Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have sold their Montecito, California, bungalow for $5.2 million, surpassing the initial asking price of $4.995 million.
The couple purchased the two-bedroom, two-bathroom property in 2021 for $2.9 million, achieving a notable profit with this sale. The 1,691-square-foot home, located near Butterfly Beach, boasts spa-like bathrooms, an enclosed patio, and a secluded courtyard designed for privacy and relaxation.
This transaction signifies one of DeGeneres and de Rossi’s final ties to their U.S. real estate holdings, as they have recently relocated to the English countryside. In late 2024, the couple acquired an $18 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, marking a new chapter in their lives abroad.
The move follows the conclusion of DeGeneres’s long-running daytime talk show in 2022. Despite facing challenges with local planning authorities and neighbors regarding renovations to their UK property, the couple remains optimistic about their new life overseas.
