Oprah's new home has a tower and a "wine mine". Yes, a "wine mine".

Have you ever experienced moments where you have felt pleased – dare I even say it – proud, of your own little home?

Maybe the moment you purchased not just one, but TWO bedside tables rather than putting your stuff on the ground next to your bed? Or, when you actually decided to spend money on those fragrance-diffusing things so your bathroom smelt like (artificial) lavender?

Well, savour those moments because Oprah Winfrey just bought a $14 million house mansion and unfortunately, your two bedside tables just aren’t going to cut it there.

Real estate company, Zillow, recently published all the details of Oprah’s glorious abode and we can tell you, it truly takes the Most Luxurious Celebrity Mansion Prize.

Located on the “slope side of a mountain village” in Telluride, Collardo, Oprah’s estate (only 8,700 square-feet) has five bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms (yes, that’s 1.5 more bathrooms than bedrooms), a turret-style tower, and professes 360 degree panoramic views of Colorado’s San Sophia Mountain Range.

We’ll just give you a few seconds to take that in.

In addition to her Disney-like tower, Oprah has her own mud room, an aerial fire pit, a hot tub that fits up to seven people and a “faux mining car”, which she can jump in and ride down to her nearby ski trail. Handy, right?

If her days spent lounging in her mud room, skiing the slopes of Colorado or relaxing in her Oprah tower, still aren’t enough, The Queen of TV can explore her 56-foot-long “wine mine”.

It holds 1,600 bottles of wine. Let me repeat: one-thousand-six-hundred bottles of wine.

You may be wondering: how could Oprah even get to her 56-foot-long wine mine? Never fear – she has an “antique” cart that will get her there.

If she decides to take a trip down to her wine mine, Oprah will travel through a “chilled, humidified room” (with sounds effects and flickering lights) to imitate a real mine shaft. Well, riding in a cart down to your wine mine really would be no fun without sound effects.

The previous owner of the home, a “tech executive”, built-in a bunch of smart features including climate control, a weather station, and even the ability to water indoor plants if you’re not at home.

Oprah's House.

Well, Oprah, the only way you could make us feel any better was if you yelled:

“Now: YOU GET AN OPRAH-MANSION. AND YOU GET AN OPRAH-MANSION”.

Excuse my ignorance, but.... What is a mud room???

I'm pretty sure it's a little room near the front door where people take off and leave coats, wet/dirty/snowy shoes, etc. Don't think they're that uncommon in the US especially in colder climates?

It's just a fancy utility room inside of one of your back doors. It's usually where people leave their muddy shoes and coats when they come in from the weather
