10 Celebrities With Ranches and Rural Properties

Not every celebrity chooses the Hollywood spotlight full time. Some step back to wide-open land, raising animals, fishing, or just enjoying quiet acres. While only a handful run true working ranches, many have farm properties or rural estates that keep them connected to the land. These stars prove that country living has a pull—even when you can afford anything.

Sam Elliott

Sam Elliott has long kept a quiet home in Oregon with his wife, Katharine Ross. The property includes horses and plenty of space, which fits the rugged characters he’s known for playing. Elliott values the slower pace and privacy, preferring rural life to city chaos.

Though not a full cattle ranch, his Oregon land gives him the peace and western roots that shaped his career. For Elliott, it’s less about business and more about staying grounded—something he’s managed to do while keeping one foot in Hollywood.

Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones is one of the few celebrities with a truly active ranching operation. In San Saba County, Texas, he breeds polo horses and manages the land seriously, not as a hobby. Friends say he spends as much time ranching as he does acting.

He’s known for being tough and private, but his passion for land management and conservation runs deep. Jones’ ranch is proof that for him, country living isn’t a backdrop—it’s a way of life.

Miranda Lambert

Miranda Lambert owns a farm in Tennessee with her husband, Brendan McLoughlin. It’s where she keeps horses, dogs, and rescue animals tied to her MuttNation Foundation. The property doubles as a sanctuary and a slice of peace between touring and recording.

Lambert has said her animals keep her grounded, and she often shares glimpses of farm chores online. It may not be a traditional ranch, but it’s very much a real working farm, with chickens, horses, and rescue pups running around.

Ree Drummond

Ree Drummond, better known as the Pioneer Woman, really does live the ranch life. Her family’s spread in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, is a true cattle operation. Much of her TV show is filmed right on the property, with wide pastures and plenty of livestock.

Unlike celebrities who buy land as a getaway, the Drummond ranch is part of her family’s livelihood. Between running cattle, cooking, and managing their Mercantile store in town, Ree has turned country living into a household name.

Blake Shelton

Blake Shelton splits his time between music and his Oklahoma property. The land includes a main house, guest cabins, and plenty of room for hunting, fishing, and riding ATVs. It’s the kind of setup built for weekends outdoors.

While it’s not a commercial ranch, Shelton has designed it with the same spirit—lakes, trails, and enough space to feel like a retreat. He’s said before that Oklahoma is where he feels most at home, away from Nashville and Los Angeles.

Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner owns a sprawling 160-acre ranch in Aspen, Colorado. It includes three homes, a private lake, and views that look like something straight out of Yellowstone. He even rents it out for weddings and high-end events.

Costner’s property isn’t a cattle ranch, but it reflects his love for the West. Between filming ranch dramas and owning his own spread, he’s leaned into that rugged image both on and off the screen.

Luke Bryan

Country star Luke Bryan owns Red Bird Farm, a 150-acre property in Tennessee. It includes barns, fishing ponds, and plenty of space for family gatherings. Bryan has shared how much he enjoys getting his kids outdoors there.

The farm is named in memory of his late siblings and reflects his focus on family. While he doesn’t run cattle, the property is very much a working farm with crops and animals. It’s his way of keeping roots in the land.

Reba McEntire

Reba McEntire once owned a massive Tennessee estate with a mansion and event space, but these days she’s back in Oklahoma. Her property includes land, horses, and the quiet pace she grew up with.

While her Tennessee home is now a resort-style venue, her Oklahoma spread is more personal. It ties her back to her upbringing, reminding fans that even with decades of fame, she’s still very much country.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have owned several major rural properties, including a 750-acre Tennessee estate and, most famously, an island in the Bahamas. While they’ve sold both, their love for land and privacy has always shaped their lifestyle.

Even though those properties are no longer theirs, they remain tied to the couple’s image. Both the Tennessee estate and island retreat showed how committed they were to raising their family outside the Hollywood glare.

Chip and Joanna Gaines

Chip and Joanna Gaines still live in Waco, Texas, on their family farm. Their property has animals, gardens, and of course, the farmhouse that made them famous on Fixer Upper. It’s where their Magnolia brand was born.

Unlike some celebrity estates, their farm feels approachable. With kids, animals, and plenty of projects, it’s a working property in the sense that they live and breathe it daily. For them, home really is their biggest design project.
