Inside Ellen DeGeneres’ Stunning Cotswolds Retreat – 30+ Exclusive Photos

Now calling England’s picturesque Cotswolds home, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have swapped the glitz of Hollywood for tranquil fields and sunlit barns, embracing a quieter life in the countryside.

After leaving American television behind in 2024, following the end of DeGeneres’ iconic talk show, the couple made a bold move across the Atlantic. They settled in the Cotswolds, a region celebrated for its rolling hills, charming stone villages, and serene beauty.

A New Chapter in Property

Known for their lucrative property-flipping ventures in California, DeGeneres and de Rossi quickly brought their expertise to their new home. Within months of arriving, they acquired two stunning estates in the area.

Their first purchase, Kitesbridge Farm, spanned 43 acres and cost approximately $20 million in spring 2024. True to form, they fully renovated the property before listing it for sale. By 2025, the revamped estate hit the market for £22.5 million—about $30 million—through U.K. Sotheby’s International Realty. However, the couple soon realized they needed more space for their lifestyle.

“When we chose to make this our home, we knew Portia’s horses were non-negotiable,” DeGeneres shared via Sotheby’s. “We needed a property with proper horse facilities and open pastures.”

This led them to their current home—a sleek, modern farmhouse with glass walls, perfectly suited for de Rossi’s horses, which were relocated from the U.S.

Embracing the Countryside

“It’s breathtaking,” DeGeneres said of their new surroundings. “The villages, the architecture, the simplicity—it’s a kind of beauty we’re not used to. Life here feels refreshingly uncomplicated.”

Through social media, DeGeneres has shared glimpses of their new life, showcasing farm animals and moments from their peaceful rural routine.

Set against the Cotswolds’ timeless villages and rolling hills, their estate is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle rooted in nature and tranquility. The property boasts vast pastures, tidy rows of trees, and expansive views that stretch across the English countryside.

A Working Farm

Meadows flow into quiet woodlands, with winding paths linking the estate’s working areas to its serene corners. The couple’s daily life now revolves around the farm’s rhythm—tending animals, mowing fields, and strolling the land with their dogs.

DeGeneres and de Rossi have fully embraced rural living, welcoming chickens, sheep, and other livestock into their world. Their chickens, with vibrant feathers and bold personalities, roam a custom-built coop and often perch on DeGeneres’ lap during morning checks.

The sheep graze freely across the pastures, each animal settling into its role on the estate, much like the couple themselves. Whether feeding the flock or pausing to enjoy their company, DeGeneres seems at ease in these unhurried moments.

A Modern Rustic Barn

A stylish barn on the property blends rustic charm with modern flair, housing the couple’s horses in spacious, airy stalls. Beyond the stables, a cozy seating area with worn leather chairs, vintage trunks, and soft blankets creates a warm, inviting space.

Inside the Farmhouse

Inside the farmhouse, the vibe shifts from rustic to refined, yet remains welcoming. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interior with light, offering sweeping views of the countryside and a minimalist Japanese-style courtyard.

The open-plan design is spacious yet intentional. A large glass table, adorned with books, sculptures, and candles, serves as a centerpiece. A dining table for eight balances practicality and elegance, surrounded by neutral-toned chairs that echo the home’s earthy palette.

In the living area, a plush beige sofa anchors a cozy setup, joined by soft armchairs and low tables. Patterned rugs add warmth to polished concrete floors, defining spaces without sacrificing comfort. Dog toys and pet beds scattered about reveal the home’s lively, lived-in spirit, with the couple’s dogs roaming freely.

Exposed wooden beams add texture to the ceiling, complementing the sleek furniture. The space feels sophisticated yet vibrant—a testament to DeGeneres and de Rossi’s knack for blending style with soul.

A New Way of Life

Their Cotswolds haven is more than a beautiful property—it’s a reflection of a new chapter. What began as a bold move has blossomed into a grounded, nature-centered life, filled with animals, open spaces, and a peace far removed from Hollywood’s glare.
