Harrison Ford has long lived in Wyoming, having purchased his Jackson Hole ranch in the early 1980s. However, before that, the Star Wars actor, 83, lived in the Hollywood Hills.
Located on Woodrow Wilson Drive, Harrison's 2,500-square-foot home became not only his bolthole but a personal DIY project as he set about renovating the property himself. According to Architectural Digest, the Indiana Jones actor's pad was originally built as a Forest Service lookout cabin.

Harrison owned the three-bedroom residence, which was built in 1911, while he was working as a carpenter between acting gigs. In this home, he installed bespoke cabinets, as well as a sundeck.

Harrison's side hustle
During his time as a carpenter, Harrison worked on properties owned by Brazilian musician Sérgio Mendes, as well as The Godfather filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and writer Joan Didion.

Harrison's former New York condo
In stark contrast to his DIY project pad, Harrison's portfolio of former homes also features two New York pads. The first was one he and his now-ex-wife, Melissa Mathison, purchased in 1997. The couple paid $2.7 million for the unit that covered the 15th floor of the condo at 101 Central Park West.

His bachelor pad featured a loft-style feel and sat over 5,500 square feet with a private roof terrace affording him a further 2,300 square feet. He sold the property for $15 million in 2012 after marrying Calista Flockhart in 2009.
