Harrison Ford’s former Los Angeles home, which he bought for $1 million after making Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, has hit the market for $20 million, according to real estate agent.com.
Ford owned the house for almost 30 years, from 1983 to 2012, and even worked on it himself, as he used to be a carpenter.
It is also located in a prized gated neighborhood in Brentwood, near the famous Getty Center Museum.
The Indiana Jones actor sold the sprawling home for $8.2 million to Kevin Reilly, former chief content officer at HBO Max.
Reilly owned the home for just four years, having sold it in 2016 for $12 million.
The next owner was Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and his model wife Miranda Kerr. Now the power couple have listed the house to move into a mansion they created in Holmby Hills, which cost $145 million for the land alone.
This comes after Kerr listed his Malibu home for $4.5 million earlier this year.

Harrison was seen on the left in February in Los Angeles, and Evan with Miranda was seen on the right last year.
The property was originally designed by noted architect Gerard Colcord in 1951.
The house sits on almost 1 acre. The home is just over 7,000 square feet with four bedrooms, all with private bathrooms.
The outside space is generous.
There is a long pool ideal for doing laps. At the end of the pool there is a pool house for showering and relaxing.
The space also houses two separate guest houses.
Inside the main house there are several rooms, such as a separate dining room, a huge living room and a library.
Kerr welcomed her fourth child, Pierre Kerr Spiegel, in February.
The Australian model, who already has Flynn, 12, with her ex-husband Orlando Bloom, and Hart, five, and Myles, three, with her husband Spiegel.
Before the child was born, she told the Australian Herald Sun newspaper: ‘(Being) 40 years old and pregnant with baby number four, it’s a wonderful time in my life. I feel a lot of gratitude, really…
‘(I) crave a lot of citrus, grapefruit and sweet water with lemon.
‘With one of the boys I wanted apples, another wanted frozen yogurt and now I want oranges. With another, I said, ‘Please give me a hamburger!’

The KORA Organics founder described her home life as “organized chaos” because something is always happening.
She said: ‘There’s a lot going on, there’s never a dull moment between arriving at kindergarten and dropping off at preschool, now Flynn is in seventh grade; everything is happening. And I’m pregnant.’
But since Miranda and Snapchat founder Evan are often busy with work, she makes sure to schedule regular times for “date nights” away from the kids.
She said: ‘My husband is growing his business, I’m growing my business, luckily we’re both… homebodies so we really enjoy being with our family at home, spending time together.
‘It’s important to take that time together leading a life as busy as it is, with the kids and our businesses, it’s important to have time for the two of us too.
The next owner was Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel and his model wife Miranda Kerr. Now the power couple have listed the house to move into a mansion they created in Holmby Hills.
The chef’s kitchen is filled with amenities such as a freestanding island with marble countertop and surrounding countertops with two sinks.
“I make sure we have date nights once a week.”
Meanwhile, Miranda believes there is a lot more “pressure” on young models now than when she started her career due to the rise of social media.
She said: “It was very different – there was no social media when I started modelling.”
‘We didn’t have that extra pressure that I’m sure a lot of girls feel these days.
This comes after Ford became emotional as he thanked his wife Calista Flockhart for her “support.”
The 81-year-old actor was honored at the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday (01/14/24) with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and as he reflected on his long career and enduring success, a lump formed in his throat.
He told the audience at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica: “First of all, I’m very happy to be here and see what our business is becoming.”
‘And all the talented people who are getting opportunities that probably wouldn’t have existed in the early part of my career. I’m very happy about that.
‘I’m here because of a combination of luck and the work of wonderful directors, writers and filmmakers. I feel enormously lucky.

“I am happy for this honor and appreciate it very much.”
He then became emotional as he paid tribute to his wife, and the ‘Ally McBeal’ star also cried as the camera snapped at her.
He said: ‘I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who supports me when I need a lot of support. And I need a lot of support.”
And Harrison continued to pay tribute to his ‘excellent’ co-stars over the years.
He said: “I am grateful to all the excellent actors… that I have worked with and I am deeply happy to have had the opportunities that I have had and I am grateful.”
‘I am deeply happy to have had the opportunities I have had and I am grateful. I won’t take up any more of your time. Thank you.’

The director of Harrison’s ‘Indiana Jones and the Dead’, James Mangold, presented him with the award.
The 60-year-old filmmaker said: ‘The largest stars in the known universe are called variable hypergiants… Of course, Harrison Ford is a star. However, tonight I maintain that he is a variable hypergiant.
‘A star so big that it contains multitudes. A star so unique that it attracts other stars. He has warmed each of our lives.’
James then listed several of the veteran actor’s biggest films, including ‘Working Girl,’ ‘Blade Runner,’ ‘American Graffiti,’ ‘Apocalypse Now,’ and ‘Witness.’
He then joked, “The fact that I spit out that incredible, enviable list of movies and performances without even mentioning ‘Star Wars.'”
He added: ‘Harrison’s work is impressive. It is absolutely timeless. It’s authentic, deeply felt, masculine yet vulnerable, often moving and frequently hilarious. His work has been tremendously popular and revered by critics, and represents the voice of a singular artist.’
