Located on the Eastern coast of Orcas Island's East Sound sits the 41-acre estate known as Madroneagle - now known as the Oprah house! Of course, one home wasn't enough. The sprawling property is home to the Main House, a tea house, a custom sauna, a barn/workshop, an underground hut, and a craft shed. It appears that Oprah purchased the property in two separate transactions. 

According to public records, the larger parcel went for $7,150,00 and was purchased by West Hollywood-based Madrona Tree LLC, whose administrator manages Oprah's personal finances. The second parcel was purchased by Seed Money LLC of Telluride, CO for $1,125,000. After a bit of digging, we noticed that the administrator of Madrona Tree LLC is the same as that on file for Seed Money.

The location of the property doesn't get any better. Completely private and secluded, Oprah now has over 3,000 feet of West-facing private shoreline. On the other side is a thick forest full of private paths and hiking trails. Not far from Rosario Resort, Orcas Island's premier hotel, spa, and marina, Oprah's oasis is in the heart of the luxurious action.

The homes were owned and built by a prominent designer who lived on the island...and boy is it a beauty!

THE MAIN HOUSE
The main house is a whopping 7,303 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spread across 3 levels. Natural woods are used throughout the home solidifying its all-American, cabin feel. The floors were even brought in from the old Sears' building in Chicago and refinished for the home. As you enter the home you're greeted by a massive, hanging art piece that frames the foyer and sets the stage for what's to come.

The main level houses the kitchen, the living room, dining area, and bedrooms. The master bedroom features a stone wall with natural wood accents and an en-suite master bathroom full of marble and spa-like amenities.

A custom-built staircase leads to the upper level, where you'll find a huge bonus room/additional living room, as well as a decked out game room. And of course, a bathroom for easy access during Oprah all-nighters playing pool. Ok, maybe not.

The lower level has a huge home office but more important than that, there's a wine cellar and tasting room!

The exterior of the home is lush with native trees and plants manicured to a tee. Slate stone pavers and steps through the gardens provide a Zen-like feel to an already peaceful, earthy landscape.

AROUND THE PROPERTY

Like we said, there are multiple structures around the property that, as the listing suggests, inspire creativity and wellness. Live your best life Lady O!

The tea house is a gazebo of sorts, located just outside the main house and overlooking the East Sound. All 4 walls are windows and it's surrounded by a patio, with a firepit of course.

The barn is a woodworkers dream. I think it's safe to say Oprah will repurpose it. But in the lower level of the barn is a workout studio and yoga room with a wall of doors that open to a magnificent view.

The sauna is completely secluded and built into the land. No wonder Oprah bought this place. I guess this is what it takes to recharge after blessing us with those 'Aha Moments' day after day!

The Hut. Let's see. I don't know how to explain it. It looks like a Hobbit house and is built into the ground. Seems cool but I have no idea what it's for. Maybe it'll be where she goes to admire her gold bricks.
