Ellen & Portia Are Reportedly Snooping Around Australia For A New House

There’s nothing like a story about Hollywood elites poking around regional areas of Australia looking for potential real estate opportunities to drive the punters wild. Feels like every couple of months we hear about some celeb skulking around a Byron Bay real estate agent looking to buy some vast mansion to visit once every ten years.

Domain is reporting today that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are looking to buy in the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Real estate agent Greg O’Shea says he’s been in contact with the couple about a particular bloody large property:

Woman’s Day published an article recently saying Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are planning on moving to Australia. Now, I know that Portia is from that area (she was born in Horsham and grew up in Geelong) so I decided to get in touch with them. Their manager got back to me saying they are interested in the property, and that when they come to Australia, they want a private tour of it. I’ve been told around February or March.

The couple currently live in Los Angeles.

Because I want to torture you with the gory details, the property sits on 20 acres, and features “five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, three garages and a theatre room.” Here it is:
The price range is about $5.8 million, in case you were planning to swoop in and pick it up before Ellen does. I assume all of our readers have nearly six million lying around. Check your piggy bank.
If DeRossi was a true patriot, she wouldn’t just quietly buy some property down here. She’d invite us all round for a dip in that pool.
