lint Eastwood, now 95, has long favored the West Coast as his home base, with a real‑estate portfolio that reflects his taste for historic charm and natural beauty. Born in San Francisco, he first rose to fame in the mid‑1960s as the stoic “Man with No Name” in Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Westerns. During that era he lived in a mid‑century ranch‑style house in Sherman Oaks, but his property interests soon expanded beyond California.
In 1953, before his acting career took off, Eastwood married Maggie Johnson. The couple initially lived in an apartment he managed at 427 South Oakhurst Drive, a 6,000‑sq‑ft building built in 1930 that still rents out units. A year later, to be closer to Universal’s lot, they moved to a modest Studio City apartment at 4040 Arch Drive, paying $125 a month.
By 1959 the pair had upgraded to a hillside ranch house at 3512 Beverly Glen Boulevard in Sherman Oaks. Built in 1956, the home featured an extra room, a small pool, and sweeping views. Eastwood sold it in 1983 to producer Fritz Manes for $250,000; Manes kept the property intact until his death in 2011.
Eastwood’s first major out‑of‑state purchase came in 1978 when he bought Rising River Ranch in Northern California for $1.9 million. The 1,067‑acre estate, formerly owned by Bing Crosby, hosted scenes from the 1982 film “Firefox” and remains in his care.
In 1981 he acquired a 1924 Spanish‑Revival house in Carmel‑by‑the‑Sea for $525,000. The 4,500‑sq‑ft, four‑bedroom, four‑and‑a‑half‑bath home sat a block from the water. He sold it in 1996 for roughly $2.25 million.
Before filming “Pale Rider” (1985), Eastwood bought a home in Sun Valley, Idaho. He later described the mountain retreat as a non‑commercial, personal sanctuary. The property is still part of his holdings.
The same year he was elected mayor of Carmel, Eastwood purchased Mission Ranch, a 22‑acre property, for $5 million. He restored the ranch to prevent condominium development and opened it as a hotel. He also opened the nearby Tehàma golf course, whose clubhouse echoes the design of his Pebble Beach hacienda.
In 1994 Eastwood added a Pebble Beach home to his portfolio, paying $3.925 million for a 1928 hacienda‑style house. The 6,900‑sq‑ft property featured six bedrooms, Spanish tiles, vaulted ceilings, and a central courtyard with a fountain. He listed it in 2017 for $9.75 million, but it sold in 2018 for $6.975 million.
Eastwood’s Hawaiian venture began in 1992 when he purchased a 1.5‑acre beach house on Maui’s Wailea Beach for about $5.1 million. Completed in 2001, the property was later featured on the reality series “Mrs. Eastwood & Company.” It was originally a birthday gift for his then‑wife Dina, and its current ownership status is unclear after their 2014 divorce.
Around 1980, Eastwood bought a Bel Air home on Stradella Road. He and then‑partner Sondra Locke renovated the property, adding a tennis court and pool. He still owned the house as of 2013, though further details are scarce.
Eastwood’s real‑estate choices reflect a preference for historic charm, natural beauty, and personal significance over mere investment. From his early apartment in San Francisco to his current holdings in California, Idaho, Hawaii, and beyond, the actor has consistently chosen properties that resonate with his own sense of place and legacy.
