Ellen DeGeneres’ Santa Barbara villa brings a bit of Tuscany to California

Talk show host and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres is serious about real estate. DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, have bought and sold a number of properties. And now they’ve put this $45 million villa, which sits on a 16.88 acre lot, on the market.

“The surrounding gardens and olive trees are almost as wonderful as the interior,” DeGeneres said. “The house truly feels like it was built out of the landscape, rather than plopped on a plot. It feels ancient, like it’s been there forever. Like that hill was never without the house. This is a home that honors nature, and I love that.”
