The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home, purchased for $2.9 million (approx. $4.4 million AUD) in 2020, is described as a blend of “simplicity and sophistication.” It features a chef’s kitchen, sun-drenched patios, a private primary suite with a spa-like bath, and a spacious backyard with potential for a pool or guest house.
The listing by the Riskin Partners Estate Group comes just months after DeGeneres re-listed another Montecito property for $29.99 million (approx. $45.6 million AUD), further signalling her commitment to a permanent life in the U.K.
The former talk show host and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the Cotswolds last year, leaving behind their extensive real estate investments in California.
While the couple has embraced their new countryside lifestyle, the transition hasn’t been entirely smooth. Reports by Realtor suggest that DeGeneres has faced planning disputes with local authorities over renovations at their new $18 million (approx. $27.3 million AUD) farmhouse.
Concerns have been raised about potential flooding risks and the impact of construction on historic Roman remains, with local councillors reportedly objecting to parts of the extension.
Despite these setbacks, DeGeneres and de Rossi appear intent on staying in the U.K, with reports indicating they are already eyeing a 10,000-square-foot mansion nearby.
Given DeGeneres’ well-documented history of flipping luxury properties, it remains to be seen whether this next home will be a long-term residence or another investment opportunity.
