Steve Jobs’s widow, Laurene Powell, who is said to be the richest woman in Silicon Valley, has reportedly purchased a $4 million home in Sun Valley, Idaho, where Apple CEO Tim Cook is attending the Allen & Company media conference this week. The new property is said to be located near a river’s edge in the wetlands area, and boasts three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms.

The New York Post reports:

Although late Apple visionary Steve Jobs was never a fixture at the mogul retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho, it appears that his wife has taken a real shine to the place.

Laurene Powell Jobs purchased a home in the area within the last few days.

The house, on the border with nearby Ketchum, Idaho, is said to be a small double A-frame home valued between $3 million and $4 million.

The report comes just a week after Cult of Mac reported that major renovations were currently underway on the Jobs family home in Palo Alto, California, which have forced Powell and her three children to vacate the property.

Worth an estimated $9 billion, Powell is the richest woman in Silicon Valley, according to Forbes.
