Jeremy Renner's dream house is the "representation" of every movie he's ever made.
The 44-year-old actor - who's married to Canadian model Sonni Pacheco, with whom he has a two-year-old daughter Ava Berlin - has spent years doing up homes in Hollywood and selling them on for a small fortune in the hope of one day passing his property on to his children.
And Jeremy - who recently starred in 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' - says he's finally reached that stage, saying: "We kept acquiring bigger structures, and now it's 20-some houses later between the two of us ... mostly we did them together.
"Each house has always been our primary residence... We were just investing in the next house we were going to live in. We live in the houses while the work's being done.
"Most people couldn't do that ... It's like going back to camping and caveman days - no electricity, no running water."
Jeremy's dream home is a 1960s-period property - and he couldn't be any happier with it.
He told Playboy magazine: "This is my home now, and I'm pretty sure this is my last structure. It's something I built and it's a representation of every house I built and pretty much every movie I've done. This house represents a lot of who I am spiritually.
"This will be my daughter's place in the future. I own it now, but Ava owns me."

Ezra Miller is reportedly in talks over a role in the 'Harry Potter' spin-off.
The 22-year-old actor - who starred as the title character in 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' - is wanted to assume the role of Kredan in Warner Bros.' 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'.
While it remains unclear how close the two sides are to agreeing a deal, Variety reports that Ezra is the studio's preferred choice for the part.
The much-anticipated new movie will definitely star Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne, who'll be working from a script penned by best-selling author J.K. Rowling.
Speaking about the movie, the writer recently explained: "Although it will be set in the worldwide community of witches and wizards where I was so happy for 17 years, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is neither a prequel nor a sequel to the 'Harry Potter' series but an extension of the wizarding world."
Other crucial roles in the movie still to be cast include Queenie, Tina's younger sister, and Jacob, a rival of Newt Scamander's.
Alison Sudol is reportedly the first choice for the role of Queenie, while Josh Gad and Michael Cera are being considered for the part of Jacob.

Rita Ora has "a lot of respect" for her 'Southpaw' co-star Jake Gyllenhaal.
The 'Poison' hitmaker - who had a small cameo in 'Fifty Shades of Grey' - says she has "learnt so much" about acting from watching the Hollywood hunk act alongside 'Mean Girls' actress Rachel McAdams.
Speaking on the Jackie and Kyle O Show on Sydney's KIIS 1065 FM radio station, she said: "He's great. He is a great guy I have a lot respect for him. He's a very credible person and he is really focused you know. It's really great to watch these people work. I learnt so much."
The 'Nightcrawler' star also had a lot of praise for the blonde beauty and said he has "a lot of time for her".
He recently shared: "She was great. People will see she brought a lot. I have a lot of time for her."
Rita plays a "distressed" drug addict and prostitute in 'Southpaw' and despite only being a small part, she said it's a "very effective" part of the movie.
She added: "With Jake in 'Southpaw' I have a very small part but, it's a very effective part in the movie."
'Southpaw' will be released in cinemas worldwide on July 24.

Rose McGowan thinks Hollywood is stuck in an 'Entourage'-like mentality.
The 41-year-old actress recently disclosed a sexist audition note in which all female performers were asked to wear a "form fitting tank" that would show off their cleavage - and she's claimed such incidents are not surprising.
Reflecting on sexism in Hollywood, Rose shared: "There's like 'd**kery' as I call it [in Hollywood], where they're stuck in this 'Mad Men' / 'Entourage' era and it's just boring and it's kind of embarrassing.
"It's old fashioned and it's like, face palm, it's like, that's not what's going on now in the world, you've gotta change. If film is our number one export, be careful with what we're putting out there because you can do a lot of damage."
"I think for all 10 percent a little bit deeper, a little bit funnier - a little bit more thinking, a little bit more feeling - the world would actually change. And Hollywood used to be at the forefront of that."
The actress said a move towards equality within Hollywood will also make for more interesting cinema.
She told Nylon magazine: "Hollywood is accused all the time by people, 'Liberal Media! They have an agenda!' And you're goddamn right I have an agenda. I have an agenda for people to be better humans.
"Why? Because I want more people to talk to, more people to play with, and more interesting things to watch, listen to, and read. It's not that complicated."

Jason Statham is to star in 'Fast & Furious 8'.
The 47-year-old actor, who played the role of special forces assassin Deckard Shaw in the most-recent instalment in the money-spinning franchise, has confirmed he is set to reprise the part and has told fans to expect some "great stuff" in the new movie.
He shared: "The fanbase is very unique.
"They really do relate to the characters. They love these characters. They've followed them for years and years.
"We're already talking about doing another one, part eight, and I'm a newcomer. I just got invited to the party in this last one, so it's nice to know that I'll be doing another."
However, Jason admitted he doesn't have any influence over the plotlines and refused to disclose any specific secrets.
He told Access Hollywood: "I don't create the stories.
"[The writers] have always got something good up their sleeve, and I don't want to be the one who spoils everything, giving you plotlines and stuff like that.
"But there is some great stuff that I already know about."
'Furious 7' recently became the third highest-grossing film ever, behind 'Avatar' and 'Titanic'.

'Bridget Jones' Baby' is in "aggressive development".
Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth are in final negotiations to return to the film series as the titular heroine and love interest Mark Darcy, while director Sharon Maguire - who directed 'Bridget Jones' Diary' in 2001 - is already contracted to make the movie and is currently assembling a key crew and searching for locations across the UK ahead of proposed filming in autumn.
Eric Fellner, co-chairman of production company Working Title, told the Daily Mail newspaper:
"We are keen to try to make it later this year, but there's still nothing definite yet.
"If the script and all our deals with the actors fall into place, then this one will be up and running."
Fellner and Maguire have held extensive meetings with the two leads, and also been in contact with other actors from the film series, including Gemma Jones and Jim Broadbent, who played Bridget's parents.
However, Hugh Grant will not be returning as Daniel Cleaver, nor will the role be re-cast.
The film is based on columns written by author Helen Fielding eight years ago, not her most recent novel 'Mad About the Boy' - in which Bridget is struggling as a single mother following Mark's death - and the writer penned the initial screenplay with David Nicholls.

Paul Rudd doesn't think his 'Ant-Man' alter ego has a "sexy" superpower.
The 46-year-old actor portrays Scott Lang and his titular alter ego in the new Marvel blockbuster and admits having the ability to reduce in size while gaining in strength doesn't sound very exciting.
He said: "I can shrink, it doesn't sound sexy does it?"
However, Paul felt like a real "superhero" as soon as he wore his costume for the first time and instantly slipped into character.
Speaking to 'Extra', he recalled: "Putting on that suit for the first time was the coolest thing, I stood differently and I thought 'Oh yeah I'm a superhero'."
While the actor insists he never has a career plan in mind when considering his projects, he "never imagined" he'd be invited into the Marvel universe.
He said recently: "I rarely have those kind of discussions with my representatives about anything. I don't have an agenda where I do a comedy and say, 'I have to do a drama next' or 'I am looking for an action movie now'.
"The Marvel world wasn't anything I thought about seriously because I guess I never imagined I'd get hired."

Patrick Macnee has died aged 93.
The British actor - best known for playing John Steed in the 1960s television series 'The Avengers' - has passed away with his family at his bedside.
A statement on his official website reads: "Wherever he went, he left behind a trove of memories.
"Patrick Macnee was a popular figure in the television industry. He was at home wherever in the world he found himself. He had a knack for making friends, and keeping them."
His son Rupert confirmed he died peacefully at his home in Rancho Mirage, California.
Some of his most notable film roles include in 1985's 'A View to Kill', where he starred as an ally of Roger Moore's James Bond. The legendary actor was also known for his theatre roles, having appeared on Broadway during his lengthy career.
In a 2014 interview, Patrick said the television show - which he starred in for nearly a decade - was so successful because it "did something different and did it better".
He said: "It was beautifully written, the ideas were very good, way ahead of their time and they incorporated fantasies for people who dreamed of doing exciting things."
Patrick is survived by his children and one grandson.

Emilia Clarke didn't realise she'd have to do her own action scenes in 'Terminator Genisys'.
The 28-year-old actress portrays Sarah Connor in the latest installment of the futuristic franchise and she admits that until she started filming, she had always assumed the most explosive movie footage was computer generated.
She said: "I'm gonna sound like an idiot, but when you're watching an action movie and you're like, 'Oh cool, special effects.'
"Then you're doing it and you're like, 'Oh. I actually run. I actually fire the guns and I run, brilliant, OK, I should probably get better at running.' I did a fair few of the stunts."
The 'Game of Thrones' star found herself better suited to some stunts than others.
She said: "My driving is pretty reckless anyway so the whole crashing every single vehicle I got into was apt, it made sense."
And the British beauty enjoyed getting to be a "badass" with weaponry.
Speaking on 'The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw', she said: "The most badass thing I did was fire a grenade launcher, it was very loud."
'Terminator Genisys' also features original star Arnold Schwarzenegger and though Emilia admits the whole cast were very nervous about meeting him, the tension soon dissolved as he was such a nice guy.
She said: "He's really funny and doesn't take anything seriously, he was a joy to have on set.
"Before he walked in the room everyone was tense and quiet and you could hear a pin drop and then he walked in and was brilliant and relaxed and calm and lovely and kind and funny and you're like 'Oh this is brilliant, he's not scary at all.' "
