Comedian Ellen Degeneres and her wife, Porta de Rossiare preparing to list their scattered farm in the UK for staggering $ 30 million -after living there for only one month before moving on to a bigger, more modern mansion.
Degeneres, 67, and De Rossi, 52, purchased the 43 acres property in June 2024 for $ 20 million and continued to repair.
However, just one month after moving, the duo had already decided to move forward – by clicking a much more extravagant home that boasts a very different aesthetics from the historic stone house that are now launching.
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Degenez explained that she and her husband had decided to buy a second home because it offers more space for De Rossi’s horses, which the couple flew to the UK after deciding to make the country a full -time home.
“When we decided to live here full day, we realized that Porta could not live without her horses,” she said. “We needed a home where they had a horse and pasture facility for them.”

The dwelling that the duo is now trying to sell is known as the Kitesbridge Farm and is located in the province of Tony, known as Cotswolds, which has long been home to some of the most famous stars in the country.
In the past announcement, the property was described as “an eco -pharmal house with the perfect modern rural interior”. However, degenerez and de Rossi’s advertising agent, Andrew BarnesHe noted that the farm was somewhat “tired” when the couple purchased it.
However, this did not prevent Degeneres from falling in love with the home – it is reported that it pays about $ 3.3 million because of the requested price to secure the home, after which it attracts a team of 70 workers to rush through repairs so that it is ready for it and de Rossi as soon as possible.
Still, these repairs have been confronted with several obstacles – with messages that appear that it has encountered resistance from residents in the area because of her plans for the home.
In February, it is alleged that degeneres and de Rossi were facing the objections by the neighbors about their proposed development of the monastery, with three local councilors raising fears that prolongation could “increase the risk of floods in the village” and “disturb the Roman remains”.
Meanwhile, other residents have expressed concern that the hedge fence and wire at the comedian’s home can lead to a flood if the garbage is “grabbed in the fence” and restricts the “flow through the field”.
Despite the protests, a spokesman for the Direct Council of Western Oxfordshire insisted that at that time the Roman remained over 200 yards of degeneres and De Rossi’s property and that the work was “completed to a high standard”.

“The work in the property included one -storey extension and landscaping of the garden,” the spokesman told the New York Post. “Although the extension technically violated permitted development rights, it is considered acceptable in planning conditions.
“As the works were completed to a high standard without influence on surrounding amenities or other planning problems, no more performance was needed and the case was closed.
“With regard to fears about the Roman remains of Akeman Street, the place is more than 200 meters from the Roman road and no intervention was found.”
It was later reported that the couple suffered from a number of problems in the home, including floods.
Degeneres denied flood reports at the time – and Barnes insisted that there was never a problem with the floods in the property.
However, the announcement agent noted that an extensive work was carried out in the home before the couple moved, describing their original state as “quite tired, with a rather main end”.
The magazine reports that degeneres and de Rossi initially received an 18-month time line in which contractors believe that repairs could be completed-so they introduced “about 70 workers” who were able to complete the work in about 10 weeks.
Still, degeneres and de Rossi will eventually spend only a few weeks living in the finished home before moving on to a new ultra-modern home, which is about 30 minutes away and has a smaller aesthetics than the traditional stone dwelling that he first bought.
Their second home, which has already begun to show off on social media, has landed on a hill in Oxfordshire – making it much less prone to floods – and there are walls made entirely of glass.

The apartment boasts five bedrooms and a Japanese -style yard in its center. A tirelessly landscaped yard leads to movable fields where De Rossi’s horses can graze and run.
Its incredibly modern design is in complete contrast to the traditional country house that is now on the market. This dwelling dates from the 1700s and offers six bedrooms, as well as a party party with its own pub – Ideal for anyone who has a passion for fun who wants to host friends away from prying eyes.
The farmhouse is proud of both a swimming pool and gym, both are located in another property building.
Degeneres initially revealed his plans to split with Kitesbridge Farm earlier this month when she appeared at an event in a nearby Chelton, during which she opened to the British TV operator Richard Bacon For the reasons behind her move to the UK
During this chat, she confirmed for the first time that she and De Rossi decided to move to England full -time after the president Donald Trump He won the election, explaining that they initially planned to use their British home in just a few months outside the year.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up in many texts from our friends with crying emoji, and I was like,” He came in, “she explained. “And we are like,” We stay here. “
Then Degeneres announced his plans to sell his farm by saying to the audience in the theater of everyman: “We decided we need another house and now we are selling this house.
“So, if anyone wants a house, it’s a beautiful stone country house. To clarify, I don’t sell the new one now we live. I’m selling the old stone farm.”
