Michael J. Fox's longtime vacation home in Sharon, Connecticut is officially on the market for $4.25 million. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollen built the 5,000 square foot home back in 1997, and watched his kids grow up on the 72-acre property, which features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a shed and fishing house, a pool and a natural pond, plus ample yard space, perfect for a family with children.

Fox opened up about his beloved vacation home to Architectural Digest back in 2000, and called the property his "playhouse," specifically referring to the fishing shack. "This is a family home," said Marc Charbonnet, the interior designer who worked with the family on this home and their Fifth Avenue apartment in New York City. "It's not some movie star, shindig house, but a quiet place for peo­ple constantly in the spotlight. It's here, in the middle of nowhere, that the Foxes can let their hair down, be with people they love ... walk around without anyone bothering them. In short, it's a place to be themselves and feel safe."

Movie star or not, the house is a perfect getaway and the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world, as we're sure Michael J. Fox did here with his family.

Marty McFly and Doc would have definitely done some Back to the Future scheming on this large porch on the front of the home. With plenty of room for lounge chairs and recliners, there's a spot for everyone in the family to relax outdoors.

The open floor plan combines the home's great room and dining room, creating one giant living space big enough for a large couch, plush chairs, and a dining table for at least 10 people. And, as with the rest of the house, the room looks out onto the gorgeous view of the yard.

What would a vacation house be without a pool? This one is sleek and minimalistic, with natural grass instead of a patio and comfortable pool chairs complete with umbrellas for shade.
