Clint Eastwood resides in his sprawling estate called the Mission Ranch with his girlfriend. The story behind the ranch is quite an interesting one.

The ranch was built back in the 1850s and was in disarray when Eastwood bought it. Over the years, Eastwood has done massive renovations to the property that boasts 31 luxurious guest rooms, a restaurant and bar, a workout room, a tennis court, and scenic views of California.

Clint Eastwood coming across Mission Ranch was an act of pure fate. The actor was a 21-year-old recruit at the nearby Fort Ord and was looking for a cheap place to buy a meal when he came across the ranch. At the time, the ranch was a dairy farm and the Fort Ord officers’ club.

”I had always loved the place, and they were just going to flatten it. They said it was obsolete. I thought it should be preserved as what it was,” Clint Eastwood said in 1993.

But when Clint Eastwood saw the property, he knew he would make it his home one day.

He later said about Mission Ranch, “The first time I saw the place, I thought it was terrific. Visually it was something else, and I thought it was the place I’d like to call home. So I kind of adopted Carmel.”

Once Eastwood made it big, he returned to Carmel and purchased the property, immediately beginning renovations. In the 1980s, Eastwood had another property he was looking to renovate in Carmel but was denied permission.

He found out that a lot of other residents faced the same issue and took matters into his own hands. He took the City Council to court and ended up winning.

A year after his legal win, he ran to become the mayor of Carmel and won by a landslide!
