In a subtle move, Nikki Haley, currently vying for the Republican presidential ticket and trailing former President Donald Trump in recent primary polls, quietly spent $2.4 million for a waterfront estate on Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
The 51-year-old political figure, previously the US ambassador to the United Nations, procured the residence in October 2019, following her exit from public office and five months after joining the board of Boeing.
The Post has reached out to Haley’s reps for comment.
This expansive mansion, jointly purchased with her husband, Michael Haley, finds its place in the exclusive enclave of Kiawah Island.
Originally listed for $3.3 million, Haley and her husband’s adept negotiation skills resulted in a significant reduction in the property’s price at the time.
Constructed in 2003, the Mediterranean-style dwelling sprawls across a half acre, commanding picturesque views of the Kiawah River, adorned with century-old oaks and palm trees. Kiawah Island, located less than an hour’s drive from Charleston, has long been known as an affluent, but lowkey, beach getaway with prime golf courses and its famed Sanctuary resort.
Over the years, Kiawah has hosted a plethora of distinguished guests, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey and President Joe Biden.
The sophisticated architecture boasts tiered balconies, private terraces, a pool and a poolside loggia housing an outdoor kitchen.
Internally, the abode encompasses more than 5,700 square feet, accommodating four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, offering ample formal spaces.
Upon entry, a grand two-story foyer leads to a spacious great room showcasing picture windows, lofty ceilings, a fireplace and a bar area.
