Dennis Quaid wants to be footloose and fancy free of his spread near Yellowstone National Park, listing the 20-acre ranch for $1,495,000.
Quaid has owned the Montana property since 1982, when he purchased it from director Sam Peckinpah and actor Warren Oates, who owned the property together, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The ranch is in Pray, just a few miles southeast of Bozeman, and not far from inviting pool at Chico Hot Springs.
From “Great Balls of Fire!” to “The Big Easy” and “The Parent Trap,” Quaid has had his share of big-screen hits. His latest role is as Reverend Shaw Moore in the newly released remake of “Footloose.” But Hollywood is not where Quaid wants to hang out, either.
He’s also looking to sell his home in the Pacific Palisades real estate market, which is currently listed for $10 million. The L.A. estate has had its price slashed from its original list price of $16.9 million. California and Montana are off the map for Quaid, who’s currently living in Texas but has decided to look even further west — to Hawaii — to enjoy “the new love of my life, which is surfing.”
That’s fitting, since Quaid starred in the 2011 release “Soul Surfer,” a movie about a teenage surfer who summons the courage to get back on the board after losing her arm in a shark attack.
Quaid’s Montana property includes two houses and a guest cabin for a total of 6 bedrooms, 4 baths. Located in Paradise Valley, the house is situated near Six Mile Creek and has access to a trout-stocked pond. One of the dwellings has provided a nice flow of income due to its use as a vacation rental.
To seal a deal, Quaid has included an unusual closing gift: A spa package for two at the local hot springs.
The listing is held by agent Jacqueline Jance of Keller Williams Realty.
