Hollywood star Josh Duhamel is living the good life.

Duhamel, 52, left Los Angeles behind to live off-grid in a Minnesota home he spent 15 years building.

"Part of the reason I built my place out in Minnesota, deep in the woods, is it’s removed from everything," the "Safe Haven" star told Parade.

"The closest store is 40 miles away," he explained. "Once we get there, it's really about everybody taking care of each other – making memories, spending time with family and friends."

While it took years for Duhamel to build the off-the-grid spot for his family, he is grateful to have the opportunity to "get back to the basics."

"You're not consumed by all these other distractions," he told the outlet. "When you're out there, it's really about having fun, making sure everybody's warm, everybody's got food and water."

His Minnesota home is enjoyed by the actor plus his wife Audra Mari and their 1-year-old son Sheperd. The actor's 11-year-old son with ex-wife Fergie also spends time at the home.

"My son is going to have memories of this place forever. He's not on his iPad when he's out there," he said of his son Axl. "He's out there in the boat with me, or he's playing soccer on the beach, or he's out there in the woods doing whatever I'm doing."
