Tom Selleck has spent more than 30 years in California living the life of a rancher. He and his wife maintain that living on a ranch helps to keep him somewhat sane.

The actor, who was born in Detroit in January 1945, entered the entertainment business in the 1960s when he started to play bit parts in movies and television. The actor didn’t truly achieve fame and money until Magnum, PI premiered.

Selleck portrayed Hawaii-based detective Thomas Magnum for eight years on the show. He even won a Primetime Emmy for outstanding lead actor for the part.

Later, the actor appeared in well-known roles on programs including Friends and The Closer. He is also a star of “Blue Bloods.” He co-stars in the program with Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg, and others. With 13 seasons under its belt, the show is immensely well-liked by viewers.

Although Selleck has experienced considerable stardom, his career may have been even more successful. However, the actor like to maintain a sense of balance in his life and places just as much importance on his personal life as he does on his career. The actor left Magnum, PI in 1987 for this reason.

The actor was not aware of how much popularity the series had given him. He enjoyed his work, but he wasn’t always content with the level of attention it brought him. Once he said, “I knew intellectually what it would mean in terms of being a public person, but until you’ve lived it, there’s no way to understand it.”

According to the actor, he left Magnum, PI because he was “from it” and desired a more satisfying life. He wed Jillie Joan Mack, his second wife, after leaving the show in 1987. He described his second wife as having a “effervescent quality” and having the ability to “light up a room.”

Mack was an English actress and former dancer. The couple bought a ranch in Ventura, California, a year after getting married. Dean Martin once owned the ranch. Over 1,500 natural trees are supposedly present on the land.

When Selleck departs the ranch, his wife Mack takes over because she has been filming Blue Bloods in New York for the past ten years. One of the couple’s friends observed that although though she had given up her work, she was still tremendously happy because she spent most of her time on the ranch with her animals, who brought her great joy.

Mack and Selleck adore the ranch. Selleck made the decision to restore his soul and regain some measure of anonymity prior to purchasing the ranch. People were concerned for the actor’s career because he seldom completed any projects throughout the year. He clarified, though, that the main reason was that he had no interest in the projects that were being given to him.

The actor took advantage of the solitude and calm as news reports claimed that his career was virtually over to renew himself. He said, “I quit Magnum to have a family. It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.”

Mack and Selleck have been married for more than 30 years, and in 1988, their daughter Hannah was born. They felt that their daughter would enjoy growing up on the ranch as well.

The actor put his marriage first in order to support his personal life. He acknowledged how his marriage benefited from taking some time away from Hollywood to concentrate on his household.

Although leading a relaxed lifestyle at the ranch has improved his personal life, the couple struggles to keep it going. From repairing the roads to trimming the plants, Selleck handles every task on the property by himself.

His avocado plants were damaged by the California drought. The actor admitted that selling avocados had proven to be highly profitable for him in 2007, but only a few years earlier he had admitted that making a living off of his avocados was becoming difficult.

But when Selleck and his wife were accused of taking “truckloads of water” from a hydrant supplying a construction site next to their home, things took a dramatic and ugly turn.

The Calleguas Municipal Water District claims that Selleck stole water by the truckloads. It was claimed that he would travel to the hydrant and bring the water back to his home using a sizable water tender-style truck. In around two years, 12 trips were reported. It was unclear how much water was stolen because it was unclear whether any additional trips were made that went unnoticed.

The actors allegedly ignored two cease-and-desist letters that were given by the authorities in late 2013 and continued to take water.

In addition to additional funds to cover the cost of damages, the actor was forced to pay $21,000 to reimburse the cost of the private investigation that was conducted against him. Additionally, he was forbidden from obtaining any more water for his own use from the Calleguas Municipal Water District.

The actor seemed to be completely happy with his life and ranching in California. We are overjoyed for the performer to have a place to “retreat” and be himself.
