Where does Paul McCartney live? Inside his homes from St Johns Wood to the Hamptons

Blossom Wood Farm has become something of a retreat and a haven for the McCartney family over the years; as well as being the house in which his photographer daughter Mary grew up, she and her family isolated there with Paul during the coronavirus pandemic in 2021. In the grounds there is a fir tree which George Harrison gave to McCartney not long before his death in 2001. McCartney also grows hemp on the farm, and hops, which a nearby brewer makes into limited-batch Old Stinkhorn ale for him.

Tucson Ranch

Around 1979, McCartney and Linda, now married for a decade, bought a 151-acre ranch in Arizona near the Tanque Verde River. Like Blossom Wood and High Park farms, the ranch was a place to avoid the limelight and live a quiet life; although Linda was an East Coast American, born and raised in New York and Vermont, she attended university for a period in Arizona and loved riding horses in the state.

The Arizona ranch is set at the foothills of the Rincon Mountains, close to Redington Pass, and supposedly accessible by a dusty blacktop road from east Tucson (though it also has a helipad). It was here that Linda died from breast cancer in 1998, aged 56.

New York penthouse

In 2015, McCartney bought a glass-fronted New York penthouse for $15 million, selling it at a loss in March 2022 for just $8.5 million. The two-storey apartment sat on Fifth Avenue and featured 40-foot, floor-to-ceiling windows. When he bought it with his current wife, Nancy Shevell, it reportedly hadn’t been renovated since the 1960s.

Amagansett, the Hamptons

McCartney also owns a house in Amagansett, near East Hampton on New York’s Long Island. Last year, he made a surprise appearance at a tiny club in Amagansett, playing with record procuder Andrew Watt and the drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chad Smith, at the 250-capacity Stephen Townhouse. He can also regularly be seen sailing around the area and spends time there in the summer.
