Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have been living the quiet life in the English countryside since relocating last year.
The former talk show host and the Arrested Development actress, who wed in 2008, have been slowly selling off their personal homes in the US after deciding to base themselves permanently in the UK.
Earlier this year, Ellen sold off the final home in her personal collection – a bungalow-style beach house property in Montecito.
But throughout the years, Ellen and Portia have bought multiple houses as projects rather than residences, with the intention of 'flipping' and then re-listing on the market.
And last summer, one of her previous 'flip' projects sold for a jaw-dropping amount.

One house that Ellen previously boasted in her seriously impressive portfolio of real estate was an enormous coastal mansion in Southern California.
Elle and Portia parted with a cool $70 million for the Tuscan-style farmhouse property in 2022 and its neighbouring land.
The mansion itself was $41.7 million, and the 6.6 acres of plot – which was mostly vacant – was an additional $28.2 million.
The additional plot of land offered them sprawling lawns just next door to their property, and it also had a lake and plenty of surrounding trees for privacy. The extra land also offered residents a private pathway that led down to the beachfront.
Combined with the mansion, the total area was 10 acres of private land right on the cliff edge, offering the most incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.

Inside, specifications also included a home theater, a wine cellar and a rustic kitchen with sky-high ceilings and Tuscan wooden beams. There is also a guest house on site.
The property was sold for an eye-watering $96 million last year to Robert Friedland, a mining tycoon said to boast a net worth of more than $3 billion.
Given that Ellen and Portia bought the property for $70 million two years previously, they made a hefty profit in return.

After deciding to move to the UK, Ellen sold off the majority of her homes that were on her roster.
In addition to selling their Montecito bungalow earlier this year, they have sold others, including another Montecito-based home, which was their main residence, in 2017 for $33m.

They also had a house in Bel-Air that came with an interesting story in their portfolio. Though they didn't live in the Bel-Air home, it was one of their passion projects.

Selling the house hasn't been straightforward, however. Ellen and Portia originally listed the house back in 2022 for $29 million. Eighteen months later, they put it back on the market at a higher price of $33.9 million.
