Jennifer Aniston’s Montecito Farmhouse Undergoes Major Renovations
Two years after acquiring the magnificent Montecito farmhouse from Oprah Winfrey for $14.8 million, Jennifer Aniston is making significant strides in transforming the property. Newly released photos reveal the extensive remodeling efforts the 55-year-old actress has undertaken to turn the house into her dream home.
Major Renovations and New Additions
Aniston‘s ambitious project includes the installation of a new pool in the backyard, which necessitated the removal of the previously existing lush lawn. The transformation has altered the backyard’s original layout, which featured a stone staircase leading to a grassy expanse surrounded by verdant greenery.
Visible in the construction area is a crane, stationed near the exterior of the emerging pool, highlighting the scale of the work underway. Various other tools and equipment are also present, though it remains unclear if additional renovations or remodeling are planned.
The Property’s History and Features
The farmhouse, originally purchased by Winfrey in 2021 for $10.5 million, was later divided into two separate properties. Aniston acquired the main home, while two smaller cottages on the estate were sold to Winfrey’s longtime friend and personal trainer, Bob Greene, for $2.3 million.
Built in 1998, the 4,320-square-foot residence is situated on a one-acre plot. It boasts four bedrooms and offers breathtaking ocean and mountain views. According to Architectural Digest, the property features multiple terraces, landscaped gardens, and a massive motor court, all nestled among oak trees at the end of a secluded, gated driveway.
