If you want to buy a celebrity mansion, this offer is for you.
American television host Ellen DeGeneres is ready to sell one of her homes.
Ellen’s Santa Barbara area mansion is now up for sale for $45 million.
According to Sotheby's International Realty, who are listing the property, DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi don't have the time to use the mansion.
The couple has bought and flipped several high-priced homes in Southern California, but this one is in Montecito, a neighboring town of Santa Barbara.
The house, which was also featured in DeGeneres' 2015 book "Home" is known as "The Villa".
The villa was designed in the 1930s by architect Wallace Frost.
Frost originally built this two-story home for himself. After spending time in Italy, he wanted to recreate the classical style of a 17th-century Italian villa.
Since purchasing the property in 2012, DeGeneres and de Rossi have bought two adjacent properties to make this a 16.88-acre estate.
According to Sotheby's listing agent Suzanne Perkins, the house has been completely modernized, adding a sunken tennis court, pool, and indoor-outdoor entertaining pavilion.
The amazing pictures of the mansion are out. Have a look!
