Oprah's Oceanside Retreats

I love Oprah's show and what she does. She's a force of good, and all her wonderful oceanside retreats..., in my opinion, she earned them big time...

... in her Santa Monica ranch, she can be as close to the ocean as one can be...

... which is also true for her Bahama retreat on Paradise Island...

... and her Caribbean getaway on Antigua..., all of these homes allow her to mingle with her celebrity friends...

... then two privacy retreats..., 60 acres on Maui (Kula) in Hawaii with porches that offer sweeping views of the Pacific...

... and Oprah's 42-acre spot in Montecito, CA, a pricey enclave near Santa Barbara, which is home to many other celeb getaways...

... and then there was, well still is, Oprah's condo on Fisher Island, Miami's most exclusive offshore neighborhood..., put up for sale last year in June for 2.090 million...

... and according to Miami Beach Real Estate it's still available, now listed for $1.795m. Interested? And I can't but wonder..., is this list complete?

And what are others lovin' this week..., go see at Hooked on Fridyas

Holy Smokes!!! I'll take one of each, please!! ;-)

They're all beautiful homes, but I think my favourite is the house in Santa Monica right next to the water. I love the big smooth rocks on the shore.

I must admit, I am hooked on oprah just liked I am hooked on staircase railings and Julia's blog party! I especially like her shows that teach me something...safety tips, compassion, giving, health tips, whatever it might be. She does having some stunning homes. Good for her!

My first visit to your blog... I like it!

Hi Maya! Of all her beach places, I love the one in Maui the best. She did a spread on it on one of her home magazines. I kept it because I thought it was just beautiful. She has a lot of homes...I'd take just one please.

I'm sure those Oprah bucks have bought many more houses than this LOL I remember when she moved to SB and everyone was having a complete cow over something she was doing. I can't remember what it was, but they weren't happy. It's good to be Oprah, that's for sure :)

I knew she had a lot of houses but I didn't know she had one in Antigua AND the Bahamas. I think I like the Hawaii one the best. There was a spread in her magazine (I think) and it looked gorgeous.

Pam Kersting said...

I love Oprah too, but how many retreats does one need? This only covers the coastal ones. I know of at least another retreat in Santa Fe, NM. Wonder how often she visits each one?
