Ellen DeGeneres sells final US property to officially leave Hollywood for UK life

Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly sold her final U.S. property, marking the completion of her move as she fully relocates to the United Kingdom.

Ellen DeGeneres bids farewell to California as she makes her final move to England. The 67-year-old former talk show host has officially sold her last remaining California property, marking the end of an era as she begins her new life across the pond.

Four months ago, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, embraced a new chapter, settling in the serene English countryside. The couple purchased a stunning $18 million farmhouse in the picturesque Cotswolds, making it their new home.

Known for her extensive real estate ventures, DeGeneres has been selling off her U.S. properties in recent months. Earlier this month, she parted ways with her charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom Montecito home. The couple listed the property on March 10 for $4.99 million—nearly double the $2.9 million they paid for it just four years ago.

The 1,691-square-foot Spanish bungalow sparked immediate interest, with multiple offers flooding in within days. The home ultimately sold for $5.2 million, proving once again the lasting appeal of DeGeneres’ properties.

The Montecito home, originally built in 1954, underwent a major renovation in 2012, transforming it into a luxurious retreat. The property boasted spa-like bathrooms, a private courtyard, a charming terrace, and a cozy enclosed patio, making it the perfect sanctuary for relaxation and entertaining.

This marked the third property purchase within a year for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, according to Architectural Digest. The sale of their California home follows the couple’s decision to leave the U.S. for England, a move they made after President Trump’s election victory. With the sale of their final California property, the couple has fully embraced their new life in the English countryside.

In their new Cotswolds home, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have joined an exclusive community of affluent residents. Their purchase of the farmhouse exceeded the asking price by a staggering $3 million, signaling their commitment to luxury living in the picturesque English countryside.

However, the couple’s transition has not been without its challenges. Recently, they faced disputes with their British neighbors over an extension to their multimillion-dollar property. Despite these tensions, DeGeneres and de Rossi continue to embrace their new life in the Cotswolds, enjoying the tranquility and charm of rural England.

The couple now lives among other high-profile neighbors in the region, with the Cotswolds being a well-known destination for celebrities and wealthy individuals seeking privacy and a slower pace of life. The area’s idyllic beauty and proximity to London make it a favorite retreat for those in the public eye.

The Cotswolds, renowned for its breathtaking beauty, has long been a haven for celebrities seeking both privacy and luxury. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi now count among their neighbors a slew of British stars, including power couple David and Victoria Beckham, supermodel Kate Moss, actress Elizabeth Hurley, and television personality Jeremy Clarkson.

The area is also home to royalty, with King Charles and Queen Camilla’s Highgrove House nestled in Gloucestershire, further adding to the region’s allure.

In the midst of their relocation, DeGeneres and de Rossi recently celebrated a significant milestone in their relationship—20 years together. The couple marked the occasion with a heartfelt post on social media. “20 years together. Happy to be with you everywhere and always,” DeGeneres shared on Instagram. Married in 2008, the two continue to build their life in the UK, embracing the new chapter with open arms.
