for someplace other than Oahu I think were down into the 20 million range, maybe less.
Don't think of it as 20 million, just 1 million 20 different times. spread out over the course of construction it wouldn't be so bad.
But what if there was just the interior. A place to stretch out and relax. You can almost hear TC bringing another load of tourists by. Now that's more reasonable. Living part time in paradise as it were?
But that is a big house. I mean a really big house, and we don't even know what most of it looks like or how it's laid out. Nor does anyone, it was never intended to be seen complete. Just little teasers here and there,
So what about one room. One place, meticulously recreated where one can close the door, and imagine the warm breezes of the tropical North Pacific, just blowing by the window. I'd do the study. I've got an unfinished room in the basement just the right shape and size. Now that sounds like a plan.

mc25a, that would fun to do, for sure. Of course, it would, for the most part, be up to your imagination as the majority of the estate was never seen. The only parts we ever saw was the "main compound", aka "The Anderson Estate".
We did see a map of Robin's Nest once, in "J. "Digger" Doyle":
