Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi cop huge $8m+ loss on last US home
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are set for a massive loss on one of their last remaining US homes, knocking $US5.4 million ($A8.2 million) off their original asking price. The comedian, who is currently living in an $US18 million ($A28 million) farmhouse in the Cotswolds, about two hours outside of London, initially put the sprawling home on the market in May 2024 for $US33.9 million ($A53.9 million), Realtor reports. With no sign of a buyer, the house was delisted three months later and remained off the market through the end of 2024. After news of their move was made public, the couple relisted the home in January with a reduced price of $US29.99 million ($A47.8 million) — just $900,000 more than what they paid for it in 2022. But even that discount failed to attract buyers, and the residence was once again taken off the market in May. Now it's back, with a significantly reduced price of $US28.5 million ($A43.7 million), exactly half a million under the pair's purchase price. It's believed the property is one of the last remaining homes DeGeneres and de Rossi currently own in the US. 'Toxic' Ellen's final $8m insult to US exposed The couple have sold several properties over the past year since moving to the British countryside. The duo recently sold a two-bedroom in Montecito for $US5.2 million ($A8.2 million), more than $US200,000 ($A312,000) over its $US4.995 million ($A7.9 million) asking price. The property flew off the market less than two weeks after it was listed in March this year, around four months after DeGeneres and de Rossi moved to the UK. However, the success they had with that home has not translated to the Neutra property, which sat on the market for 109 days before its listing was removed. A sale would mark only the fourth time the property has changed hands since it was built in 1955 by famous Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra, having been owned by the same family for 40 years until finally being sold for the first time in 1994. That owner, who purchased the modernist home for the bargain price of just $US1.42 million, held onto the property for a further 25 years before putting it on the market in 2019, when it sold for $US20 million. Three years later, DeGeneres and de Rossi added the five-bedroom pad to their already-impressive property portfolio, paying out $US29 million for the dwelling. They have since renovated the home extensively, helping to restore Neutra's 'pioneering vision,' while also adding a host of modern-day amenities. Per the listing description, the home, which is widely known as 'The Brown House,' has plenty to offer a potential buyer, not least the architectural caché that comes from owning a Neutra design. 'Originally crafted in 1955 by the renowned Richard Neutra, [the house] stands as a quintessential architectural masterpiece nestled in the prestigious enclave of Bel Air,' the listing states. 'One of the most iconic homes to be built, it has undergone a meticulous restoration, thoughtfully revering Neutra's pioneering vision while integrating modern luxuries. A true encapsulation of living in a work of art.' The home also offers sweeping views of the Los Angeles skyline, as well as two 'state-of-the-art' kitchens and a sizeable living area. 'This is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of architectural heritage, offering a lifestyle marked by grandeur and exclusivity in one of the most coveted locations,' the listing concludes. Their struggle to find a buyer for the property has not held the couple back from investing in new real estate in the UK, where they are understood to have snapped up an $US18 million ($A28 million) farmhouse in 2024, according to People magazine. Since then, the couple — who made a second career out of flipping homes in and around California while they were living in Montecito — have been carrying out extensive renovations to the abode, which have landed them in some hot water with their neighbours. According to the Daily Mail, DeGeneres found herself 'in peril of getting on the wrong side' of a high-profile member of her new neighbourhood after she 'committed a 'technical breach'' during the build of a single-story extension at her new home. The outlet described it as a 'planning clash'. Several neighbours voiced their objections to the couple's plans. Despite the protests, a spokesperson for West Oxfordshire Direct Council insisted that the work was 'completed to a high standard,' according to the New York Post. 'The works at the property involved a single-story extension and garden landscaping,' the spokesperson said. 'Although the extension technically breached permitted development rights, it was considered acceptable in planning terms. 'As the works were completed to a high standard with no impact on surrounding amenities or other planning concerns, no further enforcement action was necessary, and the case has been closed.'

Although many believed it had been sold, it was taken off the market. It was only taken out in August 2024, and they listed it for $29.99 million earlier this year, which is less than a million dollars more than they paid for it. In May 2025, however, they took their last remaining US home off the market, according to a Realtor.

DeGeneres and Rossi first crossed paths at a Rock the Vote show in 2001. Nevertheless, it wasn't until 2004 that they finally met.

Many people are speculating about the amount; some believe it to be in the 20s, while others believe it may be as high as 60. FAQs Are Ellen and Portia actually returning to the United States? This is not confirmed. Pulling the listing indicates they are keeping options open, either waiting for a better price or planning to live stateside part-time. Could the house be resold later? The couple often relists properties when the market shifts, so another sales attempt or quiet off-market deal is still a possibility.

Ellen DeGeneres Flaunts New Transformation While Farming After Ditching The U.S. And Blonde Hair
Ellen DeGeneres has given fans a peek into her new life in England as she shared a video where she can be seen feeding chickens and gardening. The comedian also showcased her new hairstyle as she gushed about how her "dream was to become a landscape maintenance crew with a little farming on the side." Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, recently moved into their new hilltop property after flood waters surrounded their former Cotswolds home. DeGeneres shared a glimpse into her English countryside life on Wednesday, which happens to be a major shift from her talk show career. The former "Ellen DeGeneres Show" host took to Instagram to show off what her routine looks like, months after she and de Rossi ditched the US for a new life in the UK. In the clip, DeGeneres kept it casual in brown trousers and a blue hoodie as she worked with a grass trimmer while wearing a protective mask. Her wife can be heard in the background commending her on a job well done, as she also threw herself into trimming flower bushes in a field on their property, and also feeding their chickens. DeGeneres showed off her new look as she opted for natural brunette locks rather than her usual bleached blonde. "Some people have a dream of becoming a farmer. Clearly, our dream was to become a landscape maintenance crew with a little farming on the side," she wrote in the caption. DeGeneres and de Rossi have seemingly settled down well into their new home, as the legendary talk show host can be seen mowing the grass in a previous Instagram post. In the clip, DeGeneres sat on top of a yellow mower and disclosed that she'll no longer be going with her signature locks but has settled for a brunette shade. She can be seen steering the mower across a large field and got help from an individual after the machine seemingly broke down on a steep hill. The comedian wrote in the caption, "Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right." It comes after the couple said goodbye to their flood-prone £15 million Cotswolds home and relocated to a new hilltop property that cost around the same price in Oxfordshire. According to the Daily Mail, the new property is around 30 30-minute drive from their Cotswolds mansion and is said to have a "sustainable drainage system" and is not "at risk of flooding." The property is described as a minimalist single-story house with breathtaking views of the Cotswolds. It features floor-to-ceiling windows and also has its cinema, gym, steam room, and giant outdoor infinity pool. The couple had to move after floodwaters surrounded their former home due to Storm Bert. "Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into," an insider told the news outlet at the time. "First, there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property." DeGeneres has already shown off what her new property looks like in an Instagram post she shared with her 136 million followers. She posted photos of her wife admiring their new home, with one shot featuring a rainbow. Describing the "three things which make me happy" to her followers, she wrote: "My wife, a rainbow, and my wife taking a photograph of a rainbow." DeGeneres' showbiz career came to a screeching halt after her former staff accused her of fostering a toxic workplace culture on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," as well as claims of racism, sexual misconduct, and intimidation. Although there were reports that she fled the country because of Donald Trump's emergence at the November polls, a source later claimed that her relocation was to kick off her "retirement." "Make no mistake about it. This is Ellen and Portia's retirement," a source told the Daily Mail. "Neither one of them has any projects lined up." "Ellen really felt she had made her mark on the industry, but that was diminished when she was canceled over her alleged treatment of her staff," they added. "Then to have celebrities call her out one by one was so hurtful." However, another source has now shared that she wants to revive her comedy career in England. "Ellen wants to continue with her comedy work, and there is a huge scene in Britain," the source told New Idea. "Sitting back and chilling on a beach in Australia is for when she's ready to retire, and Ellen's not there yet."

Ellen DeGeneres shares video of her mowing lawn at her estate in the Cotswold
Ellen DeGeneres is settling into life in the English countryside. The former talk show host, 67, and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have called the UK their home since late last year after they fled LA for good. Following their trans-Atlantic move, the comedian and 'Arrested Development' alum, 52, set up camp in the ritzy Cotswolds neighborhood, which is a known favorite among the Hollywood elite.
