Oprah’s Hawaii Farmhouse-
Oprah’s Hawaiian adventure began nearly a decade ago, when her personal trainer turned property manager, Bob Greene, planted the idea that she might buy land on one of the islands. Besotted with the weather, the mountains, and the ocean, Bob had been visiting a certain part of Hawaii for 15 years, looking for "the perfect spot."
He found it in a remote up-country region, where the houses that dot the moss-covered rock hillside face the ocean. Bob then convinced Oprah to look at a nearby property for sale. "He was worried that some developer might swoop up the land and build condos," Oprah says.
Instead, she bought the landâ€"and has no plan to build any condos.
"This was a project where place, client, and design were all in agreement," says Jeff Wooley, the architectural designer who renovated Oprah's house. He added a veranda; new French doors open up many of the rooms to the lush landscape. less
