Well, you might check out this link, posted by CEWB member Dan Dassow in another thread: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=%2Fc%2Fa%2F2010%2F12%2F03%2FTRO31G0S8Q.DTL... Eastwood recalls his favorite watering holes and hangouts in Monterey County. That's not hard to do, because he owns several of them, including Mission Ranch, the fabled Hog's Breath restaurant in Carmel and Tehama Ranch in Carmel Valley, where he resides.
For Eastwood, these days there's truly no place like home.
"I would say one of my favorite spots is this place [Mission Ranch]," he says, gesturing to the field outside the window of the restaurant. "I bought it because it was a favorite spot. They were going to have some 60 to 80 units of condominiums come in, and I said, 'No, we can't do that. ... I've got to at least try to restore it. We changed some things, but it's basically the same as it was 60 to 70 years ago. It once had a polo field where the sheep are, and they had a swimming pool out where the brush is. They also had a sort of '50s modern building down by the tennis court, and I tore that down and put up something that was more like Mission Ranch to me." The Restaurant at Mission Ranch is a spot he's frequently chosen to give interviews, and he is reported to drop in there casually from time to time. You might want to check out their website: http://www.missionranchcarmel.com/restaurant.htmlOn the other hand, though he may still own the Hog's Breath Inn, he takes no part in running it. Still, you might want to stop in for one of the "Dirty Harry Burgers" featured on the menu. http://www.hogsbreathinn.net/index.php

As for Clint's house, I heard when I was in Carmel from someone who used to work for him that he is building a big house. I believe it's currently being constructed on the Tehama golf lot. It's supposed to be huge, and very expensive. I wonder why Clint at 82 would want to undertake this kind of project, but I suspect it's probably for his wife and kids to enjoy after he's gone. If anyone knows any more about this, feel free to post more details. As for his current house, people in Carmel told me where it was, but I didn't feel it was appropriate to be a voyeur at his private residence, so I never went there.
It is huge: http://curbed.com/archives/2011/02/18/clint-eastwoods-15000sqft-estate-is-coming-along-nicely.phpFrom some of the scenes from that new reality show with his wife, it looked like some of the scenes may have been filmed there (inside the courtyard, etc..)
