Russell's move to Colorado nearly 50 years ago allowed him to embrace nature while keeping up with his Hollywood career
There's one element of Kurt Russell's humble beginnings that he continues to enjoy even today: a log home.
In a Tuesday, March 17 Wall Street Journal feature, The Madison actor, 75, opened up about his and partner Goldie Hawn's shared passion for the modest, traditional style.
"Our Old Snowmass, [Colo.] home is my favorite," Russell tells the outlet. "It's a large, beautiful log-cabin lodge on a ranch that we moved into a little over 40 years ago."
Russell tells the outlet his love for log homes goes back to his early childhood. Growing up, the Hateful Eight star lived in a log cabin in Rangeley, Maine, that his grandparents built in 1939.

After his father, a minor league baseball player, left the sport due to an injury, Russell's family relocated to Florida before eventually settling in California. There, Russell followed his father's footsteps and began to pursue an acting career.
Eventually, Russell and Hawn, now 80, met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1967. They met again later in 1983 while working on the film Swing Shift. It was then, 43 years ago, they agreed, "Let's have fun until we don't."

Today the couple splits time between their homes in Los Angeles, Palm Desert, Calif., New York and Old Snowmass. Russell notes, "We love real estate."
"Goldie and I share a passion for log homes," he says. "I never got that out of my system, starting with the one in Maine."

"I like to wake up in bed each morning looking at the mountains out back," he says. "I like to head down to the barn, saddle up a horse and ride. I also like zoning out in front of the living-room fireplace."
In a conversation with Men's Health, published on March 14, Russell revealed he moved to Colorado when he was 26. He says he made the decision in order to "live the life I wanted to live."
"My business was still primarily out of Los Angeles, so my life's been split, going back and forth," he says. "I'm glad I did what I did. I've enjoyed my life the way I've wanted to and I've been able to continue on the business too. I was able to make that happen."

Russell's owned experience in the American west is something he'll utilize in his new show, The Madison, which he stars in alongside Michelle Pfeiffer.
"My history with fly fishing, for instance, goes way back. So I guess it's something that came naturally," he tells Men's Health.
The Madison is available to stream on Paramount+, with the next three episodes out March 21.
