    Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi List Their English Countryside Estate for $30 Million

    Looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are picking up right where they left off in the U.S.—only now, they’re flipping multimillion-dollar estates in the Cotswolds instead of Montecito. Just months after snapping up a dreamy 43-acre estate in England’s celeb-loved countryside, the couple is putting it back on the market for a cool $30 million with Andrew Barnes of United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty. That’s right: they bought it, overhauled it, lived in it for about a month, and now they’re moving on.

    The rural property, tucked down a long private driveway and known as Kitesbridge Farm, blends 18th-century charm with sleek, modern updates. Think rustic stone walls and soaring ceilings alongside sculptural forms and tons of natural light, all wrapped around a central courtyard.

    The secluded stone farmhouse was given a total overhaul in just 10 weeks.

    The main house has six bedrooms, including a luxe primary suite with marble finishes, two dressing rooms, and French doors that open to a private garden. There’s also a giant eat-in kitchen, a handful of grand yet cozy sitting rooms, and a separate guest cottage for friends, staff, or whoever’s lucky enough to get an invite.

    Atop the five-car heated garage, a massive room has been converted into a casual entertainment space complete with its own bar. There’s also an indoor pool, a full gym, a kitchen garden, and even a helicopter shed among the pastoral, naturalistic landscape.

    Spacious reception rooms open to the naturalistic gardens.

    The former talk show host and her actress wife bought the estate last June for about $20 million, reportedly paying more than $3 million above the asking price. Skilled and serial renovators, they wasted no time making it their own—bringing in 70 workers and finishing a soup-to-nuts renovation in just 10 weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    Why sell so soon after such a rapid and Herculean effort? According to DeGeneres, it all came down to horses. The couple decided to relocate to the U.K. after the 2024 election and quickly realized their four-legged family members needed more space than Kitesbridge Farm. “When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn’t live without her horses,” DeGeneres told the newspaper. “We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.”

    So, they upgraded. Their new place—just 30 minutes away—is a sprawling, ultramodern compound in Oxfordshire, with Japanese-inspired landscaping and all the space their herd could want. It’s a major departure from the cozy English farmhouse vibe of Kitesbridge, but it checks all their boxes.

    DeGeneres recently spilled the beans at a speaking event in Cheltenham with the British broadcaster Richard Bacon, telling the crowd: “We decided we needed a different house, and now we’re selling that house. If anyone wants a beautiful stone farmhouse—it’s available!”

    ‘The A-Team’ Producer’s Former SoCal Estate Lists for $20 Million

    Almost 25 years after he died from melanoma at age 69, Stephen J. Cannell is still making headlines. The Laguna Beach estate of the prolific TV writer, director, and producer has popped up for sale, with an asking price of $20 million. Built in 1947 and recently remodeled, the residence sits amid a secluded enclave within the Woods Cove neighborhood, with the listing held by Shauna and Leita Covington of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

    A Los Angeles native, Cannell worked at his family’s interior design business before selling his first script for It Takes a Thief to Universal Studios in the late 1960s. Despite suffering from severe dyslexia, he went on to write for crime shows such as Columbo and Ironside, and served as a story editor for Adam-12. Ultimately, as head of his own studio, he both created and co-created some of the small screen’s most beloved shows of all time, including The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, Wiseguy, 21 Jump Street, Silk Stalkings, The Commish, and The Rockford Files, the latter of which won an Emmy in 1978.

    Though he also penned several bestselling mystery novels, he might be best remembered for his iconic insignia after the ending credits of his TV shows: a short sequence of a pipe-smoking Cannell typing feverishly, then ripping a page from his typewriter and tossing it in the air.

    The legendary writer, director, and producer worked on some of TV’s most iconic shows from this ocean-view office.

    RELATED: A Rare Coastal Compound in SoCal’s Orange County Just Hit the Market for $50 Million

    Fully walled and gated with a street-side two-car garage, the four-bedroom, five-bath property is perched high atop a nearly quarter-acre bluff overlooking the rugged Orange County coastline, with a landscaped courtyard out front and private steps in the back leading down to a peninsula jutting into the Pacific Ocean. A Dutch door opens into the stucco and brick-accented structure, which features roughly 4,700 square feet of space and numerous French doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor feel.

    Among the highlights is an entry foyer sporting a sky-lit stairwell. From there, a spacious coffer-ceilinged great room holds a living room with a two-way fireplace that connects on the other side to a bookshelf-lined office where Cannell worked on many of his hit shows. There’s also a family room, plus a dining room that flows via a butler’s pantry to an eat-in kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, a quartz-topped island, Thermador appliances, a wine cooler, a Shaws farmhouse sink, and a bay-windowed breakfast nook flanked by a large white brick fireplace.

A secondary kitchen, a fireside living room, and a mirrored fitness area can be found on the lower level, which spills out to a backyard showcased by an in-ground spa, a barbecue station, and a grassy sitting area bolstered by a soaring pole donning the American flag.

    In addition to the Laguna Beach home, Cannell’s three children still maintain his former primary residence in Pasadena. His eighth-grade sweetheart and wife of 46 years, Marcia, passed away last year.

    Mark Zuckerberg Quietly Added Another 1,000 Acres to His $300 Million Compound in Hawaii

    Mark Zuckerberg’s massive estate on the Hawaiian island of Kauai just got even bigger, pushing his real estate portfolio—now estimated at over $300 million—into truly billionaire territory.

    The Meta CEO quietly picked up another 962 acres of ranchland earlier this year, bringing his total holdings on the island to more than 2,300 acres. According to Wired, which obtained new planning documents and spoke with people close to the deal, the purchase was valued at more than $65 million and was made through a Hawaiian-sounding LLC. It’s Zuckerberg’s largest land buy yet and adds fuel to growing local concerns about the billionaire’s outsized presence on the island.

    Zuckerberg first started snapping up property in 2014, when he dropped around $100 million for 700 acres near the sleepy town of Kilauea. Since then, the estate—now called Koʻolau Ranch—has ballooned into one of the most elaborate private compounds in the country. Already, there are two sprawling mansions, a gym, a tennis court, several guesthouses and treehouses, a water system, and even a tunnel leading to an underground shelter reportedly the size of a professional basketball court and equipped with blast-resistant doors and an escape hatch.

    RELATED: A Secret Buyer Is Snapping up a Series of Million-Dollar Properties in Palm Beach

    The latest expansion isn’t just about creating an increased buffer of land for the Facebook tycoon and his family, and when one man’s private estate costs more than it does to run an entire Hawaiian island for a year, people are bound to ask, “What exactly is he building out there?” According to new permits, he wants to build three more structures on the property, ranging from 7,800 to 11,000 square feet—10 times the size of an average home in Hawaii. Two of the planned buildings are motel-like dorms packed with 16 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms, plus a 1,300-square-foot shared lanai. They’re projected to cost between $3.5 and $4 million apiece, and, like the rest of the compound, the new buildings will come equipped with a high-level security apparatus that includes cameras, keypad locks, and motion detectors throughout. Zuckerberg’s team describes them as “short-term guest accommodations” for family, friends, and staff.

    Zuckerberg’s Kauai ranch already has two mansions, several guest houses, a tennis court, and an underground shelter.

    Google Earth

    All this development, however, is raising some serious questions. Part of Zuckerberg’s land sits atop a known burial site. One local, Julian Ako, spent months negotiating with the estate’s team just to access and register his ancestors’ graves; his great-grandmother and her brother are buried there. The state later confirmed there’s a “high probability” of more remains nearby.

    Zuckerberg’s team and representative Brandi Hoffine Barr say the existing burial plot is fenced off and maintained. They also say workers are required to report any discoveries of ancestral bones. Still, many of the workers on the ranch have signed NDAs, making it unlikely they’d speak out even if they did find something.

    Zuck’s amassing of land comes as other billionaires—Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey, among them—continue to acquire huge parcels of land across the Hawaiian Islands. For locals, that trend is driving up prices and reshaping the islands in ways that feel irreversible. “Eventually Hawaii isn’t going to look like Hawaii anymore—it’s going to be a resort community,” Puali‘i Rossi, a professor of Native Hawaiian studies, told Wired.

    Zuckerberg, meanwhile, says he and his wife Priscilla Chan are focused on conservation, ranching, and farming, scrapping previous plans for 80 luxury homes on the site. Nonetheless, Zuckerberg’s total investment now exceeds $300 million, likely surpassing the $311 million annual operating budget for the entire island of Kauai.

    A Top Interior Designer Is Selling His Chic Hamptons Getaway for $5 Million

    A celebrated New York City-based interior designer is parting ways with the historic Hamptons getaway he reverently restored to honor its late 19th-century charms.

    Neal Beckstedt, whose clients include the fashion designer Derek Lam, has owned the rustic cottage in the heart of Sag Harbor for about a decade. Over that time, he modernized and expanded the modest structure while retaining many of its original details and all of its unique character. Averitt Buttry and Noble Black at Douglas Elliman hold the $5 million listing.

    The kitchen is fully updated, but carries on the rustic aesthetic of the circa 1890s cottage.

    Lena Yaremenko

    “This is a rare chance to own a designer’s personal Hamptons retreat—an intimate, impeccably curated home that’s as livable as it is refined,” Black told Robb Report. “Beckstedt’s signature warmth and modern sensibility shine throughout. It’s a masterclass in timeless design.”

    When possible, Beckstedt restored the home’s original structure, including window frames and glass, antique ceiling beams, and wide-plank wood floors. When elements couldn’t be kept in place, the team sourced exact material matches and dutifully recreated them, like for the hand-chopped cedar shake roof and plank cedar siding. Other materials like acid-washed marble floors and brass plumbing fixtures were selected to blend in with the abode’s original aesthetic.

    Knotty pine walls wrap around the main-floor great room, which includes separate seating and dining areas. Off to one side, a lounge area swathed in vintage French linen can alternatively serve as a study or even an extra bedroom. The kitchen is completely updated yet feels completely of a piece with the rest of the historic home. An AGA stove is the centerpiece of the space, which also incorporates a custom zinc sink, pine cabinetry, and maple wood countertops. A breakfast room and a distinct beverage area complete the kitchen suite.

    A heated gunite pool anchors the backyard, which includes several discrete lounge areas.

    Lena Yaremenko

    Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits under a vaulted ceiling and overlooks the back lawn, one of Beckstedt’s favorite features, while the primary bath is done up with green-glazed beadboard paneling and a hand-hammered copper alloy bathtub. Another bedroom and full bath round out the indoor offerings.

    Several distinct areas have been carved out among the grounds’ 8,000 square feet of exterior space. You can entertain friends on the dining terrace, go for a dip in the heated gunite pool, or kick back in the pergola-shaded sitting area. Complete privacy is provided by the chic, mature landscaping, which includes clipped boxwoods, aromatic roses, stately magnolia trees, and scores of other flora.

    “Honestly, I’ll miss everything,” Beckstedt said in an email. “But I’m also excited about the next chapter.”

    Bette Davis’s Former Oceanfront Estate in Maine Hits the Market for $15 Million

    After she fell in love with fellow actor Gary Merrill on the set of All Above Eve and went on to marry him in the early 1950s, Bette Davis moved to a farmhouse in the coastal New England town of Cape Elizabeth, along Casco Bay on the southern coast of Maine, where they raised their adopted twins, Margot and Michael.

    No native to the Pine Tree State, the legendary two-time Oscar winner, who was born in the nearby Massachusetts town of Lowell and died in 1989 at age 81, was the first female lifeguard at Ogunquit Beach when she was 18 years old and performed in local venues throughout the years. She also filmed scenes for one of her final movies, The Whales of August, in the 1980s on Cliff Island.

    The ocean-view family room comes with a bar and wood-burning stone fireplace.

    Playfully dubbed Witch Way by Davis, the eight-acre oceanfront spread on Zeb Cove Road that the pair called home for around a decade until their divorce in 1960 is now up for grabs at $15 million. The listing, which includes a 7,600-square-foot main residence and a detached 2,000-square-foot carriage house built on the site in 2002, plus 1,200 feet of ocean frontage, is shared by Bill Gaynor and Sam Michaud of Legacy Properties Sotheby’s International Realty.

    “I have lots of good memories about our time at Witch Way, a beautiful property and a wonderful family home, right on the ocean,” Boston lawyer Michael Merrill, the couple’s son, told Portland Monthly magazine in a 2014 article, adding there were “two coves, a large front lawn, a barn, an enclosed area for goats and other farm animals and horses, vegetable gardens, berry bushes and a pond.

    A cozy fireside study is clad in cherry wood.

    Peter G. Morneau

    “Dad also had lobster traps in the coves, and there was a sandy beach very close by within walking distance,” he continued. “Dad did have a hockey team, Merrill’s Marauders, which played ‘pick up’ hockey against other groups of players on the pond. I was too young at the time to be involved in the hockey games. But we had a dinghy in the pond which I rowed around on.”

    Last sold in 2016 for nearly $3.8 million, with the carriage house transferred in a separate off-market deal for $1.45 million, the modern residence that today stands in place of Davis’s onetime digs is introduced via a double-height foyer featuring a floating staircase. An arched doorway leads to a bar-equipped family room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace, with a mud room tucked off to the side.

    A cupola atop the house contains a reading room.

    Among the other highlights are formal living and dining rooms, a cherry-paneled study with a full bath, and a curvaceous kitchen outfitted with a large center island, modern appliances, a sizable pantry, and a fireside breakfast nook. Upstairs, five bedrooms include a spacious primary suite sporting a sitting area, a balcony, a walk-in closet, and a bath with a freestanding soaking tub, while a cozy octagon-shaped reading room holds court in the top-floor cupola.

    Described in the marketing materials as having a “charming English countryside setting,” the picturesque grounds include covered porches and a classic bluestone terrace ideal for alfresco lounging and entertaining, as well as the aforementioned pond and a secluded rocky beach.

    ‘The Sound of Music’ Composer Richard Rodgers Was the Original Owner of This $15 Million Connecticut Estate

    The owners of Richard Rodgers’s former estate are saying “So Long, Farewell” to the Fairfield, Connecticut, abode. The legendary composer behind a slew of enduring Broadway musicals that include The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, and Carousel lived there from 1965 until his death in 1979, and during his tenure he was known to host other show business luminaries like Leonard Bernstein and Ethel Merman. 

    The current owners updated the residence quite a bit, bulking up the main house and expanding the property to almost 40 acres in total. Leslie Razook and Cyd Hamer at William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty hold the $15 million listing.

    A Moroccan bar and lounge is one of the hidden amenities in the main home.

    Alan Barry

    The main residence, a collection of mansard-roofed pavilions, was originally a midcentury-modern delight but has been altered to become more squarely modern with seven bedrooms and seven baths in more than 9,000 square feet. A Sputnik-style chandelier and a white-veined black marble fireplace jazz up the former living room, while the formal dining room is wrapped in mirror-like black lacquer, and two blue refrigerators brighten up the grayscale chef’s kitchen. In the primary suite, a private study has a funky, Tetris-like geometric patterned ceiling, and the bathroom is swathed in printed black-and-white wallpaper. Additional indoor amenities include a library and a fireside den, as well as a hidden theater and a Moroccan bar and lounge.

    The pool is accompanied by a barn-style pool house that contains a full kitchen and bathroom, plus a gym on the second floor. And on the other side of the property sits a paddle tennis court that is heated for wintertime play. A two-level office pavilion is found in another private garden, and an updated stone gatehouse can serve as lodging for guests or staff. Adding to its sense of privacy and connection to nature, the estate abuts a 155-acre nature preserve.

    A serene pool anchors the backyard.

    Alan Barry

    Rodgers’s onetime home is among the most expensive listings currently available in Connecticut outside of the famously spendy town of Greenwich. That’s only befitting of the former home of the composer, who was the first-ever EGOT winner and whose name graces the Broadway theater where Hamilton is currently playing. And, as a Connecticut resident, Rodgers was in good company: The playwright Noël Coward owned a stately residence nearby, which hit the market for $10.3 million earlier this year and where Rodgers was known to pop by from time to time.

    And while Fairfield perhaps isn’t as well known as Greenwich, the town is home to a number of notable abodes: in just one example, a mansion modeled on the Vanderbilt family’s Vermont farm popped up for sale a few years ago for $7 million.

    A Waterfront Compound on Washington’s San Juan Island Is Heading to Auction

    Several years after he had created the renowned Deer Valley Ski Resort in Park City, Utah, in the late 1980s, Edgar Stern Jr. commissioned noted mountain architect David Finholm to custom build an oceanfront residence on a craggy bluff high above the western shores of Washington‘s San Juan Island, near the charming coastal fishing village of Friday Harbor.

    The real estate developer, hotelier, broadcaster, and philanthropist, who passed away in 2008 at age 86, and his wife Pauline (Polly) went on to donate the property to the University of Washington. It was subsequently transferred for $3.3 million to Nevada-based banking mogul Ed Nigro and his wife, Lee, who put it back on the market in spring 2023 for almost $11 million. Now, after two years, some substantial price chops, and no takers, the Stern Estate is slated to go under the gavel next month.

    Elite Auctions is heading up the no-reserve bidding, with Lisa Turnure and Lisa Brooks of Coldwell Banker Realty holding the listing.

    A teak-floored corridor with hidden linen and china storage closets leads to the fireside dining room.

    Spread across 14 acres stretching along nearly 1,000 feet of water frontage, the wooded property is spotlighted by a five-bedroom, eight-bath main home and a detached two-bedroom, two-bath guesthouse for a combined total of roughly 12,000 square feet.

    Inside the primary dwelling, an entry foyer and a corridor with ocean views flow to a soaring great room boasting a living area anchored by a wood-burning stone fireplace and a built-in window seat. The open kitchen is outfitted with purposefully distressed ebony-hued cabinetry and a large center work island. Elsewhere is an octagon-shaped dining room, plus an office, a library, an art gallery, and a media room, while a separate wing holds the primary suite and a guest apartment with an exterior entrance.

    The spacious kitchen comes with wood floors and titanium black granite countertops.

    Ancillary structures include a glass-lined gazebo that serves as what listing materials call a “cigar building,” as well as a break room for grounds/maintenance workers and a shop building that’s currently being used as an auto/hobby space. Then there are the picturesque grounds, which are laced with meandering stone pathways, gardens, more than 1,400 trees, and a cantilevered deck ideal for spotting orcas and bald eagles.

    Several open houses will be held beginning July 27, with the auction set for Monday, Aug. 4, at 11 a.m. at the Seattle Tennis Club. Remote bidding is also available.

    A Creative Couple’s 1920s Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Lists for $4.8 Million

    David Hoffman and Jaime Kowal doled out $4 million for a century-old Los Angeles home in early 2023. The couple—he a comedic actor who stars as Doug alongside his trusty sidekick LiMu Emu in the Liberty Mutual Insurance commercials, and she a professional photographer and designer—have now decided to part ways with the Spanish Colonial Revival villa in a desirable enclave of Los Feliz, asking a dash under $4.8 million. Lauren Reichenberg, Daria Greenbaum, and Molly Kelly of Compass share the listing.

    Originally built in 1926 by Howard & Howard Architects and nestled on less than a quarter of an acre, the Normandie Avenue property was thoughtfully restored and modernized by the couple during their two-year tenure. Securely tucked away behind walls and gates, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure has five bedrooms and four baths in roughly 3,500 square feet across three sun-drenched levels rife with refinished white oak floors, coved ceilings, arched doorways, casement windows, and vintage light fixtures.

    A Batchelder fireplace anchors the living room.

    From the street, a brick walkway passes through a fountain-clad courtyard before emptying at a covered vestibule. The olive-hued front door opens into a living room anchored by a striking Batchelder fireplace. Beyond that is a kitchen outfitted with shaker-style cabinetry, an eat-in island, and top-tier appliances, as well as a dining and sitting area, a guest bedroom, and a full bath.

    Two upstairs en suite bedrooms include the primary suite, which features a tiled balcony offering up a picturesque view of the Griffith Observatory, dual walk-in closets, and a bath flaunting a marble soaking tub notched into a windowed and arched alcove. The lower level holds two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently set up as an office, plus a screening room, a den, and a sauna.

    The Terremoto-landscaped grounds are spotlighted by an inviting cedar hot tub.

    The bottom floor flows outside to the Terremoto-landscaped grounds, where tiered gardens are laced with alfresco lounging and entertaining spaces and an inviting cedar hot tub. There’s also an attached two-car garage resting behind a gated driveway out front.

    Though there’s no word on why the pair has decided to sell, their departure seems bittersweet. “For us, Normandie was a warm and magical home—one that welcomed in beautiful views of nature, the mountains, and the Griffith Observatory,” Hoffman and Kowal told Robb Report. “Through every window and door, we were greeted with glimpses of iconic scenery, all while enjoying one of the most walkable neighborhoods and a truly special community.”
