Talk show host Oprah Winfrey bought a 42-acre estate for an estimated $50 million, making it one of the most expensive private homes in the country.
The Montecito estate, located south of Santa Barbara, includes a 23,000-square-foot main house and smaller guest and gate houses, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday, citing local real estate and other unnamed sources.
The estate has ocean and mountain views and also features a barn, herb and flower gardens, an orchard, two ponds and a lake.
The sellers bought the property in 1998 for $14 million before embarking on an ambitious renovation. Winfrey reportedly fell in love with the Santa Barbara area in April while shooting photos for her magazine, O.
Winfrey, also owns a penthouse in Chicago and a farm in Indiana. Forbes magazine pegs her worth at $800 million.
