The pair moved to the 15.5-acre ranch in 1979 and were married in the home's living room in January 1980. The 1892 Victorian house has antique stained-glass windows, mountain views, and family room and kitchen fireplaces. The ranch includes 3 acres of Syrah vineyards, fruit trees, a 3-acre equestrian facility and a 4,500-square-foot hangar where McQueen kept his car and motorcycle collection.

Forty years ago, when he first moved to Amsterdam, the artist and film director Steve McQueen would look at 17th-century cityscapes by Johannes Vermeer in the Rijksmuseum and wonder what lay behind the "random, mundane" actions depicted in them. Now he has captured the ghosts of a modern city, once occupied by the Nazis, in a 34-hour film being projected onto that same museum.
