Ellen DeGeneres has put her Hollywood Hills compound on the market at $12.95 million. The talk-show host and stand-up comic also listed two adjacent homes she owns at close to $2 million each.
A third adjacent property, offered by another seller, is listed at nearly $3 million.
The parcels, totaling about three acres, could be made into the largest compound in the Hollywood Hills if purchased together, according to listing agent Barry Sloane of Sotheby's International Realty, Beverly Hills.
The original 5,000-square-foot home is on more than two acres of rolling lawns, grasses and trails. The house was built in the 1930s but was refurbished by a former owner. DeGeneres spent two more years turning it into what Sloane describes as "a stylish, relaxed contemporary" with two bedrooms and a screening room.
The master bedroom suite is on two levels and includes a main room with a screened-in porch and reading area, a TV that drops from the ceiling at the push of a button and a downstairs bathroom with a walk-in closet, spa tub, steam shower and outdoor meditation area with a water feature.
A smaller, second bedroom suite is in a different wing of the house.
The compound has a guesthouse with a gym, a cabin, a koi pond and a pool. There also is a house, with a screened-in porch, that serves as a media and game room.
The two adjacent homes owned by DeGeneres are contemporary in style with walls of glass. Each has three bedrooms. The third adjoining property has a three-bedroom house plus a guesthouse and a pool.
Sloane said the comedian has chosen to sell so she can move on and explore "different kinds of architecture."
DeGeneres, 47, won two Daytime Emmys in May. One was for best talk-show host, the second was for her syndicated "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," just finishing its second season.
Signs of progress in Beverly Hills
John Stamos, who stars in the ABC show "Jake in Progress," has purchased a Beverly Hills-area home for close to its $4-million asking price.
Stamos bought a Country French-style home with three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in 3,500 square feet. The house, built in the '50s, is on three-quarters of an acre. It is behind gates on a knoll with city, ocean and canyon views. The house has three fireplaces.
There is also a guesthouse on the property.
