It also includes a wine mine. "Instead of a regular ol’ wine cellar like every other rich person has, the seller opted for a Disney-esque wine tunnel elaborately decked out like an authentic mining shaft complete with rugged wood beams, lantern light fixtures, and a sound system that pipes in the sounds of creaking timber and dripping water," states Variety.

The listing agent told Zillow that the wine mine has “sound effects like you’re moving through a mine shaft and lights that are computerized to flicker like a lantern would in a mine.“ The steel ore cart is an antique, Zillow Porchlight writes. And the Los Angeles Times described “piped-in sounds of creaking wood and dripping water.” The property totals 8,700 square feet. The Los Angeles Times describes the home as “well within construction supervision range of the 60-plus acres she bought last year for $11 million.” The seller, Bob Wall, had once asked $15 million for the property, but he sold it furnished to Oprah for a million less. This is the back of the house, with a bridge that leads from the living room (background) to an observation deck with a fire pit, 35 feet off the ground. The path to the observation deck.
