Familiar faces like Nikki Reed, Ian Somerhalder and Josh Duhamel have all shared their decisions to leave behind their showbiz routines, embracing everything from running sustainable farms to building secluded cabins or managing rural estates.

Actors Ty Burrell and Jill Wagner are also loving life away from the spotlight, soaking up outdoor adventures and focusing on family, while Ellen DeGeneres offered fans a playful peek at her new countryside digs in England — including some very cheeky house sheep. Even legends like Sylvester Stallone are settling into fresh routines, unveiling stylish homes far from Hollywood’s stomping grounds.
