Tommy Lee Jones lives on a Texas ranch with horses and polo fields
Tommy Lee Jones has made his home on a 6,000-acre ranch near San Saba, Texas, the small town where he was born.
After decades working in Hollywood, he said he chose to return home when he could live anywhere.
Jones won an Academy Award for The Fugitive and also appeared in films including Men in Black and Lincoln.
The ranch includes about 25 horses and two polo fields, and Jones has played polo since the 1970s.
His wife, Dawn Laurel-Jones, also plays polo, and they help manage the estate’s horses and breed polo foals.
The property gives Jones a private life away from Hollywood, while its historic house and collections reflect his interest in art and history.
Feral hogs have been damaging the lawn, so Jones is considering a perimeter barrier, though he does not want fences around the house.
