Calista Flockhart Ditches 800-Acre Ranch – The Surprising Reason Behind Her Move!

Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart have long enjoyed the tranquility of their sprawling ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a retreat set on 800 acres of pristine land. The idyllic property has provided the couple with a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood life, offering them the serenity of rural living when they’re not working on projects in California. However, in recent weeks, Flockhart has swapped the quiet of Wyoming for the energy of New York City, all in the name of theater.

The actress, best known for her role as Ally McBeal, is currently starring in an Off-Broadway revival of Sam Shepard’s Curse of the Starving Class at the Pershing Square Signature Center. The production, which began on February 25, sees Flockhart take on a leading role alongside Christian Slater and Cooper Hoffman. The play’s run was recently extended until April 6, signaling that the actress is enjoying her return to the stage.

While it’s unclear whether Flockhart and Ford are staying in New York City during the production, it’s worth noting that the couple sold their luxurious Central Park West penthouse more than a decade ago, meaning they no longer have a permanent residence in the city. The couple’s primary home is in Brentwood, California, but the allure of their Wyoming ranch has always been a haven for Ford, who has spoken fondly about the solitude and natural beauty of the area.

Ford, 82, has often described how much he cherishes the simplicity and quiet that life in Wyoming offers. “When I’m up in Wyoming, I just walk out the door and keep walking,” Ford told Parade in 2020. “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.”

Despite their affection for the ranch, the couple’s property empire has expanded over the years. Ford has previously owned a penthouse apartment in New York’s Central Park West, which he sold for a hefty $16 million. Now, with Flockhart in New York for her theater commitments, it raises the possibility that the couple may invest in a new place in the city to accommodate their split lifestyle.

As Flockhart enjoys her time on stage, it’s clear that the couple remains deeply connected to both the quiet solace of their ranch in Wyoming and the vibrant energy of New York City. Whether they choose to settle into another urban space or return to their quiet retreat, one thing remains clear: both Ford and Flockhart continue to balance their professional ambitions with a love for nature and peaceful living.
