From the rarefied world of a professional tennis phenom to the dusty trails of an old-time singing cowboy, this weekâs curated collection opens the doors on a variety of places celebrities call home. None hits closer to the heart, however, than the 65-acre ranch once owned by a television star and lover of horses — particularly a palomino by the name of Trigger.
Our ultra-modern [Home of the Week]( in Brentwood, listed at $21.5 million, has an unusual Z-shaped layout spanning multiple levels to maximize privacy and bring in natural light. Geothermal heating and cooling, as well as a solar-powered ionized swimming pool, lessen the houseâs energy footprint.

Game, set, match
Tennis star Serena Williams has completed a match in Bel-Air, [selling her home]( of more than a decade for $8.1 million.
Set on nearly three acres, the 1935-built house has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and 6,100 square feet of living space.
High ceilings, marble and hardwood floors and a full-service hair salon are among the features. A curving wall of clerestories and French doors lines the living room, bringing in leafy views.
The tree-lined estate has private walking trails that wind through the property. A secluded swimming pool, a pool house, gardens and covered patio space make up the grounds.
Williams, 37, has held the top female tennis ranking for 319 weeks over the course of her career. In addition to seven Wimbledon titles, seven Australian Open titles, six U.S. Open titles and three French Open titles, she also has four Olympic gold medals.

Encino house is them
Actor Justin Hartley of âThis Is Usâ fame and his wife, realtor and actress Chrishell Stause, have purchased a [newly built home in Encino]( for $4.65 million. Weâre betting they looked at the modern farmhouse-style single-story and said, âThis is us.â
The 6,762 square feet of open floorplan is crowned by high ceilings and exposed wood beams. A glass wall reveals the temperature-controlled wine room. A high-tech media room, a dining room, a butlerâs pantry, six bedrooms and eight bathrooms are among the other living spaces.
The resort-like backyard contains a contemporary fire-pit area, a pool house, a swimming pool and a sports court.
Hartley, 42, has TV credits that include “The Young and the Restless,â “Passions” and “Revenge.” Stause, 37, plays herself on the Netflix realty reality show âSelling Sunset.â Her television work includes âDays of Our Livesâ and âThe Young and the Restless.â

Ghostbuster makes a catch
Itâs nothing strange in this neighborhood: A [Sherman Oaks house]( linked through a trust to âYoung Sheldonâ and âGhostbustersâ actress Annie Potts has sold for $1.84 million.
Wood-beam ceilings, clerestory windows and walls of glass are among details of the 2,194-square-foot Midcentury Modern home, which was built in 1955.
A living room with a white-painted brick fireplace, a den with a fireplace, a dining area, a streamlined kitchen with a breakfast nook, three bedrooms and two bathrooms make up the floorplan. Sliding glass doors open to the patio and a saltwater swimming pool.

Rounding up a buyer
Giddy-up. [Roy Rogersâ Double R Bar Ranch]( in Victorville is for sale at $3.7 million.
The 65-acre spread, currently a working ranch, film set and wedding venue, was once owned by singing cowboy actor Rogers and his wife, actress Dale Evans.
The current sellers added an entire Wild West set with a saloon, a blacksmith shop and other structures. The red barn contains Rogersâ old workshop, a kitchen, restrooms and a bridal room.
Three houses with a total of six bedrooms, six bathrooms and 4,639 square feet of living space sit off the Mojave River near old Route 66. Seven horse stables, a half-mile race track, garages, a camp ground and grapevines that Rogers planted during the 1960s complete the grounds.
The singing couple owned the ranch until their deaths. Rogers, who died in 1998 at 86, was in scores of films and television shows including his own, âThe Roy Rogers Show,â from 1951 to 1957. Evans, who died in 2001 at 88, was known for her radio, film and television work, including âThe Roy Rogers Show.â

Her favorite room
Necar Zadegan, best known for her roles on Fox’s “24” and Bravo’s “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce,” loves spending time on the [bedroom balcony of her Hollywood Hills home](.
