Kevin Costner has offered a rare glimpse into his $145 million beachfront estate in Carpinteria, California, amid the aftermath of his high-profile divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The sprawling 10-acre property, perched on a cliffside with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, has been a focal point in their separation proceedings.
In a recent promotional video for Lifted Trucks, Costner is seen enjoying the serene surroundings of his estate, spending quality time with his teenage son, Cayden, and their new golden Labrador puppy, Buddy. The footage showcases the property’s expansive outdoor spaces, including a converted baseball field and 500 feet of private beach access. Costner’s connection to the land is evident as he reflects on the meaningful moments shared with his family there. HELLO!Fox News+1HELLO!+1
The estate’s prominence grew during the couple’s divorce, finalized in February 2024, due to disputes over residency and property division. Legal documents revealed that, per their prenuptial agreement, Baumgartner was required to vacate the property within 30 days of filing for divorce. After initial resistance, she moved into a $40,000-per-month rental home nearby. Business InsiderHELLO!+8easyreader.org+8House Beautiful+8
Costner’s real estate portfolio extends beyond this compound. He owns a 160-acre ranch in Aspen, Colorado, known as Dunbar Ranch, named after his character in “Dances With Wolves.” The ranch features multiple residences and is available for rent, offering amenities like skiing, tubing, and hiking.

Despite personal challenges, including the divorce and the departure of his character John Dutton from “Yellowstone,” Costner remains focused on his projects. He invested $38 million of his own funds into his passion project, “Horizon: An American Saga,” demonstrating his commitment to storytelling and filmmaking.
