Ellen, Portia List UK Estate After Renovation

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have listed their renovated Cotswolds estate, Kitesbridge Farm, for $30 million, a year after purchasing it for $20 million. Initially intended as a vacation retreat, the couple decided to make the UK their permanent residence following Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election. After living at Kitesbridge for only a month, they found it lacked proper facilities for de Rossi’s horses and moved to a larger property nearby. Renovations at Kitesbridge were completed in under five months with the help of 70 workers. While local objections cited flooding and heritage concerns, authorities approved the renovations, and DeGeneres denied any flooding problems. The quick sale continues their pattern of high-profile real estate transactions.
