DeGeneres and de Rossi reportedly moved to England in November 2024
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s home in Montecito has sold for over its asking price.
The couple placed their home on the market through Riskin Partners Estate Group of Village Properties/Forbes Global Properties, and began receiving offers within days of placing it for sale.
According to People, the home received “multiple offers within two days of hitting the market,” and eventually sold for $5.2 million, more than its $4.9 million asking price.
Originally built in 1954, the 1,691-square-foot home was remodeled in 2012. The couple purchased the home in 2021 for $2.9 million, according to Architectural Digest.
The big sale comes just a few months after it was revealed DeGeneres and de Rossi packed up their belongings and moved to England in November 2024, following the election of President Donald Trump. They sold their other multimillion-dollar home in Montecito in August 2024.
“Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October,” a source told People at the time. “She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after.”
Located near Butterfly Beach on a private lane, the home consists of two bedrooms and two bathrooms and fully embraces the concept of indoor/outdoor living.
Hidden behind mahogany gates is the home’s front yard. The front of the home features a stone courtyard with a fountain and lush green plants lining not only the front door, but also the perimeter of the house.
Large windows also line the house, giving anyone standing in the courtyard a peek at whatever is going on inside.
