\n\tLooks like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are picking up right where they left off in the U.S.\u2014only now, they\u2019re flipping multimillion-dollar estates in the Cotswolds<\/a> instead of Montecito. Just months after snapping up a dreamy 43-acre estate in England\u2019s celeb-loved countryside, the couple is putting it back on the market for a cool\u00a0$30 million<\/a>\u00a0with Andrew Barnes of United Kingdom<\/a> Sotheby\u2019s International Realty. That\u2019s right: they bought it, overhauled it, lived in it for about a month, and now they\u2019re moving on.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rural property, tucked down a long private driveway and known as Kitesbridge Farm, blends 18th-century charm with sleek, modern updates. Think rustic stone walls and soaring ceilings alongside sculptural forms and tons of natural light, all wrapped around a central courtyard.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tThe secluded stone farmhouse was given a total overhaul in just 10 weeks.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main house has six bedrooms, including a luxe primary suite with marble finishes, two dressing rooms, and French doors that open to a private garden. There\u2019s also a giant eat-in kitchen, a handful of grand yet cozy sitting rooms, and a separate guest cottage for friends, staff, or whoever\u2019s lucky enough to get an invite.<\/p>\n

\n\tAtop the five-car heated garage, a massive room has been converted into a casual entertainment space complete with its own bar. There\u2019s also an indoor pool, a full gym, a kitchen garden, and even a helicopter shed among the pastoral, naturalistic landscape.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe former talk show host and her actress wife bought the estate last June for about $20 million, reportedly paying more than $3 million above the asking price. Skilled and serial renovators, they wasted no time making it their own\u2014bringing in 70 workers and finishing a soup-to-nuts renovation in just 10 weeks,\u00a0The Wall Street Journal\u00a0reported. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhy sell so soon after such a rapid and Herculean effort? According to DeGeneres, it all came down to horses. The couple decided to relocate to the U.K. after the 2024 election and quickly realized their four-legged family members needed more space than\u00a0Kitesbridge Farm. \u201cWhen we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn\u2019t live without her horses,\u201d DeGeneres told the newspaper. \u201cWe needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSo, they upgraded. Their new place\u2014just 30 minutes away\u2014is a sprawling, ultramodern compound in Oxfordshire, with Japanese-inspired landscaping and all the space their herd could want. It\u2019s a major departure from the cozy English farmhouse vibe of Kitesbridge, but it checks all their boxes.<\/p>\n

\n\tDeGeneres recently spilled the beans at a speaking event in Cheltenham with the British broadcaster Richard Bacon, telling the crowd: \u201cWe decided we needed a different house, and now we\u2019re selling that house. If anyone wants a beautiful stone farmhouse\u2014it\u2019s available!\u201d <\/p>\n
