Larger-than-life celebrity, Oprah Winfrey, has purchased a 41-acre estate on Orcas Island, a picturesque getaway situated between Seattle and Vancouver. The recent royal wedding attendee acquired the property through two transactions, which were both managed by her financial advisor. Listing agent Wally Gudgell of Windermere Real Estate/Orcas Island told us, “It was a passive investment handled by Oprah’s investment office and there is no indication that she will be occupying the property.”According to Velvet Ropes, the larger parcel sold for $7.15 million while the second parcel closed for $1.125 million, meaning that the billionaire dropped a modest (for her) $8.275 million in total.For that price, the former talk show host gains a 7,303-square-foot, three-story main residence boasting four bedrooms and a 2,948-square-foot guesthouse offering an additional four bedrooms. Should she choose to use it as a vacation home, best pal, Gayle King, and her many other influential friends might enjoy breaking from their busy schedules to visit and take in the great outdoors.While the rustic estate offers many incredible features, some of Oprah’s favorite things might be the wood fired pizza oven or luxurious sauna. Along with inside spaces like an entertainment room and wine cellar, enchanting trails and private beach access could find a spot on her famous list as well.
