Easily our most-covered celebrity home buyers, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have once again been making real estate moves—this time off-market but no less noteworthy.
According to Siteline Santa Barbara, the couple have sold their Montecito estate for $55 million. It marks the second-largest residential deal in Santa Barbara County history. DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased the 4.3-acre spread last year for $49 million.
The property includes five structures including the 9,000 square foot main house, guesthouse, detached garage building, a poolhouse and a barn. In all, the property is said to boast 16,000 square feet of total living space.
The couple are not exactly out of the area, though. As we previously reported, DeGeneres and de Rossi re-bought the Montecito ranch they sold just three years ago earlier in May. They also spent $2.9 million on a nearby bungalow at Butterfly Beach in June.
