Hollywood legend Harrison Ford has been gracing the silver screen for decades and has amassed a healthy fortune in the process.

It's thanks to his long-standing career that the Indiana Jones actor has built up a stunning property portfolio over the years.

The 82-year-old and his wife, Calista Flockhart - perhaps best known for playing Ally McBeal - have a house in Brentwood, California, which they use when they're busy working on industry projects, but they also spend a lot of time at their sprawling ranch in Wyoming.

Their home, which is in Jackson Hole, sits on 800 acres of land, so the pair can revel in the peace and quiet that the private estate affords them.

Calista Flockhart heads to the Big Apple

However, it seems Calista has recently swapped the serenity of rural living for the bright lights of the Big Apple, as the 60-year-old is currently performing in a theater production.

The actress has been cast in an Off-Broadway revival of Sam Shepard's Curse of the Starving Class, which began its run at the Pershing Square Signature Center on West 42nd Street on February 25.

Calista will lead the cast alongside Christian Slater and Cooper Hoffman until April 6, after it was extended by a week. 

It's not known if Calista and Harrison are staying in New York City while she stars in the 1977 play, especially since the pair sold Harrison's luxurious pad over ten years ago.

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart's property empire

The Star Wars actor, who has most recently made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe playing Thaddeus E 'Thunderbolt' Ross in Captain America: Brave New World, previously owned a penthouse apartment in the Central Park West neighborhood of New York.

However, Harrison decided to put the home on the market and eventually sold it for a cool $16 million. Perhaps now is the time for them to invest in a new place in the city?

What's for certain is that Harrison loves the quietness of Wyoming. He told Parade in 2020: "When I'm up in Wyoming, I just walk out the door and keep walking… 

"If my chores are done and there's nothing more pressing and the weather's good, I'll go flying – I love to fly up there – or walk in the woods, do some work, ride my road bike or mountain bike."
