In the heart of Oklahoma’s sun-drenched prairies, where the Red River meets the boundless sky, Blake Shelton has crafted a slice of tropical serenity that defies its Midwestern roots. Tucked along the shores of Lake Texoma—the sprawling reservoir straddling the Oklahoma-Texas line—sits a sprawling Hawaiian-style estate that’s become more than just a retreat; it’s a love letter in palm fronds and infinity pools, meticulously designed for Shelton’s wife, Gwen Stefani, and her three energetic sons. Completed in phases over the past several years, with final touches added in early 2025, this $4.5 million waterfront wonder blends the laid-back luxury of the Aloha State with the rugged charm of Sooner State living. For Shelton, the 49-year-old country music titan whose baritone has soundtracked countless road trips and heartbreak anthems, the property represents the pinnacle of his blended-family vision: a sanctuary where Stefani’s Hollywood hustle meets his down-home simplicity, and where the boys—Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo—can trade L.A. traffic for lazy afternoons on the water.

Shelton’s affinity for Oklahoma runs as deep as the lake itself. Born and raised in the small town of Ada, about 90 miles southeast of Oklahoma City, he left for Nashville at 17 chasing stardom but never severed ties to his homeland. Over the decades, he’s amassed a portfolio of properties that read like a love song to the Sooner State: a 1,300-acre working ranch near Tishomingo, complete with cattle pastures and a recording studio where he penned hits like “God’s Country”; a modest Ada farmhouse that’s served as a family hub; and now, this Lake Texoma gem, acquired in the mid-2010s and transformed into a tropical oasis. “Oklahoma’s my compass,” Shelton once drawled in a People magazine profile, his voice thick with that signature twang. “It’s where I recharge, where the noise fades and the real stuff—family, fishing, a cold beer at sunset—comes into focus.” For Stefani, the 55-year-old No Doubt frontwoman and The Voice alumna whose life has been a whirlwind of platinum records and red-carpet glamour, the estate offers a counterpoint to her Encino mansion’s sleek modernity. “It’s like stepping into a dream,” she shared in a 2024 Instagram Reel, panning across swaying palms to her boys cannonballing into the pool. “Blake built this for us—a place to breathe, to just be.”

The genesis of the Hawaiian-style estate traces back to 2016, when Shelton, then newly engaged to Stefani after their whirlwind romance ignited on The Voice set, envisioned a wedding gift that would symbolize their union’s unique alchemy. Reports from that era buzzed with excitement over blueprints for a lakefront paradise inspired by Stefani’s love for Hawaii—where No Doubt filmed iconic videos like “Don’t Speak” amid volcanic shores—and Shelton’s desire to infuse his Oklahoma plot with island escapism. Construction kicked off quietly on a 10-acre parcel in Cumberland Cove, a gated enclave known for its celebrity whispers (neighbors include former NFL stars and tech moguls). Local builders, sworn to secrecy, hauled in Hawaiian lava rock for accents, imported thatched roofing from Polynesian suppliers, and engineered a swim-up tiki bar that rivals anything in Waikiki. By 2018, the core structure—a 5,000-square-foot main house with open-air lanais—was habitable, just in time for Stefani and the boys’ first family getaway. “I wanted it to feel like Hawaii crashed into Oklahoma,” Shelton explained during a rare tour for Architectural Digest in 2023. “Palms waving over wheat fields? That’s us—two worlds colliding, but making something beautiful.”

Step inside, and the estate unfolds like a luau invitation. The great room, with its vaulted ceilings of reclaimed cedar and floor-to-ceiling windows framing Lake Texoma’s glassy expanse, flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen where volcanic stone counters gleam under pendant lights shaped like hibiscus blooms. Stefani, an avid home cook famous for her vegan twists on comfort food, has personalized the space with colorful Le Creuset pots in shades of seafoam and sunset orange, while Shelton’s touch shows in the stocked wet bar—think top-shelf bourbon alongside fresh pineapple muddlers for piña coladas. Adjoining the kitchen is a media lounge with plush sectional sofas arranged around a 85-inch screen, perfect for movie nights where the boys binge Marvel flicks or Shelton queues up classic Westerns. But it’s the outdoor realms that steal the show: a 100-foot infinity pool, heated year-round, spills toward the lake like a cascading waterfall, complete with a grotto hot tub and underwater speakers piping in chill ukulele playlists. Flanking the pool are cabanas with thatched roofs and mosquito-net drapes, where family game nights unfold amid tiki torches flickering against the dusk.

For the boys—Kingston Rossdale, now 19 and eyeing a music career; Zuma Nesta, 16, the skateboarding daredevil; and Apollo Bowie, 11, the budding artist—the estate is a playground writ large. Shelton, who embraced stepdad duties with the fervor of a man handed a second chance at family after his own childless years, designed kid-centric zones with input from Stefani’s maternal blueprint. The lower level boasts a game room tricked out like a mini arcade: vintage pinball machines salvaged from Nashville honky-tonks, a VR setup for virtual surf sessions (a nod to Hawaii), and a wall of guitars for impromptu jam sessions—Kingston’s already collaborated with Shelton on a demo track there. Outdoor adventures abound: a private dock with jet skis and a pontoon boat for sunset cruises, where Zuma’s mastered wakeboarding and Apollo’s hooked largemouth bass bigger than his grin. “These kids light up the place,” Shelton said in a 2025 Billboard interview, his eyes crinkling with pride. “Kingston’s got Gwen’s fire on stage, Zuma’s all energy, Apollo’s the quiet dreamer. Building this for them? Best investment I ever made.”

Stefani’s influence weaves through every corner, transforming the rustic base into a bohemian retreat that echoes her Harajuku whimsy. The master suite, a serene pavilion overlooking the lake, features a king-sized bed swathed in linen mosquito netting, with walls adorned in her custom watercolor florals—vibrant plumeria and orchids sourced from Hawaiian botanical prints. Her walk-in closet, a climate-controlled haven, houses her enviable wardrobe: vintage Vivienne Westwood alongside Shelton’s Wrangler jeans, a harmonious clash of ska-punk edge and cowboy cool. The estate’s gardens, tended by a local landscaper with a green thumb for exotics, burst with plumeria trees air-freighted from Maui, koi ponds bubbling under bamboo fountains, and fire pits encircled by Adirondack chairs for storytelling circles. During the pandemic lockdown in 2020, when the couple quarantined here with the boys, Stefani turned the sunroom into an art studio, where Apollo’s finger-paintings now hang alongside her sketches for her NXVE beauty line. “This house holds our chaos and our calm,” she reflected in a Vogue spread last spring. “Blake gets it—it’s not just walls; it’s where we heal, laugh, grow.”

The build wasn’t without its hurdles, a testament to Shelton’s hands-on grit. Early on, permitting snags arose over the thatched roofs’ fire codes—Oklahoma’s wildfire risks clashing with Hawaiian authenticity—prompting Shelton to install state-of-the-art sprinkler systems and flame-retardant weaves. Supply chain delays during the 2021 shortages meant palm imports sat in customs for weeks, testing the couple’s patience amid wedding planning (they ultimately tied the knot at the Tishomingo ranch in 2021, but the lakehouse served as honeymoon HQ). Budget overruns hit $500,000, largely from the infinity pool’s engineering—a marvel that required underwater LED lighting synced to music for Stefani’s impromptu poolside concerts. Yet, Shelton, whose net worth hovers around $100 million from tours, residuals, and his Ole Red empire, viewed it as an investment in legacy. “Money’s just paper,” he quipped to locals during construction coffee runs. “This? It’s roots for Gwen’s boys, memories that’ll outlast me.”

Beyond the glamour, the estate embodies the couple’s blended ethos: a bridge between Stefani’s coastal California vibe and Shelton’s heartland soul. They’ve hosted star-studded escapes here—Trace Adkins fishing with the boys, Kelly Clarkson joining bonfire sing-alongs—but it’s the everyday magic that shines. Easter egg hunts amid the palms, Fourth of July fireworks launched from the dock, Thanksgiving feasts where Shelton smokes brisket while Stefani whips up cranberry harissa. The boys, once wide-eyed at the “cowboy castle,” now claim it as their own: Kingston’s penned lyrics in the studio loft, Zuma’s carved skate ramps from reclaimed dock wood, Apollo’s terrarium of exotic frogs thrives in the humidity-controlled greenhouse. For Shelton, childless by biology but father in every sense, it’s fulfillment deferred no longer. “I married Gwen, but I got three sons as a bonus,” he told Esquire in a candid 2024 sit-down. “This place? It’s their launchpad—teach ’em to drive a boat, build a fire, chase dreams without the L.A. rush.”

As October 2025’s foliage turns the lake’s edges crimson, the Hawaiian-style estate stands as a beacon of what love constructs when it defies geography. In a world of fleeting spotlights, Shelton and Stefani have built permanence: a tropic idyll on Oklahoma soil, where ukuleles strum alongside banjos, and family isn’t defined by blood but by the home you carve together. Whispers of expansions—a guest bungalow for the boys’ future families, perhaps a treehouse observatory for stargazing—hint at chapters yet unwritten. For now, it’s paradise found, one palm at a time—a testament that true luxury lies not in square footage, but in the laughter echoing across the water.
