Farm on the Market

Former TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and former actress wife Portia de Rossi are selling their sprawling farmhouse estate in the U.K.’s Cotswolds for a hefty $30 million.

In November the tony twosome fled Montecito to set up home in the popular area beloved by celebrities and also home to Highgrove, King Charles’ picturesque country estate.

But just one year after purchasing the 43-acre property, dubbed “Kitesbridge Farm,” they have now put it up for sale, according to the Wall Street Journal.

DeGeneres, 67, and the Arrested Development actress, 52, purchased the property for $20 million last spring.

According to the official listing from Sotheby’s International Realty the property has seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms. There is also a two-bedroom guest cottage, a heated five car garage, a swimming pool, gymnasium, and a helicopter shed.
