Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are packing up their picture-perfect life in the English countryside and putting their Cotswolds dream home on the market, less than a year after moving in.
The former talk show host, 67, and the Arrested Development alum, 52, revealed on July 22 to The Wall Street Journal that they are listing the storied property for about $30 million. It is a swift turn of events for a couple who only arrived in Britain last year and immediately threw themselves into a whirlwind renovation.
The pair snapped up the estate, known as Kitesbridge Farm, for roughly $20 million in the spring of 2024.
What they bought was a historic spread with beautiful bones and a tired finish.

I guess either one could mow the lawn or clean the carpets so to speak.
May the its buy a farm in afrika.

Who the ____ cares? Just as long as I don't have to hear her criticizing President Trump, she can hook up with A lesbian Muslim trans...
Hmmm...a lesbian Muslim trans, sounds like a new Democrat group... 😀
Maybe she learned that being a total b___tch to the mansion staff is actionable in the UK?
Nice but they could have bought cabinet doors.

SPRING of 2024??? But they said they moved because Trump won.
First I’ve seen a bass player play the bass and piano at the same time!
Maybe they’ll move to the Island of Lesbos, that’s where it all started.
Didn’t it flood?
>Cha cha cha! 🤓
Too bad she won’t kick the bucket like the beginning of the movie
UK is implementing enormous new taxes on foreign property owners. It’s been in headlines recently. That’s my guess as to why... or part of it.
Caleb most likely
Mr. GG2 says that all the time. 😆
The UK just passed a law to tax rich people on all assets worldwide. Many are leaving the UK. I suspect this is the reason she may be selling.
Yes they did, but Ellen will never admit that is why she is selling.
