Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly listed one of her last remaining properties in the US following her permanent move to the UK four months ago.
The former TV star, 67, and her wife Portia de Rossi made the decision to relocate to the other side of the pond after her career was tarnished by accusations about toxic behavior on her now defunct talk show.
And it seems the couple really do have no plans to move back Stateside as they’re now trying to sell their two-bedroom, two-bathroom Montecito home and have listed the California abode for $5 million.
According to Realtor.com, Ellen and Portia put the property on the market on the evening of March 10, just over four years after they purchased it for $2.9 million.
The stunning bungalow boasts 1,691 square feet of space and according to the listing, the home’s private primary suite boasts its ‘own patio, spa-like bath, and generous closet space.’
Images of the property show a spacious, yet simple, kitchen which features wooden cupboards throughout as well as solid grey worktops and built in appliances and huge windows that look out onto the garden.

The bedroom also provides an exit to the outdoor space thanks to huge sliding patio doors and ensures the property gets plenty of natural light.
According to the publication, the listing states: ‘A sound fence ensures privacy and serenity, while the spacious backyard offers room for a pool or guest house all within moments of the beach, Coral Casino, and Lower Village.’
Ellen and Portia’s decision to sell up comes less than two months after they put another one of their Montecito homes up for sale.
Back in January, the pair relisted a five-bedroom, 6.5-bathroom property for $29.9 million.
Across the pond, Ellen and Portia are residing in an $18 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds in south west England, but that hasn’t been exactly smooth sailing for the couple.
Last month, MailOnline exclusively revealed that they were already eyeing up a new rural retreat after they found their property surrounded by floodwater after torrential rain lashed the valley it is set in for weeks on end.
Ellen herself was keen to stress that the property itself wasn’t flooded, but the surrounding fields were submerged in water after prolonged rain prompted a nearby river to burst its banks.
Further irritations ensued in the form of a vexing planning issue between Ellen, Portia, and their new neighbors.

According to locals, the Hollywood couple have had enough and were considering abandoning their Cotswolds farmhouse base – at least on a temporary basis and relaunching their country life from a property that’s closer to offering the kind of Californian comfort they are used to.
One source living locally told MailOnline: ‘Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into.
‘First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property.’
They continued: ‘So the upshot seems to have been that they started to have a look around and then this property came up.
‘They looked at it several times. And they liked it more each time they looked.
‘So it does look like it’s happening. They’ve been seen around there several times in recent weeks and have even had interactions with neighbors.’
