Celebrities Who Live on Farms, Ranches, or Rural Retreats

Not every celebrity spends their free time in luxury hotels, red carpet parties, or private clubs.

Some are happiest in barns, gardens, horse paddocks, chicken coops, and muddy fields. A few own rescue farms. Others raise livestock, care for horses, grow vegetables, or retreat to rural homes when they want distance from fame.

In many cases, these stars have spoken publicly about their farm life. But their rural side still surprises fans because it feels so different from the image they have on screen, on stage, or on red carpets.

Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried may attend the Met Gala, star in major films, and walk red carpets, but her real dream life is on a farm.

The Mean Girls and Mamma Mia! actress lives on a farm in upstate New York with her family and many rescue animals. Her farm is officially registered as a nonprofit and is home to horses, goats, chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, and a donkey. Seyfried said the animals are often older or have special needs, and she called the farm “my dream.”

Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt has built a real farm life alongside his movie career.

The Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World star owns Stillwater Ranch in Washington State, where he raises animals and often posts about farm life. Pratt showed fans his chickens and fresh eggs from the ranch, and also shared that one of his cows had given birth to twins.

Kevin Bacon

Kevin Bacon has become unexpectedly famous for his farm-animal content.

The Footloose and Mystic River actor and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, have shared videos with goats, pigs, alpacas, and miniature horses. Bacon has even serenaded his farm animals with music, sometimes joined by Sedgwick. PEOPLE covered one of their videos where they sang Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em” to their animals.

Kyra Sedgwick

Kyra Sedgwick shares the farm life with Kevin Bacon, and the animals have become part of their public charm.

Sedgwick has said that some of their goats were gifts from Bacon, including goats named Macon and Louie. Her rural side is a reminder that farm living does not always mean leaving entertainment behind. Sometimes it simply becomes the place where celebrities feel most normal.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid may be one of the world’s best-known models, but she has long treated farm life as her escape.

She has spent years connected to her family’s Pennsylvania farm, where she has shared quiet moments with horses, family, and her daughter. Hadid celebrated her birthday with an intimate gathering at her Pennsylvania farmhouse, with photos showing a peaceful family setting and even a horse nearby.

For Gigi, the farm seems to offer something fashion weeks cannot: privacy and a slower rhythm.

Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid also shares a strong connection to her family’s rural Pennsylvania farm.

Along with Gigi, Bella has often been described as finding peace around horses and open land. Bella and Gigi spent lockdown at their mother Yolanda Hadid’s 32-acre Pennsylvania farmhouse, where the closest neighbors included horses, goats, and cows.

Bella’s modeling life is built on high fashion, but her rural side has always felt closely tied to horses, family, and time away from the industry.

Yolanda Hadid

Yolanda Hadid made farm life part of her family’s public story.

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star bought and renovated a historic Pennsylvania farm that became a sanctuary for her family, including daughters Gigi and Bella.

In 2026, the New York Post reported that Yolanda relisted the 32-acre Pennsylvania estate, which included a stone farmhouse, barns, horse stalls, gardens, and a meditation labyrinth.

Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuoco lives with a large group of rescue animals on her ranch.

The Big Bang Theory and Based on a True Story actress owns a rescue ranch in Thousand Oaks, California. Cuoco bought the ranch several years ago and takes in horses, donkeys, chickens, goats, cows, pigs, and dogs. She also said the ranch is a beautiful place for her family and animals to bond.

Zayn Malik

Zayn Malik is another star who found peace on a Pennsylvania farm.

Architectural Digest reported that Malik preferred spending time off the grid on his rural Pennsylvania farm, which he bought after advice from Yolanda Hadid. The farm gave him space to garden, care for a horse, ride an ATV, and decompress away from fame.

Russell Crowe

Russell Crowe has long been connected to ranch life in Australia.

The Oscar-winning Gladiator actor owns a large Australian ranch and has spoken about returning to it between film projects. Crowe’s 1,400-acre Australian ranch is home to more than 500 cows.

Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley has spent years connected to country living in England.

The actress and model has often shared glimpses of her rural lifestyle, including gardens, animals, and countryside routines. Her farm-adjacent life became part of her brand because it contrasts with the glamorous image many fans associate with her.

Martha Stewart

Martha Stewart is not “secretly” a farmer, but she belongs in any celebrity farm-life conversation.

Her Bedford, New York property is famous for gardens, animals, greenhouses, barns, and a highly organized rural lifestyle. Stewart has turned home, garden, cooking, and farm-adjacent living into a media empire.

Blake Shelton

Blake Shelton’s rural lifestyle has always been part of his public identity.

The country singer and The Voice coach has long been associated with ranch life, land, hunting, and Oklahoma living. Unlike some celebrities, Shelton did not “escape” to a farm after fame. His rural image has been part of his brand from the beginning.

Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood has also embraced rural and farm-adjacent living.

The country star has shared glimpses of family life, gardens, animals, and outdoor living over the years. Her public image often blends polished stage performance with a private life that feels much more grounded and country.

Jason Momoa

Jason Momoa has often been associated with land, nature, and regenerative farming causes.

He appeared in promotional material and interviews around Common Ground, a documentary focused on regenerative farming and soil health.

Laura Dern

Laura Dern has also been connected to regenerative farming advocacy through Common Ground.

The documentary features Dern among public figures supporting conversations around soil, agriculture, and food systems.

Woody Harrelson

Woody Harrelson is known for environmental views, plant-based living, and support for more sustainable systems.

His involvement in Common Ground connects him to regenerative agriculture advocacy, not necessarily day-to-day farm living.
