Hollywood heavyweight Glenn Close, 77, has shunned the Hollywood spotlight for a quieter life in Montana.
The iconic actress, known for her performances in “Fatal Attraction” and “The Wife,” now calls the charming town of Bozeman home, trading luxury for a simpler existence surrounded by family and nature.
“Today, my home is in Bozeman, Montana. All of my siblings live here,” Close told The Wall Street Journal. “My modest, 1892 brick house has a porch where I can see the mountains and say hi to neighbors.”
The three-bedroom, three-bathroom “fully restored” brick house boasts a 2,316-square-foot layout, blending historic charm with modern conveniences like stainless steel appliances and an open floor plan.
She purchased the residence back in 2016 for $699,000, records obtained by The Post show.
“A HAPPY place to live!” the previous listing noted.
Located just a short walk from downtown, the cozy retreat also features a sunny backyard—a perfect escape for the actress, who left New York City in 2019.
But Close isn’t stopping with just one home in Montana.
She told the Journal that she’s working on plans for a second property in the area.
“I’m building a larger house about a half-hour outside of town. It’s going to be my Zen farmhouse and our family sanctuary,” she shared. “In the back will be a stone cottage, reminding me of the best years of my childhood.”
The move to Montana was more than a geographical shift—it marked a deeper return to the things that ground the 8-time Oscar nominee.
“When I was little, I got solace in nature, and that has never changed,” Close said.
She added that her goal is to create a legacy for her daughter and future generations.
“To come back here and be with my siblings and have a piece of land outside of town that will always be here,” she explained. “That’s my legacy. I just feel incredibly lucky.”
Her transition to Big Sky Country came a year before the pandemic sparked similar moves among city dwellers nationwide.
In a 2021 interview with Mountain Outlaw, Close reflected on the emotional pull of her new home.
“Not only is Bozeman my home, but I couldn’t wait to get back here,” she said. “When I left to go to that job, Jessie and Tina [her sisters] were there to see me off at the airport. It was so great. I’ve come to realize how much I dread going away.”
While embracing her peaceful Montana lifestyle, Close hasn’t slowed down professionally.
She stars in Netflix’s “Back in Action” alongside Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx and is set to appear in Hulu’s highly anticipated series “All’s Fair,” created by Ryan Murphy and starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Sarah Paulson.
On the personal front, the actress told Drew Barrymore last week that she hasn’t pursued a romantic relationship since her 2015 breakup with biotech engineer David Shaw.
When asked if she’s open to love again, Close responded candidly, “I don’t know. I mean, I’m always up for anything, but I’m very happy right now. I’m not searching.”
Instead, the three-time Golden Globe winner is focused on her family, career, and personal happiness.
“I’m not a hugely comfortable social person, so I don’t leap to go to a party at all. So yeah, I’m okay,” she explained.
For Close, Montana isn’t just a new address—it’s a fresh chapter in a storied life, filled with family, natural beauty, and the simple joys of home.
“I do think these will be the best years of my life,” she said.
