The couple purchased the hilltop residence early in 2019 for $38 million (US$27 million), and hastily got to work expanding and modernising the showstopping house.
The property now boasts a 760 sqm three-bedroom main house, a one-bedroom guesthouse, a cabana with a gym, and a security office, according to Realtor.
The total offering – set behind large gates and looking out onto the Pacific Ocean – spans nearly 1,000 sqm with multiple structures, five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and five half-baths, on 9.3 acres of land.
The sprawling grounds include a koi pond, sports court, many lush plants and sprawling lawns.
Built in 2011, the main house opens onto a veranda with a fire pit, dining area, and seating, and looks out to a vanishing edge pool that juts over the hillside.

Entering directly into the great room with bamboo ceilings and walls of glass, the large space includes living and dining areas that lead outside. The kitchen features blackstone counters and open shelves, and faces glass walls that also access an outdoor dining area.
The luxurious main bedroom includes a spalike bath with a built-in stone tub that looks out to the mountain and ocean views, and also contains two sinks and a separate shower.
The showbiz couple have bought and sold multiple properties over the years across California.
They own a posh Beverly Hills mansion they bought from Adam Levine, another home-flipping celeb, which they picked up last year for nearly $60 million (US$42.5 million).
DeGeneres, a comedian and veteran daytime talk-show host, has recently been contending with reports of a negative work environment at her show, leading to the ousting of several top executives.
