Jennifer Aniston’s Montecito farmhouse pictured undergoing major construction – after actress purchased stunning estate from Oprah Winfrey for $14.8 million
Construction is well underway on Jennifer Aniston’s luxurious Montecito farmhouse – two years after the Friends star purchased the palatial home from Oprah Winfrey for $14.8 million.
New photos showcase the remodeling Aniston, 55, has been doing to transform the property from a house into a home.
Aniston appears to be installing a pool into the backyard, and the lush lawn that previously existed has been completely removed to accommodate her new amenity.
The home previously boasted a backyard with a stone staircase leading towards a grassy lawn surrounded by greenery, all of which is now gone.
The equipment needed to transform the backyard includes a crane, which was resting just beside the exterior of the pool.
Various other tools and equipment were pictured on the construction site as well. It’s unclear if Aniston is having any other renovations or remodeling done on the property.
The 4,320 square feet farmhouse sits on a one acre plot of land and boasts four bedrooms.
Prior to Aniston, Oprah owned the home.
Oprah purchased the two-acre estate in 2021 for $10.5 million and split it into two properties – the main home now owned by Aniston and the accompanying two smaller cottages were sold to her longtime friend and personal trainer Bob Greene for $2.3 million
Aniston’s new abode, built in 1998, has ‘picturesque ocean and mountain views, multiple terraces, landscaped gardens, and a massive motorcourt, all set on a private lot nestled among oak trees at the end of a long gated driveway,’ according to Architectural Digest.
The home has quite a bit of privacy on its heavily wooded premises, grassy lawns and a enough parking to easily accommodate fifteen cars.
It’s not the only home Aniston owns – she also has a $20.97 million mansion in Bel Air.
The Emmy winner, who has a reported net worth of $320 million, per a report from Cosmopolitan, is known for her starring role as Rachel Green in the iconic sitcom Friends.
Last month, Aniston took to Instagram to celebrate her Friends co-star and BFF Courteney Cox’s 60th birthday.
The post included shots of them over the years and a sweet message praising Courteney.
She wrote in the caption: ‘Celebrating this powerful, magical, mystical, interesting, interested, ferociously talented girl today!!! My sweet CC @courteneycoxofficial… she’s funny like no other, STUNNING on the inside and out.
‘Independent in the most gorgeous way, cares for everyone even if she doesn’t know you. Terrified of dogs even though I’ve never known her NOT to have at least two of them ☺️ Fiercely loyal to the end. She’ll redecorate a room like nobody’s business.
‘Spot a smudge on a window from a mile (literally) away. She doesn’t care what other people think!! (applause emojis) I can’t imagine a world without her. It’s one of my great honors to call her one of my best friends for life… Happy happy birthday CC. I love you!’
