Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are selling their Cotswolds farmhouse after less than a year in the UK.
The couple moved into the stone farmhouse, originally planned as a part-time home, in early November 2024, in the same week as the US Election.
They soon decided to stay permanently, as DeGeneres revealed at an event in Cheltenham earlier this week.
She told broadcaster Richard Bacon that she and her wife had planned to spend three or four months a year in the UK and bought Kitesbridge Farm to live in for £15 million.
On hearing the result of the US Election, DeGeneres declared: “We’re staying here”. They then snapped up their current home: an award-winning minimalist house in 100 acres.
The more traditional Kitesbridge Farm is now for sale for £22.5 million through UK Sotheby's International Realty.
Harley Neuman, an LA-based business manager who serves on the board of the Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund, is the registered owner of the property.
Now the property is for sale after being “reimagined over the past year to an exceptional standard”, according to to the listing.
Kitesbridge Farm has a main six-bedroom farmhouse and 43 acres of land. The farmhouse is set around a central courtyard, with most of the living spaces found on the ground floor.
Showstopper spaces on this level are the vast kitchen-dining room and a main bedroom with two dressing rooms and French doors that lead to a private garden.
There's a one-bedroom guest cottage, converted granary building with heated five-car garage and a party barn with its own pub.
An indoor swimming pool, gym and separate helicopter shed are among other suitably glamorous features although the agent's listing suggests buyers might convert this into an indoor padel court or studio.
It is moments from Astall village in Oxfordshire and within easy reach of Estelle Manor country club, Soho Farmhouse and Jeremy Clarkson's pub The Farmer's Dog.
In late November last year, Storm Bert threatened to give DeGeneres and de Rossi a frosty welcome with days of snow, torrential rain and strong winds. The UK saw its wettest day for four years and there was flooding in every region.
On Instagram in December, DeGeneres reassured fans that the couple's "UK farmhouse did NOT flood" and that they were looking forward to their first snowy Christmas."
DeGeneres and de Rossi’s full-time move from the US to the UK was revealed last year when they put their home in Montecito, California, up for sale. DeGeneres has since said that life "is just better" in the UK.
