Ellen DeGeneres Lists Cotswolds Farmhouse for $30M Amid Countryside Upgrade
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have officially put their 43-acre Cotswolds estate on the market for $30 million, after snapping up a grander property nearby to accommodate a growing equestrian collection. Maya Rivers here, weaving humble verse into celebrity real estate news, and yes, even a farmhouse sale can become a lyrical affair.
Ah, the rustic enchantment meets celebrity desire, such poetic coincidence playing out in the rolling hills of Oxfordshire. Kitesbridge Farm, originally built in the 1700s, opened its gates last year to the Emmy-winning comedian and her actress spouse. With six bedrooms in the main house, a guest cottage offering two more sleeping chambers, a pub-style barn, an indoor heated pool, and a gym, the duo transformed the historic property into a modern pastoral retreat in record time.
Reports from The Wall Street Journal reveal that Ellen and Portia paid around $20 million for this 16,600-square-foot farmhouse in 2024. By commissioning some seventy craftsmen, they compressed a planned twelve- to eighteen-month renovation into a mere five months, layering sleek design atop rustic beams. Their remodel included bespoke cabinetry, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, and updated stonework that blends centuries-old charm with contemporary comfort.
Yet the couple’s equine affection soon outgrew Kitesbridge Farm’s paddocks. Portia’s horses were flown in from California, and it became clear that bigger, more purpose-built stables were needed. The Wall Street Journal confirms that the pair have now acquired a larger estate in the same region, featuring expanded equestrian facilities and additional acreage.
With Kitesbridge Farm now the priciest listing in the Cotswolds, potential buyers can expect sweeping pasture views, a sunlit courtyard wrapping around the main house, and the lure of celebrity ownership. Ellen and Portia have earned a reputation for flipping properties with flair, and this sale cements their cross-Atlantic real estate prowess.
From Malibu to the English countryside, these two have shown that even a centuries-old farmhouse can become a canvas for modern luxury living. As prospective purchasers make their offers, one can only wonder what poetic chapter will follow in the life of Kitesbridge Farm.
And so, the saga of celebrity renovation drifts into the gentle Cotswold breeze, leaving us eager for the next verse.
