Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick Swap the Red Carpet for Red Barns, Gardening, and Their Beloved Pets

Kevin Bacon may be Hollywood’s most connected man (six degrees, anyone?), but these days, his favorite connections have four legs and a beard. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have traded red carpets for muddy boots at their 40-acre farm in Sharon, Connecticut, where goats get serenaded and dinner grows out back.

For Bacon, gardening is a way of life, not a photo op. He loves picking fresh herbs, zucchini, and a ripe tomato or two from the garden. Between gardening, goats, and guitars, it sounds like a dream. Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon share their home with pets, including dogs that stole their hearts and barnyard animals with sitcom-worthy names. The landscaping lets the three red barns do the talking, while the interior design feels cozy, quirky, and unpolished. Flowers pop up in unexpected places, even in a cheeky Miley Cyrus cover.

There’s also a drought-friendly LA garden for landscaping inspiration — no perfect boxwood hedges or manicured lawns required. Inside, the living room details, from a bold green display unit to a cream armchair, show how comfort can come before polish. Whether it’s a porch swing or a pasture, the design feels the same: slow, cozy, and very un-Hollywood. Grab your rain boots. We’re going in.

Plot twist: the farm is older than the marriage. Kevin Bacon bought the place in 1983, years before he met Kyra Sedgwick, and remembers it as a rundown little farmhouse with a tiny wood stove. Romantic? Sort of. Think creaky porch energy, not Hollywood mansion.

The couple raised their kids there for a while, until Kyra staged what Bacon calls a “reverse Green Acres” and wanted lunches with friends and trips to Bergdorf’s. (He admits she was 100% right.) But they never let the farm go, and today they still split their time between LA, New York City and Connecticut.

Let’s talk barns, because the internet certainly did. In one Instagram video, the couple strolls across the property with spotted pigs trotting behind them, while three rusty-red barns pop against the blue sky and green pasture. It looks like a movie set, and Homes & Gardens agreed, crowning the classic red the star of the backyard.

Fun detail: a 2021 farm tour showed Bacon zipping between the barns in a red jeep. Of course it’s red. The landscaping lesson: let one bold color do all the heavy lifting. No boxwood topiaries needed.

Here’s where the farm gets delicious. Kevin Bacon told People that he and Kyra Sedgwick love picking fresh herbs, tomatoes, basil, peppers and zucchini, and that eating something still warm from the sun reminds him why the planet is worth protecting. Picture biting into a sun-warmed tomato minutes after picking it. Yep, we’re jealous too.

The pair has gone full farm-to-table, with Bacon saying garden work keeps him connected to nature. With basil and tomato plants in the same patch, a fresh caprese is basically always on the menu. Oh, and the estate has a pool tucked inside an orchard. Swim, snack, repeat. Out here, gardening is less about boxwood borders and more about what ends up on the dinner table. In other words, the garden design is all about flavor.

Fair warning: you’re about to fall in love with a goat. It all started when Kevin gave Kyra mini goats Macon and Louis as an anniversary gift. Who needs jewelry? The crew has since grown to include pigs Johnny and June, plus three alpacas and three miniature horses.

The best name story? The couple once wanted to call their son Macon, until they realized he’d be Macon Bacon. So they saved it for a goat. Iconic.

New arrivals keep crashing the party: a foal named Little Ricky showed up on Father’s Day, and Kevin surprised Kyra Sedgwick with calves Tater and Tot for her 60th birthday. Add Bacon’s viral #goatsongs serenades, and it’s no shock he stopped eating goat and pig. Kyra’s verdict: no more animals, or he’ll quit eating everything. Honestly, pets this photogenic deserve a fan club, and on Instagram, they basically have one.

Long before Tater and Tot, there was Lily. The family dog spent 13 years with them, and when she passed, both stars shared emotional tributes on Instagram. Grab the tissues.

Daughter Sosie has even lent her parents her dog to keep them company. Now that’s a good kid. Between the dogs, goats and cows, this family clearly never met an animal it didn’t want to adopt.

Forget magazine-perfect. The living room scenes from Kevin Bacon’s “Monday Blues” clips show a bold green display unit that steals the show. He has also jammed out from a cream armchair in the cozy living room, wearing a checked shirt, because farmhouse dress code. Plenty of stars stage the living room for the camera; this living room actually looks lived in.

Those humble roots never left. Bacon remembers the original as a little farmhouse with a tiny wood stove, and that lived-in, no-fuss vibe still shines through every post. The interior design takeaway: personality beats perfection every time. After all, design doesn’t have to be precious when the view out the window is a pasture full of alpacas.

Their green thumbs go bicoastal. At their Los Feliz home, landscape artist Patricia Foulkrod designed a tiered hillside of cacti, succulents and grasses with moody purple accents. No thirsty boxwood required.

Homes & Gardens called it a 2026 blueprint for low-maintenance landscaping, and Kyra Sedgwick even posed with Foulkrod in the yard. Chic landscaping with this little watering? Sign us up. The design proves drought-friendly can still feel lush.

As for flowers? The couple’s most iconic bouquet is musical. In 2023, they posted a cover of Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” and Kevin joked that he usually buys Kyra flowers, but she’s got that covered. Smooth. From flowers to succulents to goats, these two really do it all.

Red barns, singing goats, a tomato still warm off the vine: Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick’s farm proves the best celebrity hideaway has nothing to do with square footage. After nearly 40 years together, these two still look happiest with dirt on their boots and a goat by their side.
Between gardening, the porch, the pasture, and the living room, home is wherever the goats are. Honestly? Goals. So pour a lemonade, pull up a chair on the porch, and go binge Kevin’s goat videos.
