Clint Eastwood’s $3.08M California land deal
In 1995, Clint Eastwood sold approximately 280 acres of his Malpaso Creek property in Carmel, California to Monterey County for $3.08 million. This significant land deal was not simply a donation from a celebrity, but rather a transaction that included a conservation easement to protect the land as open space. The county purchased the land using public funds, including those related to California’s Proposition 70, which funds the acquisition and protection of open space.
By 1995, Eastwood had been buying property in the area since the late 1960s, with his holdings reportedly growing to around 650 acres. The Malpaso property, spread around Highway 1 and the Big Sur coast, comprised five parcels and was situated in a landscape of steep terrain, coastal habitats, and Monterey pine forests - a stark contrast to heavily developed parts of California.
