Houzz Tour: Fred MacMurray’s Enduring Farmhouse Retreat

Today this barn holds photographs of the families who have touched the land — the Porters, the MacMurrays and the Gallos — but when Kate was growing up, it was used to store farm equipment and supplies. A good deal of the structure is dedicated to her father and mother.MacMurray was no absentee landowner; he bought the farm with the intention of practicing diversified farming: He raised cattle, sheep and chickens, and had fruit orchards and gardens. He and his wife, film actress June Haver, are seen here with a Black Angus raised on the ranch.WATCH: See more of Fred MacMurray’s home on Houzz TV
