Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi Buy Countryside Home in England

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have expanded their real estate portfolio with a new property in the Cotswolds, England. Known for their love of design and architecture, the couple reportedly purchased the $18 million countryside estate after selling several high-end California homes, including a $29.9 million Montecito property.

The Cotswolds, famous for its natural beauty and historic charm, offers the privacy and peace the couple seeks in their post-show life. Reports indicate they’ve begun renovating the home while preserving its historic character—typical of their style, blending modern comfort with rustic elegance.

While no formal complaints have been made, some celebrity renovations in the area have sparked community concerns about construction disruptions. Ellen and Portia are reportedly navigating local planning laws carefully.

Since leaving The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022, the couple has aimed for a quieter lifestyle, focusing on design, travel, and personal well-being. Their move reflects a broader trend among celebrities seeking serene European retreats.

Though driven partly by political climate and lifestyle shifts, the purchase appears to be a thoughtful continuation of their longtime passion for real estate, design, and peaceful living.
