Famous Farmers: Harrison Ford’s Ranch near Star Valley Wyoming
A little over 20 years ago, box office star Harrison Ford decided to leave L.A. for an 800-acre ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, about 50 miles from Star Valley Wyoming. On-screen, Ford has saved the galaxy as Hans Solo and gone on action-filled treasure hunts as Indiana Jones, but his life on his Wyoming real estate is more subdued.
An article on LandReport.com talks about Ford’s farm chores on his Wyoming real estate. “I need to be in a situation where my every whim is not attended to, where I have to fetch my own nails, do my own shopping, and wash my own dishes. “Being normal is a kind of victory,” Ford said. “I’ll fix a fence, repair a piece of equipment, or plough the driveway if there’s snow. There’s always plenty of work to do.” Ford was active in planning his Wyoming ranch real estate from the beginning. While on set in France he faxed back drawings of what he wanted his house to look like. Shortly after buying the Wyoming real estate, Ford also started granting conservation easements along his property. In case things get too slow for Ford on theWyoming ranch, he has also worked as a Teton County sheriff’s deputy and has used his planes and helicopters to help in mountain rescue missions, according to LandReport.com.
